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…

Promising Starts

I am grateful for the offer received early this morning to consult with a podcast coach… and for the promising business meeting Marc and I had. Seems we are moving more into a professional stance with Moped Outlaws. I certainly am grateful for what we’ve done, and what we will be doing. It is a…

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…

Never old; never bored

I am grateful for quite a bit… this first post of mine in the year 2023. I had a fabulous recording of what shall be the opening episode for season ten of LWG. And season three opener of Moped Outlaws went live today—another podcast I am grateful to be a part of. I had a…

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…

I woke up

It is another day after the holiday; the majority of our country is experiencing a major winter storm.  There are a lot of flights delayed and canceled, some people have died because of the storm.  It is a little cloudy where I live, but the sun is up and I am alive.  It is a…

Some Down Time

As many close to me can attest to, often when I refer to down time, I am doing a deep dive into the human shadow. Today, however, I am grateful for the RnR I enjoyed… Even doing a load of my laundry was a pleasure. All good in the neighborhood.  

It’s my birthday!

And so I am grateful for another year in my life.  I have had a great day so far and a wonderful birthday week.  I am grateful for that as well.  I look forward to tomorrow and to this next year.

So blessed!

Today I am writing this from my room in Cabo San Lucas; yes I am blessed.  I am so grateful that Grace arranged this trip for us.  It is a trip of relaxation and recharging; this is what we are doing.  Okay, there is some work being done, but very little.  We are meeting new…

A Car, Blue Highway, A Friend, and a Drink

I am grateful for the soul I feel I know it’s real It keeps me smiling as the nights grow longer Helps me grow stronger In the truth Sometimes… It seems It’s all I got And when I’m not Beatin’ myself senseless I confess I see the Light And I’m alright ‘Cause having my soul…

Near the End

Today I took my last written final for my Professional Mariner Activities degree; Saturday I have a class but no test.  I am so grateful for all of the things that I have learned in the program at Orange Coast College; I am grateful for the people, (both instructors and students) that I have met. …
