Love me some Dr. Donny Epstein wisdom!
What he speaks about in this video is exactly what my tune from 2020 Surfboard Love is about.
Sometimes you gotta row, sometimes you can surf.
Either way; - you are supported by the stream if you allow it.

One of my favorite podcast-episodes that I keep coming back to
is an episode of ‘How I Built This’ featuring Haim Saban.
In this podcast Haim shares his incredible story, great humor and sound principles.
Some of the most inspiring takeaways:
#1 To trust your innate instincts no matter what seemingly goes on outside -
even if it takes nearly a decade to materialize your vision.
Haim spent 8 years cultivating Power Rangers before someone believed in it enough to air it on TV.
When it aired it became an ‘overnight’ mega-success.
#2 Haim’s definition of luck is having the skill to grab opportunities when they are presented to you.
Embedded the Spotify version of the podcast above, and linked to the Apple version below.
Enjoy!

I’ve shared this gem of a mix by my pal DirtyZen before,

Happy St.Patrick’s Day! On that note -
Highly recommend this book:
‘Anam Cara - A Book of Celtic Wisdom’
by John O’Donohue.
Profound would be an understatement.
I only started reading it today,
but it’s already taken place in my heart right next to my other favorite book
’The Dance Of The Soul’ by Hazrat Inayat Khan.
Anam Cara is on Amazon HERE.

On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You'll feel part of every mountain,
Sea and shore
You can hear
From far and near
A world you've never, never heard before
And on a clear day
On a clear day
You can see forever
And ever
And ever
And ever more
Don’t forget. You are divine <3
Seena
Peace, Love and Blessings,

A long time ago I was the biggest fan of the Mallorca Sweet Bread from Starbucks. Not too sweet, a bit mushy, a bit fluffy…It was just the perfect coffee pastry to me. Fast forward ten years and the Starbucks in my area has long but discontinued their Mallorca Sweet Bread offering. The other day I tried re-creating them at home. I’m not a baker and I usually don’t consume pastries, so I was lacking ingredients like white sugar, and kitchen essentials like parchment paper, a whisk and a food mixer. I was still able to bake pretty good-looking and delicious-tasting Mallorca Sweet Bread rolls! I used this recipe as a base, and then halved it, plus substituted white sugar for coconut sugar. If you plan to bake without a mixer, I would recommend baking a smaller batch like I did with this recipe. You can only mix so much dough by hand.
Seena’s Six Organic Mallorca Sweet Breads
Ingredients:
Use all Organic ingredients
1 stick butter
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup + 2 table spoons coconut sugar
1/4 cup milk
3/4 cup water
1/2 pkg dry yeast
3 1/4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
powder sugar
1 tbs butter for greasing the baking pan and 2 tbs butter for brushing the rolls with melted butter
Melt the stick of butter.
Mix the melted butter stick, the 4 egg yolks and the 1/3 cup + 2 table spoons of coconut sugar in a bowl.
Ideally you would have a whisk and whisk it together until smooth.
If you don’t have a whisk, just use a fork like I did.
Mix the 1/4 milk and 3/4 cup water together and heat them until lukewarm.
Put the 1/2 of yeast into the water and milk and let it sit for 30 seconds.
Mix the <milk/water/yeast> with the <egg/sugar/butter>.
Add salt and flour. Ideally you would do this in a kitchen mixer.
If you don’t have a mixer just continue using your fork and your arm.
Add a little bit of flower at a time to make it easier to avoid lumps.
When everything is mixed, go ahead and cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the cloth.
Grease a baking pan with butter, or use parchment paper.
Now it’s time to make the rolls.
Take an extra dash of flower and spread it onto your kitchen counter top.
Divide the dough into six equal pieces. Create long spaghetti like shapes of each of them.
Then roll them up into little circles. Tuck the end part of the dough in under the main part.
Put the rolls onto your baking pan and let them rise for another 25 minutes under the same kitchen cloth.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove the kitchen cloth and brush the rolls with melted butter.
Put the rolls in the oven for 20 -25 minutes.
Let the rolls cool down and cover them with powdered sugar.
Enjoy!
If you are looking for something to read this summer I warmly recommend The Dance Of The Soul. This is one of my favorite books, if not the favorite. It consists of a collection of profound aphorisms by Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan. I usually read a page or two in this book to get back in touch with what’s truly important. One page is enough, as the sayings are so elegantly simple, yet deep. Here are a few of my favorites:
As the shadow is evident yet non-existent, so is evil
It is easy to become a teacher, but difficult to become a pupil
As fire can cook food or burn it, so also does pain affect the human heart
The secret of life is balance, and the absence of balance is life’s destruction
If you fail yourself, everybody will fail you
One single moment of a sincere life is worth more than a thousand years of a life of falsehood
Before you can know the truth, you must learn to live a true life
