I just wanted to share a bit of my life story and really a major lesson I feel like I’ve learned. I’ve learned so much from other people’s stories, and this was calling for me to put it out there. I tried not to go on many detours, but it took a bit longer than expected. The quick version is – I was hurt, I went off on my own and became all about myself, I had a breakdown and let out all of that pain, and now I’m in a beautiful New World, back where I started, but a totally different person. I hope everyone’s good. Sending my love always.💪❤️🌍

Rattlesnake aversion with Erick and Erin from Natural Solutions. They have been coming down and helping us for over 12 years. The dogs are first introduced to a baby muzzle Rattlesnake, then a snake skin for the scent, then the sound of a rattle inside of a fake rock, and finally, a muzzled adult Rattlesnake. They are shocked each time they’re trying to understand or investigate. They try to make it just enough of a shock that it actually gets respect, but doesn’t overdo it. It creates a powerful association. That’s almost subconscious. I’d much prefer they get that association in this safe way versus an actual bite.

Just a few seconds before this, Piper was giving a bit of a growl to Randy, the German Shepherd, to tell him to slow down. He took it the wrong way and started to bark a bit. That’s a perfect moment for me to step in. I learned this indirect dominance idea, along with other important fundamental ideas from Brandon Fouche The Fouche Way. They gave me a for how to work with lots of different moments so the dogs know that they are being watched out for and someone is in control. I hope everyone’s good. Sending my love always.❤️💪🌍

I just wanted to share a glimpse to our lives. I got to married my favorite person on Sunday, May 31, which coincidentally happened to be a blue moon. Such a great weekend, I got to see my closest friends, and I don’t drink, but went the Rosewood Miramar Hotel on Saturday for drinks and just the scene Saturday afternoon before the wedding, so beautiful. I have known for quite a while that I never wanted to part from Elena. I heard once the following quote, and I never forgot it: “If you ever want to know how you feel about someone, try saying goodbye.” I knew I never wanted to say goodbye, and I’m so glad I won’t have to. My life has blown up in every way since being with Elena, my heart has opened, I’m a more balanced and loving person, and pretty much every other measurement of my life has improved. Elena, I love you, and I can only imagine how many more parts and chapters this book will have, but I fully intend to keep my commitment to living out the rest of our lives together, and having quite the memories at the end of it. 7 years ago I was basically having a midlife crisis, alone, and not at all where I wanted to be in so many areas of my life. I can honestly say I gave, and continue to give, my absolute best toward a dream life, with no understanding of how it would come to be, and I opened my heart to God, and God has slowly and serendipitously sent the right people, events, and things into my life. We truly want to be a couple that emanates light out into the world and does good work, with egos aside and God at the steering wheel. On an additional note, Elena ended up being sick to her stomach during and following the ceremony, which turned out to be appendicitis and resulted in her going to the hospital that same night and having surgery early the next morning. I’m just grateful we live in a day and age where it’s a 30 minute surgery, and not a death sentence. A very memorable wedding. I truly appreciate all of the love and support, it means so much to us. Sending our love always 💪❤️🌎🫂📈👼

I just wanted to share some information about what has helped me so much. I used to see happy people able to be present and enjoy life and relationships, and I would just think to myself that that wasn’t for me and honestly wonder how anyone couls enjoy that. Like I was trapped in a mental prison where that was just off-limits to me. Happy lives were for other people, not for myself. I distinctly remember having a dream in about 2017 that was one of the most intense dreams I’ve ever had where I felt like I was electrocuted, and I woke up with a strong message that I keep trying to be bigger and stronger and push out and aim up, but the life I really wanted, the pathway to it was at the very bottom of the lake, through a tunnel at the bottom of the deepest darkest part. Something like that. That was very scary to me. The next 5–7 years I spent trying to face all the darkness I had within myself and face everything that I never had. I see so many people doing that these days online, and taking that spiritual journey, and it’s inspiring to me. David Goggins, Wim Hoff, were some of the first and most intense pioneers among others. It’s a very scary place and you can almost pass away and all that’s left is the core of you, and letting a big chunk of who you thought you were die is very scary because you feel like it’s you that is dying. I truly feel God walks with you and those moments, and the version of you that comes out is the version that you were looking for the entire time. And now you can be one of those happy people. I think there’s real life changes you need to make as well, but those become clear once you start on that journey. I just wanted to share my experience. Sending my love always, and I’m going to try to be one of those people who helps others out and never forgets about the darkness, and I want to have that be a part of my experience in life forever so I stay grounded always. Much love always.💪🌟🌎
