“I never take on a restoration project without a donor vehicle. You never know when you’re going to need an extra part because the original one was rusted, or missing.” I was taking a stroll through a familiar place; a manufacturing plant, operated by one of my mentors in Columbus, OH. He’s a hot rodder, […]

My last blog was an introduction to the passion I’ve discovered for massage healing. It was really nice to jot down a few thoughts that I’ve wanted to share concerning the subject. Today’s entry is an extension of what I wrote, after being on the receiving end of a massage that would defy the senses. […]

It seems like only days ago that I encountered a woman that would change my life (for the better) at a magical place I like to call ‘home’…Burning Man. Our camp had a few extra guests who needed a temporary place to camp. While chatting with the temporary visitors, we got to talking about our […]

“We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.” A friend of mine recently wrote a blog about ‘swipe culture’ and its’ impact on the modern dating scene. After reading the blog, I thought it would be nice to write a response from a different […]

When I was a little boy, I remember shopping with my mother for seeds to plant in our family garden.
