Fellow lovers, dreamers, believers, forgive me for my M.I.A. status of late.

But this post should bring you all up to speed on what’s been happening behind the scenes, where I’m at right now and what we can all expect for the future of the b. movement and Mykel Dixon.

I think it is important to say something with your life.

For it to mean something that is of deep importance to you. And this really takes something. It’s not easy for any of us to decipher the whisperings of our hearts amongst the bright lights and noise of our current world.

One must know what one stands for.

I’ve known for a very long time what I stand for but somewhere along the way I got scared it might not turn out the way I wanted. Pretty soon I was trying to figure out the safest, securest most guaranteed option.

And in another of life’s great paradoxes, the safer I tried to make my life, the scarier it became.

That’s not really a stand at all.

If you find yourself backed in a corner, locked in a cell and you knowingly swallowed the key, sometimes its necessary to shake things up a bit.

Sometimes you gotta go through the wall.

I found myself in this place recently but the moment I truly accepted where I was and my role to play in arriving there, I didn’t care how long I’d been stuck, all that mattered was getting out. And it’s amazing how things align when you take any kind of action.

I also feel strongly that another vital ingredient to a life a depth, peace and fulfillment is that if you are going to say something (and we are all saying something) it is very important that your life looks the same as you say it is.

In other words you walk your talk.

Not only do you give what you stand for the best chance of success but your own sense of self will be strong enough to see you through the hiccups which will inevitably present themselves along the way.

I was beginning to seriously doubt my vision and my commitment to making it happen.

It is with these flavours swimming round my head I realized it was time for me to leave Melbourne. Just get out for a bit and hit the refresh button.

I originally thought a month would suffice.

But a month, became 2, became 6 became 12 and before I knew it I had a bunch of work visas for foreign countries, an open ended ticket and had begun to clear out and sell up my studio.

All this took place in the last 6 weeks.

I packed my life into a bag, said a very teary goodbye to a very special someone and walked onto a plane.

I am currently in Hong Kong with a bag full of clothes, a case full of electrical/musical gadgets and a guitar and I’m just beginning to taste the tantalizing scent of the unknown in the back of my throat.

My very rough itinerary looks like this.

Hong Kong (now) – India (aug – nov), France (dec) – Sierra Leone (jan 2012) – Montreal/New York (feb) before settling in Berlin (mar – ?)

My intention for this adventure is to deepen my faith in the Divine source of our oneness, to embody all that I have learnt up until this point and express the fullest expressions of who I chose to be in this life, at this time.

I am only limited by my imagination, my courage, my gratitude and my willingness to work.

Though only the landscape has changed I am now very present to the unwritten pages that lie ahead.

My hope is that my unfolding story and the stories of those I meet along the way will provide value of sorts to you and your own life and choices.

I never planned on being a minimalist, lifestyle designer or digital nomad but it appears I have become one. Might as well embrace it.

I have a fully mobile recording set up with me and can write and record music in hotel rooms, on beaches, in airport bars and mountain tops.

And I intend to continue writing what will become my highly anticipated, genre defining, Grammy award winning, worldwide smash hit debut album entitled “fuck yeah”

So there you go kids, the same b. movement goodness with 19 times the nutrients.

I managed to finish a bunch of tunes before I left which I will be giving away for free to those lucky peeps who subscribe to the mailing list.

And I look forward to sharing some adventure with you.
 
 

I’ve been quiet on the blog front for a while.

My 30 day challenge brought with it many insights and just as many questions.

I’ve wanted to write here for weeks but couldn’t justify taking your time and attention without knowing what I had to say would be a positive contribution and make some small difference to you.

There is just so much noise on the internet.

For now, this can be my gift to you.

This video is worth the time. It is such a beautiful film. Please do your soul a service and watch it. Your life will be richer for it.

I promise.
