Up Early Today Not To Open Presents But To Load Up & Feed $3,000 Worth of Free Food On Christmas

Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad! Blessings!



I and the Eden Knights were up early this morning loading up a whole truck load worth of food. We have been working hard, or as I like to call it "productive play". 



I didn't power down or cash out any $teem nor make a post asking for people to help me fund or execute this mission. This generally speaking is what I do every week of the year. 



Here at The Garden of Eden we focus in productive play every day so that we can not only take care of our selfs and family, but to produce massive excess so that we can help and inspire others to a better life. 



I didn't buy any of my children presents for Christmas. I surely didn't buy a Christmas tree and support the senseless destruction of the environment.  We won't be going out to eat or taking a vacation. I do this not because I am to lazy or poor or stupid to provide. I do this because I can't live with my self supporting the global industrial complex and devastation of the earth. 



Instead I am using all my time and resources to feed, educate and inspire people today, tomorrow and this new year arriving. 

I have a lot to do and I want to spend some time with my family today so I am going to keep this post short. Hopefully I will also make another post tonight or tomorrow with some highlights of our Christmas in @gardenofeden



We will eat a mighty feast together prepared on earthen stoves and in earthen ovens with salvaged trash wood. Our entertainment will be being together in love and living a life we feel good about. 

Below is a post I made yesterday with a video I recorded that I feel is very important so I hope you watch that as well. 

∞§∞Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and more importantly Blessings∞§∞

~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here is yesterdays post. 

If I am going to use my time and YOUR time to share this holiday message, I want to make sure it is of the utmost importance.



In this Vlog I share a bit about what the holiday season is like for me and more importantly what I hold most dear in life on a daily basis.



I wont waste the time to summarize this video as its all in the video. If you want to hear what I have to say I did my humble best to express the truth of my life and the values that I live by in my never ending quest for paradise on earth. 



I know that the holiday season is a festive and fun time for some and a depressing and lonely time for others. This is for all of you as I understand and have compassion for the spectrum of experience. That is why I asked for nothing this christmas but instead am giving away food, clothing and blankets. This is also what I do every day christmas or not. 



Anything is possible, TRULY. I wish you all the best in your experience and am here to help in any way that I can. 



Despite all the problems of the world, there are solutions and WE are the ones that hold our self back the most in life. My holiday wish is that you all realize your infinite potential and live the life of your dreams!




I am now doing 50/50 payout posts simply because the SBD is pumped high at the moment, but I will be converting it all to $teem and powering up of course!

"True celebration cannot be according to the calendar, that on the first of November you will celebrate. Strange, the whole year you are miserable and on the first of November suddenly you come out of misery, dancing. Either, the misery is false, or the first of November is false; both cannot be true. And once the first of November has gone, you are back in your dark hole, everybody in his misery, everybody in his anxiety."

"Life should be a continual celebration, a festival of lights the whole year round. Only then can you grow up, can you blossom."

I totally agree. I dedicate my self to making the most of each day and while each day is different it is an opportunity to do something important, to improve to help someone, to celebrate and cherish life.

Sometimes "shit happens" but even that is an opportunity to learn, evolve and provide contrast to really appreciate the "better" moments.

I appreciate all your support man and all you do for this community. You are indeed the Team in Steem!

Blessings today and every day Brother!

@quinneaker, you look really good and I do became a fan of your photography and it looks like you enjoyed each and every moment of your life and fulfilled your dreamt holiday. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas 🌺😃

I am glad you enjoyed it and enjoyed your comment so much that you value it at $2.98!

Blessings~*~

AMAZING !

Thanks, I feel it is very important and hope yo do so also...
SO amazing that you up vote your self for $2.63 for a comment of "amazing" which is more than you up vote this entire post?
Luckly for all the people I feed that I do that regardless of people actually helping.

Seriously if you waited for others to actually help, who would make the world a better place??? Almost none of us have the vision or the drive to do it, so we'd all be stuck in this same old shit hole. It IS amazing to break out of that and do something better for everyone! And to inspire the rest of us...that is truly priceless.

Wow, NO upvote for this post about helping others?? What do you find amazing about it???

hopefully she just forgot cause the post was so "AMAZING" ;-)>

I can certainly feel for us forgetful ones! 😐

yea....though as you can see she didn't forget to up vote her own comment and she also didn't comment back on all these comments......

Yeah that's not so good :/

Not IMO, oh well. It is what it is!

We are blessed~*~

You are beautiful, inside and out! Thank you! <3

Thank you for seeing me and sharing the love~*~

Great job!!

Why is that?

Well...for one, you actually care about other people.
For two, you actually spend your own time taking care of them.
For three, you genuinely love and support ALL - even the ones who don't love or take care of themselves :/ , even the plants, even the animals, even the bugs, even the planet.
For four, it's not even really a "job" - you're really doing it because you want to do it.
That's just for starters...

hahahhaha ok just giving you a hard time for the "great job" "spammer comment" ;-)>

Check out this @roxane comment on this thread.....

Haha yeah I guess that is the spammy way...although if I was a spammer it would have been one of the more creative ones like "good jop bro this good content I like. upvote 4 upvote"

If nothing else, the double exclamation points + my rep way above a 9 show I'm no spammer. :)

dafuq, @roxane?? Another demonstration of poor values on this platform.

hahahaha yea don't get a 70 rep from spamming.....
As I said I am just playing with ya ;-)>

You have a BIG HEART my friend!
God Bless you and your family!

Thank you Brother, Great to see you here and I wish you a wonderful day and a fulfilling life!

Ahhh, some friends in a nearby city used to dumpster dive twice a week and then have parties with the neighbors and some homeless people who lived nearby and other friends on the street and eat the food together. It was lots of fun and reduced a lot of waste, sometimes we fed up to 100 people, but then people started to get arrested for going in the garbage. Eventually the stopped. It'd be really great to do something like that again though. If I ever head back stateside for long enough I'll have to look you guys up!

Merry crimiss and god bless u and live a happy and long life

Eden Knights love it @quinneaker good job with the food I dont really do presents either and I think like this your children will learn today its all about family, its a shame you dont even decorate a tree but I completely see where your coming from and respect that.

Why is it a shame that I don't decorate a tree?

NICE PHOTOS it's nice to see some original talent here on steemit great way to pay it forward#selfless

Well I am not selfless, its just what I want to do with my life, to make the world a better place.

Merry Christmas!

I like to produce new, original and interesting content.

Yess i like it @quinneaker

Thanks

Ok

feliz navidad! Wonderful post! Happy to discover you! I was also into dumpster diving a while ago, now I just quited and I let the people that needed more to do it :) We live in a small city, so the resources are shared. But for years, I used to recycle most of my food :) Now, somehow I have this period when I enjoy the power of Money :)) Although, all my shoppings try to be plastic- free, I just wrote about it here https://steemit.com/nature/@purplemoon/one-month-without-plastic-my-experiment-s-results

Sorry to invade your life with my long comment like this, I am excited by meeting mind-likely people in this platform :)

Greetings,

I am glad that your excited and interested in more sustainable living. If you are be sure to check out @gardenofeden it is by far the most sustainable operation I have ever seen. Everything done is in consideration of sustainability and building a better world.

Hope you continue to integrate more and more sustainability in your life and use the power of money to build a better world.

Every day is a holiday, my friend.

Merry Day!

Blessings Brother~*~
