365: Day 125 – “this changes everything”
I used to anxiously await Apple’s event when Steve Jobs was alive. He was a master of presentation and marketing. I was remembering something he said when introducing the iPhone: “this changes everything”. The iPhone introduced a large touchscreen that could be updated to include new functions.

365: Day 118 – Being yourself
I wrote the title of this blog earlier in the day as I was thinking how it’s so difficult for me to just be myself. I have gotten much more comfortable with being myself as I get older, but I think back to different settings in the past and I have almost invariably tried to… — read more

365: Day 117 – Sacred road
The smell of wet earth fills my lungs as I step out into the chilly summer morning here in the Russian River on the northern California coast. The mist has made the ground colors more vivid but everything else is muted in gray. During this particular walk, I am sixteen years old and walking alongside… — read more
