The Mystery of it All....

Lately, I have been drawn to the mystery of life, people....the mystery of it all.
It's so easy to want to know everything and anything,
to consistently be answering questions in life,
to have to understand......

But, I propose we yield ourselves to the endless, beautiful mystery of it all...
maybe instead of always needing an explanation to embrace something,
why not choose to embrace it even without an explanation?
Seems a little like "faith" to me.

Why not choose to not have to quite understand it all?
But, instead be surprised,
be amazed in every passing moment you live.

Instead of trying to figure every little thing out,
do yourself a favor and embrace mystery.
Embrace the adventure.
I believe that is how we were created to live.

Peace. Love. Joy.

Father's Day.

Oh, hey it's Father's Day....

therefore, this blog is dedicated to my wonderful Padre who has been so influential throughout my lifetime!

He has taught me what it means to forsake all and reach out to the one in front who is in need...

he has more grace for people than anyone I have ever met.

He will fight for someone to the death, literally.

He never gives up on people or the good that he sees within them.


I am so honored to have a Father that paved the way for me to go to Nicaragua at only 8 years old.

I will never be the same, and Nicaragua has become more and more apart of my heart through the years.

Every trip, every moment, falling more and more in love with the beautiful people there.


I love you Dad...thanks for being you! :)

Multi-Faceted.

Multi-Faceted.
It's something I've been pondering lately.
Why does our culture scream the opposite?
Why must we stay focused on one specific area in life?

I say embrace life...enjoy it, have fun with everything and anything.
Have your hands in all different areas.
Be a photographer and a doctor.
Be a musician and a writer.
Do it all.
Why not?
You were created so uniquely, with so many different talents and interests.
Don't allow culture to dwindle you down to one thing.

I think Mark Twain summed it up quite well when he said, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

I encourage you to do just that!
Enjoy life! Embrace every single minute of it through your passions and desires!

Peace. Love. Joy.
