weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

(+ plenty of dog adventures)

You see on our last walk on Christmas Eve, quite close to midnight, in the quiet park space that divides our apartment mega-complex, our quiet reflections wer...
It’s certainly a fitting jab at my ego. As I’m musing about storytelling via the archetypes of the Hero’s Journey, I’m obviously focusing a lot on my own personal narrative. Simultaneously, Vlad and I completed our most intense photoshoot to date, capturing a ton of images we need for upcoming ...
