Secret Simon Vid No. 001

Guess what? The blog is one year old today.

Guess who?

It's just me and an orange tree. Watch the vid.


Thank you Willing Warrior, sometimes all one needs is the right push.

Peace,
Simon

I'd raise a glass of wine... or even a cup of coffee... but I've restricted myself from both. So I'm raising a cup of tea to "beginnings."

I certainly am glad to have run into your blog.

Kudos to you man. That was FANtastic. Kudos. I commend your bravery and skill.

Cheers mate.

Happy Anniversary, Congrats on coming out.

Thank you for reminding me how important hope is.

You made my day.

jjd said...

hmm.. I tried to watch this at home last night and it wouldn't work so here I am at work, huddled up, finally getting the opportunity to see it and I am not in a teeny bit disappointed. It was beautiful, and I'm pleased I got to see it. I think you did a wonderful job. My first visit too, but I'll certainly be back.

Mike said...

Finally out from under the cold, but now I'm on somebody else's dialup for the rest of the week! So no video viewing...ah well. I can still say Happy Anniversary...and congratulate you for taking another big step out. Hugs!

Seeker Onos said...

wow... I am floored. That takes incredible guts to do what you did.

I can't say that I would be able to do the same, if I were in that situation... but well done.

Lee said...

My first visit as well. Happy blogiversary.

BTW - My immediate family lives in Florida. (I'm in Arizona)

Oh and thank you for all your comments and late night talk sessions as well...you're really a special guy, I hope you know that :).

What we choose to share with others is our gift to them. You've given the ultimate gift of yourself to us, but more importantly, you've given the ultimate gift to yourself.

May we all have the chance to begin again with our truth. Thank you.

Fantastic video! I have read your blog for the past year and it was your blog that made me start blogging. I actually think I linked to you in my first posting ever. Your stories and your sketches give my day a good start (Since I'm in Europe I usually read you in the morning...)
