Climb Mountains – Even Small Ones
I went hiking yesterday. It did not go well. My water bladder didn’t seal right (my fault) so I lost half my water, which was comfortably all over my backside leaking from my backpack. It was really sunny and hot, even at 8,600 ft. above sea level. I got altitude sickness. I took a wrong […]

Your Body Has Always Been Fine
Every day. Think about that. Every day we pick at our lives. Pulling at stitches and scans, sometimes to bleed, sometimes a reminder.

Embrace The Trainwreck
I often find life to be a confusing ball of shit. Meaning, I have one idea of how it all should be, and then reality takes a dump on my ideas. It’s the universe. There are no rules or regularity. We have no control, only perceptions of control. While we can steer the sails on […]

Because when someone says you are such a good…. writer, artist, singer…. phlebotomist…. you probably are. In essence they are seeing the magic you have in you, the talent and the work […]

Demolish Your Comfort Zone
It is said that the life you want is at the end of your comfort zone. Maybe. In fact, I think a perfectly happy life is in the comfort zone. That’s the college and the job and the spouse and the 2.5 kids. You retire by 60, you snuggle grandkids, and you die around 75. […]

I Will Choose Love
When you ask people why they travel so often it’s associated with food, shopping, natural wonders, and maybe culture. Yet often we seem to look over one of the most rewarding aspects of flying off to a new land, the people. It’s my love for people that is truthfully the reason that I travel. I […]
