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 …
Motivation
Advice: DO NOT GIVE UP
Let me tell you something you already know. No matter what, do not give up. Fight. Relax. Flow. Change. Grow. Oh – and don’t worry. That’s everything I know. It’s not an all or nothing. Stop being so dramatic. Keep going. Right now we’re deep in the middle of a two month road trip. I know it looks easy – …
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. Effortlessly going about it’s ridiculous, funny, and amazing existence. And …
Own Your Life
Photo Credit: Melissa Maples You have this life, right? And you have all these things you want to do and a million things stopping you. But most of those things stopping you are excuses, illusions, or obstacles you can work around and just haven’t yet. Seriously. There are few things that will actually, truly stop you from doing what you …
Make More Time to Live Your Life (How to)
How do you make more time to go out and live your life? Step One: Stop reading every how-to list on the internet. j/k (kind of not.) The topic posted above is wrong. The question is wrong, and bad questions generally lead to bad answers. A better question to ask is ‘What would I do if I had enough time to do …
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 …
What Has Changed for Me?
Febuary 27, 2015 was the last day I had a permanent residence. In that time, I’ve been in North GA, traveled around Turkey, and I’m now on a small organic farm in North Carolina, in the midst of the Nantahala Forest. It’s beautiful. All of it. I’m sitting on a covered porch right now listening to a chorus of… something. …
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 Change Everything?
Maybe you start with a ‘what if’ question. What if you sold all your stuff? What if you could live anywhere? What if instead of renting one house for 12 months, you rented a different house in a different city, every month? Then it quickly turns to WHY? I asked myself the same questions. Why change everything? Everything’s going so …
