SNOW DAY! Those two exciting words to a child are an invitation to play, create, and discover what the adventurous unknown day will bring. Whether the adventure calls for an indoor blanket fort complete with makeshift pirate costumes (also doubling as outdoor winter layers) or an impromptu art project unraveling pint up creativity and energy.…
Free to Be Vulnerable

The only failure is the failure to try and the measure of success is how well we deal with disappointment. We wake up each morning and do our best. That’s all that matters. A few weeks ago I volunteered to be a speaker at an upcoming meeting for a self-help program that I participate in. (It’s funny how sometimes your hand raises before…
Remembering Who We Are

Sometimes in order to remember, we must forget. There are times in our lives when we feel very comfortable and content with the flow of things and suddenly the rug is ripped out from under us.

Working On Myself
| March 30, 2012 | Freedom, Mexico City |

Once again I found myself in the driver seat pretending to have control, but clearly spinning in circles. Chuckling in amusement, the Universe looked over at me and said “are you ready to let go yet?” Sure you might suspect that a freedom traveler like myself has the whole surrender thing down, but that is…
Life Is An Adventure!
