Abrazos de Dios.

  Hola, mundo. Parece que han pasado casi 5 años desde la última vez que escribí. Bueno, escribí así—Dios sabe que tengo suficientes canciones escritas como para hacer más giras mundiales que los Rolling Stones. Pero escrito en la forma de que, lo que salga de mi...

Hugs from God.

  Hello, world. It seems that it’s been almost 5 years since I’ve written. Well, written like this—God knows I have enough songs written to do more world tours than the Rolling Stones. But, written in the form of, whatever comes out of my heart, comes out onto...

Attraction.

Here’s a quick definition from this weekend on the Law of Attraction. You see something that you want. You know that you want it, you know it fits your being, you even call it “mine.” Even though it’s not yours. You wear that feeling...

96 Hz.

It’s so beautiful to see, that those that KNOW what is going on, all just KNOW that these are times of higher vibrations. Those that “know,” we’ve all probably heard it from one of our friends that also “know,” but we also just,...

Are All Things Miracles?

I was in the middle of a near weekly thought…When did I become aware that all beings, all things, are connected? I now know that this knowledge is built within us already. This is one of the many “secrets we knew all along.” In order to keep a Secret, I will...

Changes.

(Note: When I had the idea for writing this, it seemed like it would be an easy and short post. Halfway down, it started becoming harder and harder to talk about the more I wrote. This is the hardest post I’ve ever written, and I had to take many emotional breaks.) A...

The Magic Has Returned.

A couple months ago, I posted asking about where the magic has gone. Those moments when the stars seem to all align properly, the moment where you have a “perfectly imperfect” moment in your life. This photo of my tarnished camera is a memory of that. To this day, I...

Blogging

I am definitely going to start “blogging” more. Going through my Tumblr and all the things I wrote are very important to me, and, looking through the comments, apparently a lot of people too. Probably posting on YouTube too. Probably writing music....

Quarantine Thoughts.

When will these apocalyptic nightmares end? When will the real world nightmare end? When will I be able to go back to work? Will I be able to go back to work? Will the gym survive this? I miss everyone, I miss connection. My gym used to burst with love and warm...

Waves.

You can ride the waves of life as best as you can, and sometimes you will still fall off the surfboard and sink. But once you get back to shore, sometimes the tide washes up something spectacular on the beach that you would have never expected that wave to bring. Good...

Lost.

Have you ever felt like you were missing something in your life? Missing your purpose, missing your worth? Have you ever felt like you weren’t strong enough to carry on? Giving all you can, but it’s not enough? You try to find things that make you happy, you do the...

Tough Conversations.

God is having me make quite a few tough conversations recently. Some easier, some much harder. Mostly business related, some personal related. As much as Aerotek pulled me down to the depths of despair with depression, they definitely helped me grow professionally,...

The Magic.

Once upon a time, I fell asleep on the wrong subway at New York City, ended up on Coney Island, and walked alongside someone I am 100% sure was sent directly from God, because he, or it, knew that, and knew how, I was living my life incorrectly recently prior to us...

Open Your Mind.

You tell someone that eating only plants and fruits would reverse deforestation, reduce pollution, end world hunger, and completely minimize the world’s health crisis, and they respond with, “but meat tastes good,” and then you know, that humanity is...

Connected.

So I’ve tried the fruitarian diet several times. And every time, I end up feeling sick after a couple weeks. I think, unfortunately, at this time, I need to consume plants to survive, until I find out what vitamin or nutrient I am lacking by not eating plants....

Time Flies.

Facebook tells me that four years ago I was on the road trip that changed the course of my life. Four years ago I had time to travel and explore. Four years ago was the most freeing month of my life. Seems like yesterday I was waking up on top of the Grand Canyon, my...

The Mind is Stronger Than You Think.

Being a personal trainer has given me a new perspective on life, and here’s why.I had always had the perspective that you can do anything you put your mind to; my grandpa had instilled this within me as a young boy. And time after time, I think back to that when I go...

Spiritual Vibrations.

Have you ever been in a conversation with someone talking from their heart about an experience and you start seeing less of their human form and more of the spirit that is doing the talking? Almost as if you don’t see the body anymore, or it starts to not feel...

Big Small Talks.

Duan, an older gentleman that goes to my gym…we have such fantastic conversations. I love that man. He’s taught me so much. A workaholic like I am. Lived and learned through his mistakes, successes, and failures. There will probably be a longer blog post...

Balance Encourages Balance!

I talk about balance a lot. Heck, it is this gym’s entire philosophy to be balanced emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. But breaking it down even further into physical fitness—there are so many aspects of this. What makes physical fitness?I’m not...

You are anchorless.

Life can change in an instant. You’re getting to the end of the line, the end of your patience with the obstacles life keeps throwing at you, and someone throws a life jacket out into the stormy waters that you didn’t expect. It’s dark. You’re alone. It’s pouring down...

I Wanna Get Better.

I love finding little ways to improve. Things that you do that take time now, but will save you so much time later. Developing a helpful formula for excel. Creating my own check in system for the gym. Installing that key fob reader outside my door. Creating entries...

Message Received.

“Hey. I was just driving, and thinking, and I just had to tell you something. When you and Carrisa came to visit us in Portland, that one day you made us dinner… I just wanted you to know how much that meant to me. You don’t even know. The food you made us was so...

Thanks, Uber.

Throwback to a night of driving for Uber, to an accidental dead end wrong turn. Throwback to remembering that the most beautiful things are found when you’re not looking for...
