My blog is here with the goal of self- reflection and inspiration. It's a place for me to write about my personal experiences and my life of seeking. I call this adventure. The journey into the unknown. Only one who seeks is open to the unlimited possibilities.

Into the Blue

Hello everyone! I've been relocating back to the US these past months and have been meaning to write this final blog to end the "my story" portion of the blog. Although all my stories are a reflection of past experiences this was a look back over everything once more, and it comes with my final message. The story ended up being 17 blog posts all of which can be accessed in their correct order in the "my story" category on the blog home page. I hope you enjoy. I hope a message

Jane’s advice

In Jane’s driveway I sat. Perplexed by the call from out of the blue from the man with the thick French accent. What location did they offer me? It wasn’t Florida like I had been lead to believe before. Wow! The caribbean! I mean that was definitely an upgrade in my mind. But, this company wasn’t giving me all the warm fuzzies. Maybe this whole thing was a joke. I was still salty. Perhaps, I should stay here. I’m finally getting settled after all the turmoil and looking forw

Two Hungry Wolves

So we are now post October 5th email. I’ve come to realize I’m merely on an imaginary list on a newbie employees desk and all my fears might be coming true. I wasn’t getting this job. I had nothing left. No money, no plans, very little possessions, and a zombie car. I was a loser. Look, I’m being awful hard on myself as I write this. But these are the actual thoughts that went through my head. The worst of them. Funny thing happens though when you start observing your thought

They’re All Gonna Laugh at You

So, no good news from club Med, which also means no get-me-off-the-hook news for friends and family. ”I don’t know“ and “they still haven’t let me know” we’re simply not good enough answers to keep anyone from asking the same questions 12 hours later. ”Well have you emailed them?” me- “uh yeah. I have.” ”well what do they say?” me- “They say that the season is still too far off to know when they will have an opening.” ”Well is there someone else you can contact?” me- “.....uh

Waiting, emails, & zombies.

If you’ve been following along with my story for awhile now you’ll notice now we have definitely made it to the other side of the climax. Which is exactly how I felt after that road trip. Like a twister had taken me for a ride, picked up me and my belongings and PLOP dropped me in a new land. I was Dorothy standing in silence getting ready to push open that dusty old farmhouse front door and gaze upon a new land and beautiful new yellow brick road to follow. Except, my yellow

Death of the Rolling Turd

After staying over in El Paso the next morning we stopped at an auto shop. John had thought maybe a chip or fuse had blown and that’s why the AC wasn’t working. If that was the case we could easily buy one and fix it. So we did. And waddya know? Fixed! Sweet AC flowing from the vents. Hope that the second days leg of the journey would be nothing like the first. We fueled up. Merging onto the interstate I punched the gas to prevent us from being crushed like a crumb by the 1

The Big Rolling Turd

Something I failed to mention in my past post, Quitting, was probably one of the things we often struggle with the most when making a change. Why was I so afraid to tell my boss I was leaving the company? I know I was scared to see my investment and all those years of building relationships disappear, but also knew I was taking those skills with me. So what was really the terrifying part? Sometimes, the people we work for, work with, or our family lead us to believe that we o

Seeds from the gods

“We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own…” That’s Alan Watts, a British-American philosopher, coming from a Youtube video playing in the background while I tidy up my room. A year or two before, a European guy I had gone on a few dates with had pulled up a Youtube video with an Alan Watts speech dubbed over it. At the time I thought it very inspiring. One of those “take notes” type of videos “because this pertains to
