26,000 days and counting

I recently watched the Quincy Jones documentary on Netflix and was in awe on how musically gifted he is. Music, arrangement, production, etc. are core fibers woven into his spirit.  I was shocked to see that he literary wrote music! As I watched this documentary I was inspired by his passion and his steadfast pursuit…

When was the last time you set a goal for yourself to achieve? It can be as simple as hanging that painting or mirror on the wall – or finishing the laundry by the end of the week. When was the last time you set an intention for yourself to live out?  This one is…

Second Win

These days my life feels like a rebirth. I’m learning all over again. Paying attention. Hoping to apply what I’ve learned to create better experiences. Be still. Stay the course.
