21.01.2022 HAPPY-JOYOUS-AWESOME-EPIC (please add more adjectives of choice here... ) 2020 Having seen only 2x koalas in the wild previously to the last 3 days in my life and then 3x koalas in as many days, my gut says something’s up So I feel to share my dialogue with the pictured ‘Blinky Bill’ (koala ) as an intro to 2020... After asking blinky ‘Whatcha think?’ I was startled at the response... In a benevolent manner he replied; ‘I appreciate your care and consideration for desiring to supple my thirst, I see you’ve presented a plastic vessel to contain this precious commodity called water and I ask kindly in future to maybe consider another sustainable resource to do the job’ I was shocked It’s 2am in the morning, completely sober and getting lectured by a super cute, chillaxed, stress free mammal but at the same time totally fascinated & intrigued ‘You see’ said the koala ‘It is a common trait as I’ve witnessed humans over time to consistently band aid the symptoms at hand. The potential cause for where we are collectively stems in the unconscious/unbalanced actions of humans’ ‘The fact you’ve bumped into me is synchronistic as I only speak to those who are ready. It appears as though there’s a desire for you to want to be part of the solution!’ ‘Yes, Yes!’ I responded excitedly ‘Where may I begin?’ ‘Firstly’ said the koala ‘Believe nothing I have to say, mainly because you may end up in a mental institution if you tell anyone’ I started laughing profusely, not only a wise koala but a humorous one at that! The koala went on to say ‘It begins by going within and bringing harmony to the male/female energy principle and ending the war of the sexes, with this awareness in place it may unlock the key to living as a balanced human at this time’ ‘Wow!’ I said ‘Please continue’ ‘I give you permission to share this on social media, as this thread has a limited typing capacity, you can simply connect with source at anytime to continue as the time has finally come where we are faced with a choice; to learn or not’ I thanked Bill, picked up the plastic container and promised to make a difference in the world tbc
20.01.2022 Holy S#+! I think I just made the best baklava ever in this lifetime! I knew this solstice/eclipse energy would be great for something! (super light crispy crunchy buttery fillo pastry layers of nutty goodness with a delicate balance of juicy yet not too sweet fragrantly spiced syrup... argggh (noise made when frothing at the mouth ) I finished one piece... then looked at the whole tray and thought... it’s all Mine...!!! then remembered most of my family is shootin’ up insulin... and so it’s likely to be onward gifted now!) who’s in? #iliasthegreek #is #back #baby

18.01.2022 Cherishing the precious moments we have with our elders is something I feel deeply called to action in this lifetime. My 'Papou' has been an inspirational figure for me, a warrior with a huge heart, humorous & able to bring light to any scenario, a healer, an alchemical magician with the plant world & all round top bloke respected by many in the community! After receiving a phone call that he's in palliative care, I grabbed my 'lira' & jumped on a plane to hang out with him. ...We shared stories from the 'opal fever' days where I lived underground searching for the elusive gemstone & my grandfather revived me one day after a mining accident, we played some 'pontiaka' music & I could feel him liven up with joy to share some of his signature one liners! Feel totally blessed to share some of his light with you as tears form writing this. For me I've learned how much our elders are mistreated & disrespected in our modern times, after listening to my grandfathers wishes to end the suffering caused by our western medical society's take on death, I feel like he's taken the courageous steps to prepare himself & face his imminent mortality with beauty.

16.01.2022 Yiasou & Wooo! so awesome to be cared for by these wonderful women nurses who helped me to fulfil a graceful recovery from my recent surgery (ie. extracting 4x impacted wisdom teeth ) A wild ride that taught me lots about the teacher of pain I have gained more respect for life and my stuck emotions cracked open to enable another wave of inner heart healing true to my word I returned today to share the baklava love with all of them pictured here (can u tell we’re... all just a wee bit excited ... even mother Mary’s got her eyes on the prize! ie. delicious flaky pastry, nutty scented sweet layers of Greek style heavenly goodness, Kali orexi! ) lots of gratitude shared with all the peeps who were checking in over the last two weeks especially Gemma for escorting (& videoing me ) whilst on a post op high! which still has me in stitches not long to go & restrictions will be lifted so a big phat iliastheGREEK style cook up and hugfest is imminent, OPA!!! in the meantime sending huge metaphysical hugs & super excited to be alive at this time on this planet during this wave of chaos that precedes us! My intent is to embrace it fully and enjoy the ride, Yeeehaaaa! #vegetariancuddleparty See more
13.01.2022 Feelin’ honoured & blessed to have met culinary legend Janni Kyritsis earlier today a wonderful, generous, light soul who’s nature oozes generosity His delightful presence struck me as he spoke of how he conducted himself in a calm/natural manner in the kitchen during the heydays of his career (Rare trait in my opinion) I learnt much during our conversation and here’s a few points that stood out He shared how he focused on ‘cooking’ and left business for business pe...ople... brilliant I thought! he went on to mention that he stopped cooking professionally at the height of his career because he felt to! He then returned to his grassroots cooking Greek food because of the memories he grew up with in what sounded to me like a beautiful upbringing & lastly (maybe this ones engrained in the Greek culture! ) the importance of socializing & human contact which has been directly challenged at this time in humanity! As he spoke of his experience images of all the people/chefs/food lovers I’ve connected with previously flashed in my mind who had shared how greatly they were impacted by Janni on their culinary journeys... (Question popped for me... what is my legacy gonna be....?!) I shared some baklava with him & upon leaving he gifted me this wonderful cookbook ‘Anatolia’ I felt inspired after chatting with him to pursue my journey soon into Asia Minor/Pontos & do the pilgrimage to my Great Grandparents’ homeland
12.01.2022 Happy Valentine’s Day Lovelies Feelin’ so blessed to share life with this goddess Everyone deserves LOVE! #

06.01.2022 RIP Yiayaka Literally on the other side of a wave of grief that’s moved through since yiayias passing I feel to share some of her legacy here which reminds me of her true warrior spirit a real trailblazer of her time having endured two major wars raised 5 children, uprooted from her homeland of Greece transited in a boat for 40 days to begin life in a new land with nothing other than her family & some belongings They shared a home with 4 other ...Continue reading

02.01.2022 OPA! For those feelin’ the effects of social isolation and not deterred by nudity , I discovered this chap between ballina/wardell on the M1 willfully giving epic warm unconditional free hugs to all those willing to ask , total legend especially at this crucial time for humanity... gps positioning will only be sent out to those determined souls willing to stand up for what they truly desire (& there’s as close to zero possibility for covid-19 transmission as he/she is constantly sun baking!
