Last week was amazing. By amazing, nothing extra ordinary happened. There were no unicorns and rainbows, no pot of gold, or fairy godmother waving her wand. It was just an epic week of self realization and discovery. It was a week that I learned the above secret: keep going. That’s pretty epic right? Just keep going. Life isn’t always a walk through a field of … Continue reading The Secret: Keep Going
I just finished watching the season finale of Touch and it inspired a post of same name and tonight’s episode inspired even more. I know I was on this earth, in this Universe, to make a difference, a positive force in the world and for the last few weeks, I haven’t felt that. In all honesty, I felt like I had no purpose or need to … Continue reading Whole Again
This is a perfect home to me. I like simple living. When I moved from 418 to 470, I got ride of 70% of everything I owned. Books, furniture, clothing, knick knacks, etc. The other 30%, if I could toss it all, I would have started from scratch. I want the above. Right on or near a beach in Australia. Any beach will do.

“I pick myself up off the ground, sick to death of lying down… You’re in my soul. You’re in my mind, but I don’t know where you are now.” ~Stereophonics When my mom passed away, my friend and co-worker Sarah W. said, “Invite your mom to come play with you in your dreams.” For months, every night when I went to sleep, I’d invite my … Continue reading Listening to the Universe
Here’s my only apology to the world: “I’m sorry I’m not sorry.” Yesterday was a day that I will mark in my life as one of the greatest days in my life. Why so great? It was unexpected. What was so unexpected? It was a fucking awesome day/night. The ones you see in a movie and go, that never happens in real life, but things … Continue reading Apologies
By http://www.fustattoos.com/ While getting the tattoo done, Travis said to me, “You have two tattoos that tell you to how live. You’ve got no choice now.” He’s absolutely right too, and I told him, so far, I think I’ve got this living life to the edge down pat.
