twenty-fourteen





Every year - we say it.... THIS YEAR WILL BE THE YEAR. This will be the year I get on that bike, the year I lose that weight, the year I find that gal/fella, the year I start LIVING. And every year, for most, we don't do anything. I mean, don't get me wrong. I am right there too. The first week (or two) are the determined, motivated and STRONG weeks. WE CAN DO THIS. And then the daily grind, the demands and the cold (especially) - takes hold and we go back. And by September, we say " Next year... next year I will live..."

THIS IS MY CHALLENGE. Make it. Make it more than those 2 weeks. Make it more - Make this a change for the better. For your LIFE. For the past couple of weeks, I have been seeing signs in my life that I need to make a change. I have lost the adventure - the chase of this life. I am living, but not as much as I can be. We got one life, and I don't want to look back and say... I saw a lot of great movies on Netflix, I had a really clean house, I learned to make soup?

COME ON. So my challenge for myself, and Join if you like, is to just LIVE BIGGER. As big as I can with the little money I have. Say YES and do things. 

So here I go. Day one. Let's see the life I can live.

river wild.

This photo is the background of my computer at work. It reminds me to focus on not getting caught up in the craziness of the week. That this in-grained desire for something bigger is normal. That we were not made for this world, but while we are here we must not miss the good parts.  River Wild.  There is a peace in the woods, in the dark of the trees. In the rain and under the branches. I hear whispers of wind and cheers of wildlife. I hear Hillsong music and the light rain covering the deep. The streams a-flowin and the rush of the wide-open scapes. OPEN HEAVEN - RIVER WILD.  This world today has been so rearranged by MAN that we sometimes can't recognize it for what is was in the pure state of which it was created.  So I am reminded, reminded to take care. To leave no damaging mark but to kiss the earth gently - To pray, listen and speak less.  “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the ...

heart of life

one photo from the Portland adventure weekend. Self discovery, letting go, finding creativity again and learning about life. With the best of people. A weekend of wonder - simple, yet just what I needed. Full.
