Personal Video- Thank You, Friends. Our Life Recipe 2011
This video is dedicated to you all, to each and every single person who has impacted our lives this year. Because of your friendship, our lives are richer in ways that we never, ever imagined.
2011 was tremendous for us. New friendships forged and fresh faces that we were finally able to meet at our workshops and conferences. To connect with those of you that we only knew online and to hear your stories strengthens our commitment to share, embrace and give back. Thank you to all our old, forever friends who inspire us to be better people.
The world was our playground of dreams this year. Travel was our palette for creativity and inspiration, but we had to take chances, make big risks to get there. Those valuable experiences remind us to never look back.
We wish you all a new year of continuous laughter surrounded by your loved ones. Immerse yourself with people and things that matter to you most. At the end of the day, that’s what really counts. And nourishes us deeply.
Thank you. Thank you. 100 times over.
hugs and love. always,
diane, todd and sierra
**Music Update- Many of you asked us about the song used in the video. It is a licensed song called Gravel Lines by Amy Seeley. You can view it on YouTube here. We were told by a blogging friend that it was available for sale for personal listening use on iTunes. Try to search iTunes and you might be able to purchase it to listen to. Have Fun!
‘Your eyes are your lens
Your heart is your shutter’
Just gorgeous.
This girl loves deeply, and those words really struck a chord.
Hope to get to know you both this year – and congratulations on all your successes in 2011.
My very best,
Aimee.
Lovely, just so lovely. I can feel the love you have for each other, Sierra & Dante. Thank you so much for what you both do & give to the community. I feel so fortunate to be able to call you both friends. I’m excited for 2012 & hope you both have a very happy new year!! xoxo
Thank you for this beautiful video. A friend of our family’s lost someone just before Christmas, and this is so timely and completely meshes with everything I have been thinking and feeling. What is the song? It’s amazing. As is, of course, the photography.
Hi Teri, the song is called Gravel Lines by Amy Seeley. The post is updated with more information about the song and where to find it. Thank you!
Happy New Year to you both – you are an on-going source of inspiration to me and I think of you often, even though it’s been far too long since I’ve seen you. I’ve told countless people here in Ireland of your generosity and kindness, and how stellar examples you are of the power of positive thinking. Thank you for being my friends, and I look forward to hosting you here in Dublin hopefully this year. Big hugs and kisses! XO
Lovely. Heartfelt. Inspiring. Thank you.
And may I ask who the soundtrack song is by?
Todd, Diane, and Sierra~you have so captured the essence of yourselves, and all you bring to us and the world. Thank you for capturing it in such a lovely film.
I will never forget romping with Sierra and Dante in your backyard, among new and old friends, sharing great food and laughing and playing together – and listening to Dante sing. Yes, loss reminds us to love those around us, today.
Thanks for the beauty that is each of you~xoxox
I simply loved this video, absolutely inspirational. Thank you so much for posting this! I hope to meet you in 2012!
As soon as I saw the video I was filled with many emotions…all I can say is “thank you” from the bottom of my heart. Happy New Year to you both and all the best for 2012.
Beautiful. Thank you. It is an honor to witness your love and harmony that you share with so many. I hope our paths will cross someday.
Many Blessings, Chandi
Haven’t even seen the video yet, but adore the cover pic of you together. Lovely to add you to my life this year. Wishing you much joy in 2012.
Hi to the 2 of you (and a big hello to Sierra, too)–
I have been reading your blog for quite some time and I’m constantly thinking “wow”, “ooooh”, “hmmmm”. It’s a mixture of awe, being impressed, and seeking the level of creativity and joy you have. Your video encapsulated so much of what I aspire to be. Thanks for reminding me of the possibilities. Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!
