What if we could rise up from where we are rooted, meet each other like a long lost harmony Dance as if we shared the same five senses as if our feet were planted on the same small planet Our veins running the same red blood … We forget why we fought ourselves in the […]
1. Talk with your family Your family is your role model for your other relationships. Your family relationships can be the source of love, pain, or differences – it is entirely what you make of them. Strong relationships don’t happen without regular communication. Call home. 2. Get sh*t done Your 20’s are a decade-long learning […]
“Your 20’s are for f*cking up and being able to write it all off as a learning lesson in your 30’s” Steve gave me the above advice in one of our many brother-to-brother chats. I think about these words often, especially with my 30th birthday right around the corner. Looking back on my 20’s, I’m […]

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 […]
Earlier this year, I took a journey to Tijuana, Mexico, to visit an orphanage operated by the Corazon De Vida Foundation. The trip was an incredible opportunity to spend time with the 93 children who lived at the orphanage, as well as get to know the donors and workers who gave freely to help make […]
It’s been a while since I’ve written a product review/suggestion. This is related to the ceasing of my old binge-purchase habits through Amazon. It’s been a few years since I crossed the 350+ orders per year threshold. Nowadays, I look for products and services that solve immediate problems in my life, with simple designs, pricing, […]
