16.9 miles of hiking from Bognor Regis to Goring by Sea along the English Coastline. I am a time Millionaire with no future, but what an awesome gift- that's why they call it The Present. You can get anywhere from here as long as you are HERE, which is what there is and all there is. I was an early adaptor, embracing tech and the ipod in all its iterations...and here is an analogy-we spend a lot of time in fast forward worrying about the future, and in rewind cogitating on the past, but we rarely hit *PLAY and live in the present. As I approached today's habit, a 17 mile trek along the English Channel coastline, i am reminded of John Muir,  "Father of the America's National Parks",  who said make sure some of the roads you go down are dirt, well in England you can add MUD, made sure of that. The 3 P's Practice Practice Practice  Practicing mindfulness. What? Yep.  Mindfulness can actually strengthen our muscle of attention and help us make bet...

Fear is for folks who don’t get out much Instant Gratification Takes To Long. It took me 20 years to become an overnight success After spending 8 months a year for the last 10 years living out of a suitcase, it is easy to reflect on the value of thoughtful travel. I call it "Taking Yourself With You". There is no such thing as work-life-vacation balance. Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life. One rarely falls in love with people without being equally attracted to what is interestingly wrong with them. Travel, at its best is creative destruction. In the wisdom of the moment,the power of a new language, food and culture and people are not problems to be solved but mysteries to be lived. The whole exercise has to be one of reconciliation.Lowering, removing or shattering the walls of misunderstanding which unduly separate we human beings, one from another. It's not so much about being understood as understanding. A lot of times, it's not you it...

Don't Stop Believin' “You should  write a book”  I rather  shoot a movie, with Sequels.  A  Show rather than Tell-All. How can I compose a story big enough, deep enough and broad enough to encompass the reality of my l if e? When I’m at sea, immersed in action, I am the protagonist, You can't create experiences like this, you undergo them. The power of narrative comes forth  when I am engaged in the telling.(or selling) of these accounts. Michelangelo Effect  There are 3 versions, First, the edited “inside version”,  Secondly, The story I tell the world, and Thirdly, my created self- or RL Real Life (story). Depending on my audience, my motive, or my mood at any given time. . . The countless possible versions of (my story) can vary widely. Bucket Listed “Whoever authors your story authorizes your actions.” When we tell our own story—and write our own autobiography, we truly begin to live more consci...

One day my life will flash before my eyes. I am making sure it’s worth watching. My life hasn't gotten better by chance; it’s gotten better by change. By changing nothing, nothing changes. When in doubt, I always have chosen change. All these changes, however, were preceded by chaos, and the bridges I burned, have lit the way.Yet,  at what point is choice--the watermark  of individual freedom and self-determination that we so cherish--becomes a point of diminishing returns, a "problem" instead of a solution---That is the paradox of choice.  There is no YES, in yesterday, and when you are sailing, you are what you are right there and then.  My  bizarre travel plans have been dancing lessons from God. As soon as anyone starts telling me to be  realistic , I cross that person off my  invitation list. We are still friendly but no longer friends because they don’t get  IT that if you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too ...
