Move. Play. Go Outside

I’m so far behind on the Trust30 posts, it’s not even funny. I’m catching up though! 2 – 3 a day will keep the doctor away. Or was that apples? I never thought one little book could be so packed full of inspirational quotes, but Emerson has done it. Every time I read a new [...]

Too Scary to Write

Right, so just as I think I’m getting the hang of this self-trust, deep introspection, write from the heart thing, Mary Jaksch (how do you even pronounce that?) throws a curveball. Emerson says: “Always do what you are afraid to do.” What is ‘too scary’ to write about? Try doing it now. Wow. I thought [...]

Keep Crushing It

There will be an agreement in whatever variety of actions, so they be each honest and natural in their hour. – Ralph Waldo Emerson What would you say to the person you were five years ago? What will you say to the person you’ll be in five years? – Corbett Barr This is another prompt [...]

Sometimes Stopping is More Important Than Starting

Another prompt today from #Trust30. If yesterday’s from Chris Guillebeau got you excited about travel, Jonathan’s today will get you excited about life. Come Alive – Jonathan Mead Life wastes itself while we are preparing to live ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson It was too good of a quote to not write again. And to think [...]

Where Are You Travelling Next?

After finding Chris Guillebeau a few years by a random link talking about how he was travelling the world and visiting every country before he was 35, I’ve seen him do some incredible things. The latest of which pretty much blew my mind. The World Domination Summit went far above my expectations for the non-conforming [...]

Today and One Strong Belief

Today is another prompt from #Trust30. Check it out and sign up. If ‘the voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks,’ then it is more genuine to be present today than to recount yesterdays. How would you describe today using only one sentence? Tell today’s sentence to one other [...]

15 Minutes to Live

The Tale of 1.5 Missing Teeth

I skied a lot this past winter. It was more than I normally ski in 2 or three seasons and I loved every minute of it. It was one of the terms for myself if I got new ski gear. I had snowboarded up until this year and was making the leap back to skis [...]

Is Your Peace of Mind Worth $600?

What do you do when something doesn’t quite do the job any more? That computer isn’t quite fast enough to run those programs. That knife isn’t sharp enough to cut through all those thick pieces of food. That car is starting to cost you more than it’s worth. Upgrade it. My previous computer did the [...]

The Wondrous Cheese Slicer

I don’t think I knew how to spell wondrous before I wrote this post. Now I do. And… moving on. There are few things in my day that I use all the time and stuff look at them in wonder. Most of the things I see and use every day get boring pretty fast. They [...]
