Hey — well done. Seriously.

Clicking here is a big deal.
And guess what? This is all about you — TODAY.

Or does that already smell a bit like 💩?

Fair question.

We live in a world where poop hits the fan a lot.
Fakeness is everywhere. People wanting your money are everywhere.

🐘 — So let’s get the elephant out of the room right now:

I WANT YOUR MONEY!!
GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!!! TODAY!!!!

I hope you realize that's a dad joke?

(If you felt a little suspicious just then — good. Awareness works.)

Yes, I have a weird sense of humor.
Yes, I spell in U.S. English even though I live in Wales.
No, nothing sneaky is happening here.

I create things. I write books and songs.
I craft digital collages.
Sometimes I do this in the dead of night when I finally get some time.
And if you buy one of my soul products — great. If not — also great.
Either way, this space exists first to grow something real.

If there's no meaning felt by someone somewhere then what is the point of creating?

With CJB TODAY you can be assured the meaning starts with my own love for what I do. If you love it too then great, are you single?

Yep. That was a strange way to introduce the word awakening.
But it felt honest. And I am healthily skeptical of anything too happy clappy!
I hear the groans from those who may not quite get what all this is yet.

So…

Welcome to the start of your soul-gardening journey.

Are you ready to creatively awaken to the Soul Happiness that already grows within you?

No?
Okay — fair enough.

Those who are… keep reading.

At first, the words “Soul Happiness” and love might chase you away.
That’s normal — especially if life has hurt you deeply.

But if you’ve been burned before, you may start to sniff the sincerity behind why this exists.

Okay — and here’s the thing.

This is also true, and I’ll happily hold my hands up and admit it:

CJB TODAY is an excuse for me to pursue my love of creating — and to show others it’s possible too.

Why?

Because I love it.

Creating makes you feel young. It keeps you honest. It helps you grow Soul Happiness realistically — from the root of your soul, and definitely not from pretending life is perfect.

You show me a garden that is perfect and I will point to the 💩 a bird just left on its lawn.

And if me doing what I love gives you permission to do the same…
then this space is doing exactly what it’s meant to do.

In a nutshell:

CJB TODAY™ exists for one reason — to help grow Soul Happiness in the world, starting with YOU.

Not by pretending life is pretty.
Not by bypassing pain.
But by learning how to live with everything — honestly.

Most people are wading through life’s muck, seeing it all as steamy manure.

This blog offers an alternative soul root (route).

Skeptically grounded, CJB uses this garden to explore how life’s downs can become fertilizer — growing you toward a more soulful life full of meaning, love, and clarity.

Or not.

That part is up to you — through mastering The Soul Acts.

Everything you’ll experience here — art, music, poetry, reflection, self-help — grows from one simple formula:

LOVE ✿ EVERYTHING ✿ TODAY!
#loveEVERYTHINGtoday 🦍💩🌱🌹✨
(In your own soulful way.)

Why start with manure? 💩🌱
Why not?

Growth rarely begins in pretty places.

CJB isn’t here to sell sickly-sweet positivity.
This is a space for the Alternative Soul — the curious, the skeptical, the tired, and the quietly hopeful.

If life is making your primal-ego 🦍 feel heavy, confused, or painfully honest about where you’re at…

You’re in the right garden.

Pain doesn’t disappear when ignored.
But when met with love 🌹 — even the messy parts can transform into something meaningful today.

This is how real growth begins.

Seeds grow here 🌱

The seeds are already within you — waiting to grow today.

Grow with CJB ✿

If you’re still reading, you already feel it.

The time for numbing is over.
