Blowing out the candles of our coconut based ice cream cake, because today is our birthday ๐. ... One year ago, from the humble beginnings of wild mushroom hunting ๐ in Bancroft, Ontario ๐ฒ, I had written down dream โ๏ธ of where I saw things going. ... I wrote and said to myself that Black Magic โ๏ธ would be in the worlds top restaurants, apothecaries, elite health food stores and shops operating in integrity. I had no idea how to accomplish that but I knew if I never quit and stuck to living my truth and ALWAYS doing the right thing from sustainable harvesting practices to dealing with respectable heart ๐ based businesses, that it would come to pass. ... One year later, writing this by the Pacific ocean in Venice Beach, California ๐ด, I realize how many of those goals have already been accomplished in a relatively short period of time, and how others are so clearly in the process of being fulfilled ๐. ... I'm so incredibly grateful ๐๐ป to those who had faith โจ in what was happening with Black Magic without any proof of what would unfold. ... Without the support, love and Gary Vee level hustle of @marina__pratt, @duderadley, @lagreenqueen, along with my mentor (who always goes un-named), family, like my little brother, and my Finnish family ๐ซ๐ฎ at @foursigmatic for their business wisdom and guidance, this would have never, ever, ever happened ๐๐ค. ... Of course, love & gratitude also goes out to all the magical people who've bought our product online/in-store, and to the revolutionary companies like @lilorganickitchen, @rowantreeapothecary, @cafegratitude and @erewhonmarket who believe and support what we're doing by harvesting wild Chaga Mushrooms ๐ with traceable sustainability ourselves and creating Alchemy โ๏ธ to activate magic in people's lives ๐๐ปโจ๐. ... If you were cut me open right now, millions of little hearts would come pouring out ๐๐ป๐. ... So happy one year old birthday ๐ to us, may this year be supernatural, successful and expansive, from new forests ๐ฒ to hunt mushrooms in, to new places to hustle magic out of โจ. ... As always, Stay Shroomie โก๏ธ๐๐. (at Venice Beach)
