Living
Yikes… Its been almost a month since I’ve written anything. What happened? Did I give up on my quest to find my own true happiness? Did I realize I couldn’t survive without the corporate chain around my neck? Did I decide that my pursuit for finding joy was nothing more than just being lazy... »
Be You
“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” Dr. Seuss I took a couple days off from posting because I just wasn’t inspired. I began wondering if there was really a value in these posts. I have always believed there was and I have... »
Finding Your Place
How do you know when you’ve found your place in this world? It is easy to go with the flow but so much harder to make things happen. But how do you know when it’s time to make the move? How do you know what is truly worth the risk? The only answer I can give... »
The Beginning
The Path “Every stone we lay affects the course of the river” Nat Keefe. I was raised in central Iowa where the education system is very good and work ethic is something that is ingrained into the children.

Climbing Mountains

Act Your Age
I have heard people say that you are only as old as you feel. There are people in their 60’s who start feeling bad for themselves because they are getting older and slowing down. But there are also people in their 80’s who downhill ski 50 days a year. It is truly amazing how some... »
Time vs. Money
It is often said that ‘time is money’ but isn’t it interesting that it doesn’t work the other way around. You can sell your time for money but your money won’t buy time. Children are the best reminder of how time is quickly slipping away. My girls are growing up so fast they seem to get bigger... »
Big Decisions
When I was 18 year old I wore bowling shoes everywhere I went, skipped school to grab lunch at McDonald’s, and jumped off a bridge. Did you do anything stupid when you were 18? I bet you did. At 18 you can’t see past the end of the week and don’t really think out... »
