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 […]
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, […]
Morality. Does it exist? Do unicorns exist? If I asked you what a unicorn looked like, you’d be able to provide me with an accurate description. You could probably point to many pictures of them, galloping across a beautiful countryside. If a blind person were to ask what a unicorn was, I have a feeling […]
When I was a little boy, I remember shopping with my mother for seeds to plant in our family garden. These seeds came in small envelopes, with a picture of the plant/fruit/vegetable/flower on the front of the envelope. Holding one of the envelopes, I shook the package and listened to the small seeds rattle in […]
explaining the #resistance A few weeks ago, I was chatting with my older sister, Lydia, who asked me to write a blog explaining what ‘resistance’ means to me as the motivation behind designing shirts. I’ve been designing and selling shirts for over five years. The first shirts were sold in Texas, at local Pride Festivals, […]
I am the problem. It doesn’t take much sense to see the outside world and realize there’s something very, very wrong with our reality. Over 100 years have been spent preaching the virtues of capitalism, yet I have yet to see a world that exudes its supposed virtues with equality, fairness, and equal opportunity. Earlier […]
“It’s a beautiful day, Sister J.” “Every day is a beautiful day, Aaron.” This is a blog I hoped I wouldn’t have to write, but knew the day would someday come. Writing these words feels like a piece of my heart is being broken, because it is. Earlier this afternoon, I received word that Sister […]
When was the last time you hugged your friends? I’m reminded of a question found in Opa’s book; “have you hugged your grandparents lately?” he asked, at the start of one of the chapters. He went on to explain how much love and appreciation a single hug can have when given to an individual with […]
