ONE MOMENT IN THE MORNING TO CHANGE YOUR WHOLE DAY
Thursday, May 21, 2020
One of my favorite thoughts to anchor to is, “We have the power to dictate our own inner experience.” Now, there are always factors outside of our control that impact our lives in big ways. But, following the old adage of, “Life isn’t what happens to us, but rather how we choose to respond,” the

THE MOST OPTIMAL STATE FOR HUMANS

Thursday, December 20, 2018
Project Reconnect was designed to reconnect to the purpose-driven and nature-connected life that many of our ancestors exceptionally lived. So I set out to stand-up paddle across the Catalina Channel (~30 nautical miles) to reconnect to mother nature, and to raise money for a non-profit that is working on ridding the ocean of plastics. I knew it would be hard –

Sunday, December 09, 2018
STEPPING INTO THE UNKNOWN The day was finally here for me to attempt to cross the Catalina channel (a 26+ mile stretch of open water from Catalina Island to Redondo Beach, California).
