          I’ve disappeared from real life, and I’m hidden in a cabin in Northwestern Minnesota right now.  No, I’m not evading people I owe money to, or women whom claim I’m a crook for selling them a dream.  I’m here because I have a ton of writing work to do – butRead more

This story proves three powerful steps work when making new friends. It is about how I met one of my best friends, and how this website came to be.  Here are the steps I recommend: Be honest.  Be vulnerable.  If they don’t like you after you do those two steps, you weren’t meant to be friends, andRead more

            Last night I sat in our cabin boathouse strumming a guitar in my hands.  It was getting close to midnight and there was a storm brewing across the lake.  The lightning was crackling and flashing in the sky.  My heart beat faster the closer the storm got and I couldRead more

          Last night I sat in this library and looked around.  Books were everywhere.  The height of the racks felt like skyscrapers and rows felt like I was in a city built on information, and there was so much to pick up and learn.  I felt so small compared to this metropolis-sizedRead more

  I have a dream and I’m not giving up no matter what stands in my way.  I see a vision, and I’m going to keep pounding at all the barriers holding me back until my light blasts through and shines to the other side!             I am committed to this.  I am going to makeRead more

The path is dark with just a few sparks before it gets bright.               I have a dream and I’m not giving up no matter what stands in my way.  I see a vision, and I’m going to keep pounding at all the barriers holding me back until myRead more

I felt strange reading an article tonight.  It said that the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which blazed a trail through America in 1804-1806, was “America’s most famous and important exploration.” That floored me.
