Home sweet home (where ever that is)

As of right now, this very moment, I don’t believe that I have to travel anywhere next week.  That is subject to change, but right now, I can stay in one place.  Living out of a hotel is not too much fun, especially when you are up very early, working by 05:00 in the morning…

My Brother

Yesterday my brother and I had a conversation, like we always do, daily, during the weekdays, he was telling me about a video that he saw of Carlos Santana talking at one of his shows in Las Vegas.  The subject of Carlos’s talk was love and how we all have love inside of us and…

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring

Once in a while it pours rain.  When it does, we should catch it so that we won’t be thirsty later when it’s dry.  Right now it looks like a storm is heading my way.  This is a good thing!  There is a lot of work heading my way. I am so grateful for it! …

Disappointment or Not

Last week I was notified that I did not make the cut for a job that I had applied for.  I am disappointed that I did not get the job, but this leaves the door open for other opportunities.  I have faith in the creator that I will be doing what is right for me. …

Today

Today I drove to Costa Mesa to pick up a text book for my partner.  I had to go to Orange Coast College to get the book that she purchased on-line and needs for her class on Sunday.  She is out of town so she could not do it. Since I had to go there…

So much so

I am blessed!  I think of all of the things that I have in my life; all of the things that I am able to do.  Knowing that there are many opportunities out there for me, if I should so decide. This past Sunday I spent four hours sailing out around the Long Beach /…

The right path

I am currently reading The 6 Phase Meditation Method by Vishen Lakhiani.  He has a section on gratitude and I am happy to say that according to Vishen, I am on the correct path as far as gratitude goes.  My brother and I started this blog so that we could express our gratitude to the world.  I…

Flying High

Yesterday evening I took a quick helicopter flight around the area of Sedona Arizona.  It was my first time ever flying in a helicopter; and even though I was cramped in the back seat, four of us were sitting across, and I had to sit through a time-share presentation to get the flight at an…

Travels

Today I am in Sedona Arizona.  I spent the day hiking around several different trails.  I understand why people are attracted to Sedona; forget the vortexes that are supposed to be here, this place is beautiful.  The beauty that surrounds this city is just incredible.  I am so grateful for my partner who brought me…

Life is short

Last night I was watching a show on PBS about an alien object that had entered our solar system.  Scientist predicted that it had come from another solar system that was eight billion years older than ours.  That is hard to imagine.  As I pursue my new career and life on the oceans I still…

A New Year; A New Beginning

I have survived another year.  I am another year older and another year wiser.  Looking back on the year 2022, there are a lot of good people that I have met and a lot of lessons that I have learned. The year 2023 I am anxious to share my experiences with others, to help educate…

Year End!!!

This weekend will mark the transition from the years 2022 to 2023.  This has been quite a year!  This past month I graduated from Orange Coast College with an Associates of Science degree in Professional Mariner Activities and already there are opportunities opening up for me.  I officiated on several national soccer tournaments, meeting other…
