    “I just love my life”. How wonderful to hear, and how seldom heard. True sign of personal wealth.

    I have been very interested in Saint Helena for the last year. I found and reviewed all the blogs about him, I recognize his streets, people. And I just can’t understand why I am a resident of Kyiv, a 4-million city in Europe, so attracted by this peace and remoteness. But on February 22, Russia attacked my country, it bombs our cities with cluster and vacuum bombs, we are sitting in bomb shelters. And I realized that my intuition attracted me to the island. It will always be a corner of peace in the world. Take care of him. It is a pity that I did not believe my intuition and did not go to this corner of paradise.

      Thank you for your message, it is amazing what you are sharing about St. Helena. We hope you will still be able to go there one day, and meet him and the various other people. In the meantime we send you and everybody else who is caught up in the violence our love. We stand for peace. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

    It looks like such a peaceful life! Gary was very honest & enjoyable to watch & listening to. It’s hard to figure out, how this island was even inhabited in the 1st place, because it’s so remote. But, it’s definitely provided a beautiful life for its residents!

Unfortunately these people who share their stories with us, have their own lives to live. So we can't spend too much time with them - just a day - to capture a small slice of their experiences and philosophies, to share here with you. We are looking at revisiting some of the people that we've filmed with in the past, to make another short follow up story, so keep tuned in for those :) Justine x

    How Beautiful God is friend.
    Let he who hath ears hear.
    Oh Fear the Lord all you Saints. He is our provider.
    The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He leads me beside still waters and maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
    He restores my soul.
    He is our exceedingly great reward.
    In the Beginning was the word and God was with the word and the word was God.
    God loved the world so much he sent his only begotten Son to die for us so that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
    Jesus is the truth the life and the way.
    The Bread of life.
    If you eat this Bread you will not hunger.
    Taste and see that the Lord is Good.
    You are truly rich if you have God.
    To he who has shall be given more.
    Heaven and Earth are full of God's Glory.
    The Sheep know their Shepherd. 🙂😁 God Bless you friend.

    The message that should resonate is there's natural beauty in most Places. Please don't assume all is Blissful...Elsewhere. Make YOUR Place "Paradise"! Find that beauty, nurture it, a grow best there.
    Films can make nearly-anything look good, & there's always a wise Elder to ask advice from in your surroundings. Ahemmm...might take getting off Social Media & YT to discover all that, though!
    Take note of one thing common to ALL these Elders...none have a "smart" phone to rely on. :-)

      Hi Fuera. It is definately an island worth visiting - the landscapes, the people - it's a very special place. Because St Helena is so remote, there are not many travel options. Currently the only way is to fly via Johannesburg (in South Africa). So maybe look into that option? If you do travel, let us know your thoughts when you return :)
