This is a fun video from our Rawfoodfamily at the pool. Don’t know why my wife Katie was even filming this, but as we all chuckled when watching this, we thought we would share it with you. A harmless little piece of nonsense.
I finally had to out myself with this video.
It was a challenging and frightening thing for me to do, as I am being totally honest and presenting myself in a vulnerable state of mind.
I am an Alcoholic.
I used to drink alcohol on a daily basis, and I used to drink A LOT of it every weekend. I abused the alcohol up to a point that it was affecting me in a bad way.
The reason why I am sharing all of this so openly is that I want to help people out there to see that they are not alone, and also to show people out there, that something can be done about it. The good news – actually the VERY good news is – that I am a dry alcoholic. I am a dry alcoholic …. right now!
I feel that this addiction is something that will be with me for the rest of my life. So, I am not over the hump and never will be!
If you have been an addict one time in your life, you ALWAYS will be one. It is good to remind myself of that fact, to stay on the edge.
It has been almost 4 years now since I touched a sip of alcohol, and I have the intention of never, ever drinking again in my whole life.
I am very proud of this fact, and I am very proud of myself. I do not care so much what you (or everybody for that matter) thinks about it. I know I can do it, I know I have been doing it right for the last several years, and that makes me feel good.
If I am happy for anybody, then it is first and foremost for my children, and then for Katie. My kids deserve SO MUCH, to have a father that is present and clear in mind and emotion. I am very humble and happy that I could be that father for many years in a row.
But who knows what is going to happen?
I don’t know!
All I have is my faith, and my strength to stick to this.
I am strong willed and (thank God) things are getting easier over the years, but I would feel that it is a dangerous statement to make to say:
“I am healed! I am over it!”
I am not. I am an alcoholic and I will stay one for the rest of my life, and it is good to be aware of that fact.
It very much helps me to stay dry.
Doing this video was a strong thing to do for myself, and I hope it does help other souls out there.
I am honest and I am real here, and I hope you can take it.
This is my take on alcohol and booze, and the way I roll with (or actually ”without”) it.
I love you!

As I was presenting a video to you several weeks ago, talking about how you can make women want you, and so many women responded, I needed to make this video. You ladies asked for it.
Here it is!
Please be aware that I am only expressing my own opinion here. I am not claiming to know the truth AT ALL. Just expressing myself.
This show is intended to be for women. It is answering a question about relationships:
How to make a man want you.
How does it work?
Well, here I tell you.
This video today is intended for you goddesses out there, giving you some tips.
I am not following old, ancient role models here. If you are a girl that likes machoism (are there still some of you out there anyway?? I guess there are!!), then this video is not for you. Even though I am not talking about those old roles, I am still also aware that some patterns do still exist, and that is good.
It is no longer just about sitting at home, taking care of the kids and preparing the food for your god as soon as he comes home from a hard days work, putting his feet under your table.
There is more than this to a relationship.
We COOL men want you to be more than that.
We cool men want to be more than just the provider for the family.
We want to take responibility for the kids, we also want to have some say in the household and to help you.
Things have become more unified. Deep relationships have intensified, as those old ways of role thinking are disolving. We can help each other and share more of our lives than our grandparents could when they were young. So, let’s take on these new opportunities of creating deeper relationships that offer more depth and connection than ever before.
We men are turned on if you women are confident about your beautiful, feminine side.
There is no need to hide that.
Actually the opposite is true!
We love you to be feminine and proud.
We love and honor you women and would like to see confidence in you.
So you ladies out there. IF you also want to attract a guy that is strong willed and confident about himself, his body, his mistakes and all aspects of his being, this is what you need to cultivate in yourself.
Then you will attract this man into your life as well.
This and so much more is true, and I am talking about it in my newest video here.
Please access it and let me know:
What do you think is needed to make a cool man want you?
If anybody would have told me 3 years ago, that I would get 1,000,000 clicks with this Youtube channel, I would have laughed out loud!
I would have been ROTFL!
LOL!
Well anyway: It happened!
Over the beautiful Easter weekend, we reached the 1 million mark and I am happy as a humming-bird!
Or happy as a hippo?
I don’t know, my German always gets in the way!
This video here is meant as a “Thank you!”
A humble and grateful sign of appreciation to all of you Life Lovers out there.
Loving Life TV with Ka Sundance would be nothing without you!
Thanks, especially those of you who have been following our adventures from the early days.
It all started on a warm spring day in 2009 in the UK. Then we took you with us to Germany and then our long winter holiday in Thailand, just to make the huge jump over to Costa Rica, where we have been living now for more than 2 years.
Woo-hoo!
What a ride and you have been with us all along the way!
The funny thing is we have the feeling that we are just getting started!
The next exciting goal is to reach 10,000,000 views in a shorter time than it took to make the first million happen.
We know we can do it!
So please help us spread our message of love, health and bliss, by subscribing to our Youtube Channel at

If you want to be happy rather than normal, this is the channel to watch from now on!
Please share our Youtube channel with your friends and family via your facebook!
Let’s do it.
My very last question is this one:
How can I serve you better?
What kind of videos would you like to see from me?
Please leave a comment, to help me serve you better!
Lots of love,
It has been quite a while since we gave you an update on our day-to-day diet that we enjoy as a raw food family with 4 kids.
As we always want to inspire you health conscious families with children to eat more healthy raw food, we want to share with you how we do it.
However, it is important to us that you understand that we are NOT telling you what you should do.
We also are not certified nutritionists.
All we want to do is share how we do it!!
As we have been living a raw food lifestyle as a family for more than 8 years now, you also must understand that our diet will be different from somebody who is just starting with this.
We feel that we have purified our diet again, after being in a tropical climate for 2 1/2 years now. The sun, the fully ripe tropical fruits all year round, the coconuts and the warm south-pacific ocean all year round has really helped to increase our health level to a new all-time-high.
It also has helped to simplify our diet. We sometimes have mono meals even though we still like the raw gourmet kitchen. We have also incorporated some cooked foods like quinoa, brown rice and buckwheat noodles into our diet, but we always have a huge salad and raw sauces/dressing with it.
In case you want to go (high) raw with your kids as well, we highly recommend our book “Raising Raw Children”. We are currently doing the last work to publish the 2nd edition, where we applied a lot of updates and some changes after being on this diet for 3 more years. The first edition of our book was published in autumn 2009, and we are happy to release the new book in early summer 2012.
