Bowe Packer

Hello everyone! My name is Bowe Chaim Packer and I am a bit of a wacky, zany, fun loving guy who does his best to constantly where his heart out on his sleeve. I must say though, like many of you might already know, it often is challenging in this world that we live in. Throughout the years I have come to realize the only thing that I can truly be in control of is me. Or shall I say my actions and how I show up in the world. For me it is all about taking responsibility for how I act, how I treat myself and how I treat others. Wheewwwww, and I won't lie, sometimes it takes everything I have to make a decision to act appropriately. When I do, things always seem to turn out as they should. Funny how that works.!.! ;-) So, here I am publishing information to the world for consumption. I hope what ever words your read of mine and in what ever format you choose to read them in, that they make a difference in your life. No matter how small or large that difference maybe, it will tell me (in a cosmic kind of way) that I have done my job...... Be sure to always keep your heart open and listening with great intent, for then and only then, you will find what you are looking for in that moment.

Dedication

I dedicate this book to all those people out there who remind us of the things we have forgotten about ourselves.

And this holds especially true of my beautiful and amazing wife, Alma. She is the one woman who has the most amazing talent to let me grow and love the things about myself that I have not fully accepted.

I cherish the love she has for me when I may not know how to love myself.

May we all have this kind of beautiful soul in our life.

Sunshine In My Soul

Part 1: Your Own Vineyard

Starting the Vineyard

Starting your own vineyard isn’t as difficult as you might think. In fact, almost the only thing you need is some land. Now you’re probably thinking you need to get the right kind of land but that’s not entirely true either. You can grow your own grapes just about anywhere you want and that includes non-traditional areas such as your backyard.

What you do need is knowledge on what to do with your vineyard and how to take care of it
