				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you don&#39;t know about the Morningland Dairy story, please google it. I have read the story and watched some youtube videos and the FDA / officials in Missouri did these honest hard working people VERY wrong.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I made a donation to Morningland Dairy today to an official fund that has been set up by supportive friends of the owners/family of Morningland Dairy. My donation will help pay for several pounds of the cheese that was ILLEGALLY thrown into a landfill by government officials in Missouri. If you feel inspired to give something, please do. Even if it&#39;s only $5, that will help pay for 1 pound of the cheese that was taken and thrown away.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The truth is this is not about cheese, this is about FREEDOM and it&#39;s relevant to every citizen of the United States who values his or her rights. This IS part of the battle we are in now for FREEDOM in our country. It happens right here and now in something as simple as good cheese being illegally thrown away ($250,000 worth, which crushed this small family business). In this case it&#39;s the right to grow/buy RAW food (which is how it used to be for as long as mankind has walked this planet up until a few decades ago), but it could just as well be about another one of our freedoms being taken away.</p>
<p>Here is the donation page&#8230;</p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px;">Do not buy or eat GMO foods or eat meat from animals that were raised on GMO corn. That is how WE THE PEOPLE can fight back and WIN against big companies like Monsanto and everyone who supports their devious ways. They are only in business and do what they do because people buy their food/products.</span></p>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:14px;">&quot;Xris and I were driving across Okracoke island (a small island on the outer banks of North Carolina) trying to catch the 9pm ferry to Hatteras island where our motel was. I looked over at Xris and said what has now become one of our favorite quotes of all time&hellip; &ldquo;Well, worse case scenario, we will write one song.&rdquo; Sure enough we missed the ferry and now you get to enjoy the one song, My Song.&quot;&nbsp;</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:14px;">I finally got around to recording &quot;My Song&quot;! It&#39;s the first song I&#39;ve worked on since 2008. With this track I can now officially say &quot;Welcome back Melodic Warrior, nice to see you again my old friend&quot;. It&#39;s been several years since I felt the creative spirit channel through me as it did in this piece. The lyric content is prophetic, its the perfect song to be working on as I enter back into the world of music. &quot;&hellip;now I&#39;m moving on because now I found my song&hellip;&quot;&nbsp;</span></div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A friend forwarded this video to me today, it&#39;s titled &quot;Lost Memories&quot;. Makes quite a statement.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Let us never forget what is most important &#8211; it is not money or possessions or status or achievements or virtual friends or knowlege or inteligence. All of these things pass away. It is not even our own selves. It is our connection to others and most importantly our connection to God (or whatever you choose to call the creator/giver/sustainer of life).&nbsp;</p>
<p>In my last moments of life, I will not be thinking about how many photos I took or how many fans I have on facebook or how much money I have&#8230; and my guess is that neither has or does anyone else, in that moment I feel we will all think about what REALLY matters &#8211; LOVE, LIFE, ETERNITY. And we will each have that moment, so it&#39;s best if we live a life of love NOW so that in that moment we will smile and have peace.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love Greek style yogurt! It seems everyone is jumping on the Greek yogurt bandwagon but most all I have tried are not good. </p>
<p>	Of all that is out there, there only 3 I have found that are truly worthy to be called called &quot;Greek&quot;. They are: Fage, <strong><a href="http://www.olympusdairyusa.com/products/yogurt" target="_blank">Olympus</a></strong> and now Wallaby. </p>
<p>	The Olympus band is the only one of the 3 that is actually imported in from Greece so yes that means it is at the top of the list of being most tasty and authentic but at this time it is the hardest to find.</p>
<p>	If you see any of these in your local store, get some! I get mine at Whole Foods. </p>
<p>	See pics of Wallaby below&#8230;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">We as a people need to eat more vegetables, fruits, nuts, and other raw foods. We need to stay away from processed foods as much as possible and if we do use processed foods then look for things that are minimally processed. Below is some very good information to know concerning &quot;corn&quot; and how it has been used/abused in the USA over the last 40 years. Also if you have not seen the documentary &quot;Food Inc.&quot; be sure to check it out.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently created a daily &quot;Live-by&quot; list that I will seek to live by, I am posting it here on my blog for others to read and enjoy. Please feel free to share it with others.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Body</strong> &#8211; <em>your temple</em></p>
<p>Eat healthy foods at every meal (preferably raw and organic).</p>
<p>Be active every day and exercise at least four times per week.</p>
<p>Always be learning more about how to be self sustaining (such knowledge may prove to be more priceless than gold, gun or stockpile one day).</p>
<p><strong>Soul</strong> &#8211; <em>your consciousness</em></p>
<p>Love and respect ourselves every day.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Find joy and laugher every day.</p>
<p>Be passionate every day.</p>
<p>Live in the moment.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Read something every day.</p>
<p>Grow as individuals every day (seek after love, wisdom, humility, balance&#8230;).</p>
<p>Work towards our vision every day (i.e. dream, mission, ideas).</p>
<p>Guard our ear and eye gates and our tongue as well every day.</p>
<p>Think on good things and let all of our actions flow out of the womb of love.</p>
<p>Build impactful, loving relationships every day.</p>
<p>Contribute to others in a meaningful way every day (gift, act of service, affirmation&#8230;).&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Spirit</strong> &#8211; <em>your connection (to God, yourself and others)</em></p>
<p>Pray and come face to face with God every day.</p>
<p>Honor God in all that we do and be accountable every day.</p>
<p>Be grateful and thankful every day.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Walk in awareness and perception every day.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Be true to who we are and why we are here (identity and destiny).</p>
<p><strong>Material</strong> &#8211; <em>your stuff</em></p>
<p>Shun debt. &quot;The borrower is servant to the lender&quot;, don&#39;t become a slave!</p>
<p>Possess only what we need to fulfill our purpose and vision (things/money are tools, use them and never let them use you).</p>
<p>Give.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago, I thought to myself &quot;Who are you in stillness?&quot; When there is no noise or distractions around you, no voices telling you this and that, no pressure from your boss or peers or teachers or ANY person. Who are YOU really? You know the answer better than anyone around you ever will, no one is you or ever will be you, no one will ever live in your skin and no one can die in it. So, be still and KNOW who you are then BE who you are. Let go of all the things that society says you should be, disconnect from people who are pushing you into a direction that is not you, come face to face with God and see the truth. If you are not being true to yourself and that which you were created and gifted to do then you will always feel empty inside, you will cheat and rob yourself (and others), you will be unhappy in life and you will die with regret. Sounds terrible but it&#39;s the truth and it&#39;s better to heed it now and endure the pain it will bring for a season than to suffer a lifetime of sorrow for living a lie.</p>
<p>Be one of the &quot;crazy ones&quot; like Mother Teresa, Ghandi, MLK, Edison, Steve Jobs, Jim Hanson, Mozart, Picasso&#8230; You!</p>
<p>Please share your thoughts here in my blog.<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got an email from an artist in Holland who fell in love with my music. She drew two pictures for me, one a portrait and the other a scene inspired by <a href="http://nikoonline.com/the-exodus-music-video/" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">the music video to my song &ldquo;The Exodus&rdquo;</a>.</p>
<p>No one has ever drawn me in a portrait before. It&rsquo;s very interesting to see another artist&rsquo;s interpretation of me and interpretation of The Exodus.</p>
<p>I am so deeply moved by the drawings that I would like to share them openly.</p>
<p>&ldquo;&hellip;this is my way of supporting your beautiful initiative. It was just a quick sketch coming out while I was watching The Exodus&#8230;..it touched my heart very deeply&#8230;.the music and the atmosphere felt like a deja vu&#8230;.which I often feel by seeing the pyramids&hellip;and also the acropolis makes something move in me. Together with the beautiful music, I started drawing and I could almost feel the heartache and the passion you showed by performing this in the lands of your forefathers. So, I decided to just keep it very natural and only colored the sketch with pastels so I did not change to much of the first impression I got, it was done in about 2 hours I think but it was strange because I totally lost track of time and was just lost in the drawing&#8230;.it was a nice experience&hellip;&rdquo; &#8211; Crystal of Zeist, Holland</p>
