Now always seems like the place to start anything. Now my name is Ryland Engelhart, and, as a matter of fact, it always has been. My Poppa is Matthew Engelhart the "Patron" of Cafe Gratitude. Now I am writing this from Costa Rica on a double Honeymoon with my wife Sarah Engelhart and our beloved friends and co-workers Avasa and  Matty Love, who got married two weeks after we did this past October.

We have been here eight out of our ten vacation days. We are staying in a beautiful house in small artist community called Islita in the middle of the Pacific coast of the country. We are minutes from the beach and  from a Five Star Resort that we have free access to. Every day we have done activities such as horse back riding, zip lining through the Jungle, surfing and on an on.

Now, in your mind may be saying, "YUK! Good for YOU buddy" or, "What's the Point?"  I am not entirely  sure yet, but there are many ‘Points’ or ‘Miracles’ right here in front of me and you in every moment waiting for our awareness to become aware.  While this point may seem simple and obvious it may be the greatest gift I have ever been given.

Vacation is the perfect circumstance to see that Life is an inside job. Most of the time we are being steered by obligations and responsibilities that we "think" create our experience of life. Here in Costa Rica where the weather is almost always sunny this season, the emotional storms still come through. No Matter where I go, there I am, carrying my wound. My version is, "I am not good enough? I am stupid?" and how I act this out is I TRY to fill every conversation space with "Deep Thoughts" by Ryland Engelhart. So the Now Miracle is to share your Shadow.  When you allow it and speak it out-loud, all of humanity feels like one crowd. This is a remember/forget practice, as soon I remember that I am acting out of my wound. My liberation is declaring that I forgot my greatness and I am trying to get your love.

Here I am free.
