Fruity au-pair role in Caribbean
Costa Rica
Hello, we are looking for a special person to become a part of our family here in this magical jungle and fruity paradise. We are in the beginning phases of visioning and dreaming into existence a fruit-centred inter generational village. We have a 7 hectare piece of land, opposite a maturing and sometimes abundant 5 hectare fruit-forest, a short walk from a beautiful and swimmable river. We have great quality and alive drinking water.
We are looking for an open, consistent, reliable and earthy someone to immerse themselves into our lives and support us with our 5 children (0,3,6,10&12 years old).
We simultaneously run a retreat centre dedicated to fruit based healing and detoxification as a tools for inner and spiritual transformation. You would be housed on the retreat lands and have your own private room, a short walk from our family home, where we plant to be eating communally, fruits, raw vegan meals and simple cooked foods.
We are looking for someone excited by and dedicated to accompanying children, as well as supporting us in our busy family life as we dream into manifestation a big vision together.
We already have support with cleaning and house support, so we look for someone primarily to become a part of our family rhythm, play, homeschooling, gardening, bedtimes etc.

You should be comfortable with jungle living, resourceful, excited by community visioning and the prospect of being a part of this project, well educated and dedicated in fruit-based living. If desired, there are also opportunities to support and co-facilitate with our retreats.
This is not a paid role, or a job advertisement. It's an invitation into something deeper, to become part of and co-create a wonderful vision, be in service to children, and immerse yourself into a beautiful fruity lifestyle, and being fully supported in transitioning to jungle life, and on your path of fruit-based living

Like all men but more so, he was a hunter. In a literal sense, he used not a bullet but a bird. It was not about a chase but about a puzzle of logic and skill that amounted to a test of his self-mastery. He was the mouse and the architect of his maze. The giver of his own pleasure and torment. He desired. He desired desiring. He desired being desired. He desired desire itself. I understood this just as I came to understand the range of his kinks and complexes and how they fit within what I thought I understood of his soul.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

@Joyce... 17h O
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciatesβ€” scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the
"most wealthy person in the world."
