One of the coolest rituals I developed back in 2015 was a year in review - writing down and taking account of all the events of the year, looking back over them and the things that I learned. I was ecstatic to get the opportunity to do that again for 2016 when we had the … Continue reading The Value of Taking an Inventory

Touching your Vision
For 12+ years, I had the idea and vision in the back of my mind to travel the world.

A few months ago, when I moved, by default I performed a type of inventory – a subconscious-turned-intentional assessment of all the things I have and their usefulness. Having about 85% of my belongings in a storage locker for 3 months changed my perspective on what I really needed, and what I didn't. Upon clearing … Continue reading Unlearned
