It’s now 2016. I haven’t blogged here in a while – partly because we changed everything. Again. We moved back to Atlanta a few months ago and resumed life in the city. The biggest initial benefit was that our son could be inserted back into preschool, and learn with his friends once again. It was difficult to find adequate social …

Working Hard at Not Working Hard
The universe does not work hard. It does not struggle. It does not have limits. I’m trying to be like the universe. Effortlessly making miracles and bending reality – with no regard to what anyone f*cken thinks. Blowing up stars, creating life, being bigger and stranger than anything can fathom.

How to Prepare for our Cross Country RV Road Trip
We purchased an RV! A nearly 40 year old RV. A 1977 Dodge Rockwood to be exact. 20 Feet of Moving House. It gets a whopping 10 mpg (motor homes in general don’t get great mpg) – and I can’t really drive it any faster than 60 mph – but I still think it’s GREAT. Sure it’s just a little …

My Work is Seasonal and We Travel All the Time
What’s your job? Do you really need to be there 12 months of the year? Why? Maybe you don’t. When Leah first suggested that we sell our things and go all nomadic – I said no. Not because I didn’t want to do it, but because I didn’t think I could do it. We spent the last 5 years building …
Be Less Busy and Live More Life
We just arrived today at our latest cabin in the woods – deep in the North Carolina mountains. Other people are always making choices that affect you everyday – and mostly without your permission. They make decisions, rules, and schedules that decide how you will spend your time, for you. You know that’s not right. Of course we’re given the illusion of …
Why Your Family Should Travel
We recently returned from a trip to Turkey – and you know what? – it was 46 kinds of awesome. We’ll go over the trip in detail over the next few weeks with more photos and video, but in case you missed our posts while we were there, check out the photos over on Instagram, and of course – here’s …

How We’re Selling 97% of Everything We Own
This coming weekend we’re selling 97% of our belongings. 97% of all our STUFF. Friday, Saturday, Sunday – we’re opening our house for people to come in and buy whatever they see. See a couch? Buy it. See a dining room table? Buy it. You want the rest of my sandwich I’m eating at the moment? BUY IT. Oh – …
