Some days bring adventure and excitement. You may find yourself trekking through the mountains, or out on the town with some friends. Maybe you have a performance or presentation that you've been preparing for in which you will stand in glory as you leave the audience in awe.

How Minimizing has Maximized
I have been on a slow, yet constant move towards de-cluttering my life. It has taken a lot of work, time, introspection, and letting go. I have read books and blogs that have common themes of "less is more", and it goes beyond the material and into the spiritual. Clarity, confusion, focus, regret, joy, and heartache … Continue reading How Minimizing has Maximized
Obligation to Opportunity
I had to take a moment to step outside and take a few breaths tonight. Something about the dark sky and bright stars brings me calm, and I needed to be calmed ; though I could not quite figure out why. There has been a lot going on the past few days, but it was … Continue reading Obligation to Opportunity

So what started as a breath, is actually a foundation for success.
Bitter Sweet
Joy and sadness mingled together to make a melody that speaks deep into my core. It's a time to embrace friends and family that are here, and lament those that are not.
Take a moment
Breathe. That's what I tell myself as I wake up in a restless state this morning. Just breathe. It's a lot harder than it sounds, because my mind is already indexing projects that should be completed; and planning out the day ahead. The only problem is that it's the Friday after Thanksgiving, I got no … Continue reading Take a moment
Rantings of a madman
Contentment. To be or not to be, that is the choice. What is it to be content? I feel like I haven't truly lived in contentment for a while. I have practiced thankfulness, but have not truly engraved it in my soul yet. As we have added more stuff and more responsibility to our life, … Continue reading Rantings of a madman
