2010 has been a huge year of change and I need to remind myself to give myself time to adjust, heal and learn the fine art of self care. In 2010, I shuttered my business, got divorced, traded my anti-depressants for a BMW motorcycle and took my life on the road. Yea, I'd say ...

Self Care Leads To Healing and Awakening Our Soul Self
Getting to the point of making a decision to stay another day in Great Falls or go onto Helena was a bit of a challenge. Especially when I came across a Canadian couple on Harleys loading up to ride back to Calgary. They'd been on the road since mid July. We talked about the wind, ...
Anticipation Is Precursor To Dream Realization
Today was huge day for me. I realized a dream and drove my new BMW bike for the first time! Since I was 16 and drove my first motorcycle, a Suzuki 80cc, I've dreamed of owning a brand new motorcycle. It wasn't until late 2009 did ...
Perspective Is Everything: Like the Night Before Christmas
Well it's just three days till I get my BMW K1300GT and every time I see a motorcycle loaded for travel, my heart cries out "Motorcycle!" like it will suddenly appear by saying that! I am like a kid the night before Christmas except I have three more days to wait. Hold on, I am going ...

Lightening Lifestyle Load

Especially when leaders like Obama are quoted saying something along the lines of ...

Why The [North] American Dream Must To Change
What happens when personal greed and government policy collide? The sub-prime mortgage crisis! I realize that what I am suggesting sounds like heresy - this is going to be hard to hear - but that doesn't change the truth - group think fed the sub-prime monster.
