I am going to use this platform for my soap box tonight… I’ve been hearing for years people gripping about the lack of rain; how are state is in trouble and we need rain badly. Well, we got a lot of it—and now I’m listening to a bunch of people complain about the lack of…

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…

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…

I am grateful to be a member of a family that is comfortable asking for prayers of support… And I am grateful for the opportunity to go to a concert with Bodhi. And I am grateful for…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.
