ACTS OF LOVE
THAT GROUND YOU IN 🌱
EARTHY SOUL HAPPINESS*

*Realistic. Grounded in nature. Rooted in love.

DON'T PANIC! DARKNESS IS SHOWN TO HELP YOU SEE THE LIGHT.

That's basically it.

🤫 Hidden Message!
—For Skeptics 🤨

Hey, listen. I know—when you see words like "ACTS OF LOVE" and "SOUL HAPPINESS" your eyes roll and you start backing away, scanning for that exit click, right?

That was me too. Still is, sometimes—especially when a money collection box is waved in my face. I never used to feel comfortable around words like that. They always sounded like they came with a hidden agenda.

That’s why I’ve written this hidden message just for you.

I’ll get to the point:

You may not have had these moments yet—or maybe you’ve had many—but I’ve lived through traumatic pain that made me question everything. What’s THIS all about? What’s the point of carrying on? I wasted 50 years of my life letting anxiety steer everything. And then… I survived the left-field moment my wife told me she wanted a divorce. But don’t worry—no bitterness here, just the soul acts that grew into LOVING * EVERYTHING * TODAY!

It's true, it's life changing, because before I understood how the soul acts, there were too many of the painful moments.

But now I see those moments as truths. And it’s from such truths phrases like “ACTS OF LOVE” grow their authenticity. No slogans here. Each word has soulful meaning. Sincere. Real. Earned. Lived!

And you know what? Overly happy words and phrases grow on you to become pretty damn lit. (My daughter’s word, not mine. I’d say “cool”, but that went out with the Fonz—who, by the way, is still cool. Right?)

Hey. 👍🏾

Anyway. I digress.

You’ve got a choice now.

You can ignore the loving and happy sentiment, dismiss it as preachy or fake…

Or you can choose to stay.

Grow 🌱 with me.

Also, know this is an equal partnership!

The CJB vibe is about you, too.

And together? We’ll rock this life.

Making HAPPY DAYS. (Damn. There I go again with the sickly-sweet words.)

If you’re still with me, I’ll see you below.

If you’re ready to ACT lovingly towards EVERYTHING you do, dive in below and feel the real change start to grow in you, today.

The Soul Happiness growth formula is simple:

LOVE * EVERYTHING * TODAY!
(Especially yourself 🤎)

I’m CJB.
Curious artistic soul. Agoraphobia conqueror with BIG ideas. Raw honesty. A love for nature, sound, and soul.

And just like you—I’m dying. But more importantly, I’m dying to live.
I squeeze the juice out of every today, even the shit ones.
(That’s where the best manure grows the good stuff, right?)
This wisdom seeps into my creations—get ready to flare your nostrils and take a good earthy whiff. And yeah, the occasional dad joke still slips through. I’m learning.

My words, music, art—they exist to awaken you.
To remind you of what’s real. To bring you back to your soul.
Sometimes that takes shaking the tree. Sometimes it takes lying under it.

Real Talk:

Life has handed me pain.
But it’s also handed me the tools to turn it into meaning.
And when I see people like you, going through your own silent battles—
I want to give back. If one thing I’ve made helps you breathe,
cope, sing louder, or cry freer... then it's worth it. Truly.

This blog, this band, this vibe?
It’s not content.
It’s connection. It’s a movement toward real joy—
not sickly-sweet, but grounded, raw, soulful.

How can you help?

Be part of this pod of earthy souls ready to live a more soulful, grounded kind of life.
Turn pain into gain.
Use that mental rain to sustain—to live again—today!
Like, share, comment, follow. Let the algorithm know this kind of light matters.
And be kind—not just to others, but to yourself. That ripple effect? It’s powerful.

And what is Soul Happiness?

It’s not fluff. It’s a fierce, loving state of being.
Rooted in acts of love, toward yourself and the world.
My book The Soul Acts explains more.
But for now, just know: you are a powerful soul.
Capable of making today a little more whole.

Let your day be shaped by the words, sounds, art, and insights you find here—and by your own creativity.
Sometimes you’ll see my work and think:

“Has CJB finally lost the plot?”

Maybe. But look closer.
There’s always a seed of truth growing underneath the weird 🍄

I’ll leave you with this:
Everything I do aims to awaken your soul—
not to escape the human, but to transcend the primal ego 🦍💩
To help you love from the inside out.

🍃

Every post you read…

Every sound you hear…
Every poem, every leaf, every walk through this digital forest...
It all leads you back to one thing:

🌳 LOVE—EVERYTHING—TODAY!

The Soul Acts will light The Way
—to your Soul Happiness.
