We shared the process by which we discovered our passion and restructured our lives to live that passion to a group of more than 75 people at the San Juan Capistrano Center for Spiritual Living. We explained the complimentary and balanced energies of the mind and heart and shared a process by which each one of us can discover our passion and live a fulfilled life.
It’s an intentional process by which we dedicate a larger part of our energy to the heart and observe how we choose to feel and then learn some ways to attract what inspires us to feel that way.
We will also shared the National Geographic Video that was taken of us while we were in Thailand to document our ORIGINAL Elephant Painting video of an elephant painting the image of an elephant holding a flower. Now with more than 10 million views on YouTube, we continue to educate and inspire people as to our oneness with everything.

With a dedication to fair trade pricing and sustainability, this company is truly an example of real transformation–offering hope to many on both the personal and political levels.”
While on vacation in Belize, we came across artisans making high quality home decor items – but were living in squalor. We decided to make a difference in the world. Liz sold her house and we used part of our savings to start ExoticWorldGifts.com.

A producer from the Oprah Show contacted us about using our video of the elephant painting the image of an elephant holding a flower. Now with more than 10 million views of our famous ORIGINAL Elephant Painting on YouTube and having been featured on the National Geographic program ‘Wild on Tape”, the beauty and magnificence of the elephant is more widely appreciated. The plight of the Asian elephant is also more widely understood and how supporting the larger number of elephants by the painting efforts of a few is very helpful to conserving the Asian elephant.
