Road trip

I realized the other day that basically we are all on this road trip.  A road trip through our life and the life of those who matter to us.  Like all road trips there are smooth highways, rough backroads, detours, breakdowns, running out of gas moments, new sights, old friends, new friends to be, some […]

Motorcycles and the ride

It has been a while. I hadn’t taken a motorcycle out on the North Carolina back roads in quite a while. The Yamaha was a new ride for me and the 4 of us headed out from Franklin through parts of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Twists, switchbacks, straight always and a few drops […]

Wander and wonder

Wander and wonder.  It seems that when you break out of the routine of everyday everyday and wander it permits you to wonder outside the norm and recapture who you are and the journey you are on. The routine has a way of freezing you and the issues in place …no matter how creative you […]

How We Connect

Travel. It helps us connect with that part of us that gets soggy by the daily routine. The soggy part. All weighed down by stuff, meetings, faux important moments until you break away. You sit in an ancient ruin and touch the paintings from 3,000 years ago. You wander through fairy chimneys in Rose Valley, […]

Living a Life that Counts

How to explain any of it. How to process any of it. Maybe just describing it is the starting point. Istanbul. The history. The authentic feel. The busy streets. The timelessness. The agelessness. We have been here five days now. From Topkapi Palace to the Blue Mosque to the Grand Bizaar to the corner restaurants […]
