Let Freedom Ring!

Today we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence here in the United States of America.  Even though I believe that some of our fore-fathers would be rolling in their graves if the saw our government now, they way our politicians act, I am still very grateful to be living in the United States…

One Day. At A Time.

My head hurts a bit. A festering has been opened and the airing out and cleaning up has begun. I am grateful for that. It is healthy. Hard as it is — it is something that will need to be faced eventually. I choose to lean in to the hard stuff; at least I think…

Post Haste

The title just reminded me of my mother; she used to tell us children to do something, that she wanted done, “post hast”.  I miss both of my parents very much. On with the post.  Today I am somewhere out on the Pacific Ocean between California and the Hawaiian Islands.  I do not have access…

Day 1

Today is the first day of the first start of the Transpac sailboat race; this is the start of my adventure with my crew of the Imagine Too.  I am figuring that it will take us fourteen to sixteen days to cross the Pacific Ocean from Point Fermin to the Light House Point at Diamond…

Three Little Birds

I have known my blessings from day one. The moment I opened a new chapter in my book of Life called Fatherhood I knew i had been gifted a beautiful reason for living. It was a storyline I knew I wanted before I even was given the means to see it realized. Of course, the…

Happily

Things change quickly in this life. This week my work schedule has shifted; what I thought it was, it wasn’t. I have not seen my partner for a week and I was only going to see her one day this week. Then the work schedule changed and she had to change her schedule to accompany…

You Never Know

I am grateful that things changed, and a family friend is joining us on Mt. Tam this weekend. I am grateful for the wonderful company & dinner I had this evening. I am grateful for the community I share in on the RJTF.

Sunday

This past Sunday was a perfect day for so many reasons.  It was so good that I called my brother in the morning just to let him know that it was a great day. I am grateful that there are more Sundays in my life than Mondays.
