Five Traveling Insights: Nomadic Truths From One Perspective

Five Traveling Insights: Nomadic Truths From One Perspective   For as long as I can remember I have enjoyed the adventure of traveling.

Remembering the Guardians

Remembering the Guardians   Every opportunity I have received to explore the Red Wood forests of California has left me with a sense of awe, wonder, and humility.

My 100 Days of Personal Transformation Experiment

My 100 Day Personal Transformation Experiment One of my long standing core beliefs that I have done my best to embody throughout my life is the understanding that a fundamental reason we are here on this planet is to grow, learn, create, make mistakes, explore, and evolve ourselves, our relationships, our consciousness, our understanding of the world, our understanding of our Selves, and ultimately, where we fit in all of […]
