Week one on the trail to Patagonia
I am still looking for the right words to “title” this post. In fact, I haven’t figured out a good name for this particular adventure. My original plan was to ride my bicycle from my hometown of Milwaukee, WI to Patagonia located at the southern tip of Argentina. This would have included biking and camping […]
Superfoods from Around the World
I find myself skeptical of people who write books or articles on “Superfoods”. Often times these “authors” also, conveniently, own natural food distribution companies that sell these same written about nutrient sources. It’s hard to avoid the advertising campaigns, magazine headlines and super market labels stating “Number One Superfood Everyone Should Eat” or “Eat This […]
Lisbon Portugal

THE BIOLOGY OF FEAR THE PROBABILITY OF BEING ALIVE
Why the hell haven’t you posted in a year? One year ago I wrote a blog post that was supposed to be the beginning of an ongoing narration where I checked items off of my life-quest list as well as my journey as a writer and entrepreneur. I detailed out 87 things that I would […]
THE HAPPINESS OF PURSUIT
“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 way from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” –Mark Twain Welcome to my Life Quest List or better known: […]
