Press one for happy birthday
It is not for lack of content I have taken some time from writing this blog. If anything, there is an exceeding amount of content; so much so, it is challenging to know where to begin. I have had the good fortune of two visits to Manhattan in the past six months. There are so … Continue reading
Make a life you love
I’ve taken about ten steps back from social media, recently, with the thought of making available more time to paint. Two and a half years ago, I went back to school for my real estate license.

There is the common story of a man who did not like the idea of growing up … Continue reading
It’s Like Magic
It was five years ago, nearly to the date, that I found myself climbing a hill outside of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, following my Golden Retriever, Mila. Enjoying the golden grasses and beautiful rock formations, not to mention the infamous big sky, the area has to offer. We had just been for pizza in the downtown … Continue reading
The Adventure is Yours
Sometimes life moves fast. Slow down. Slow down, if you can. Doesn’t seem to always be a choice, but maybe it is. Maybe it is in our control what we say yes to.
