Spontaneous Adventure
So about a year ago I booked and then canceled a flight, giving me a $250 voucher that expires in a year.
I randomly thought about it today so I called Delta to see when it expires. As it turns out, it expires this Sunday.
After checking airfare specials for this weekend, I noticed there’s round trip LAX to JFK for exactly that amount. I’ve never been to NYC and have always wanted...

Calm & Collected
I’m at peace with myself. I’m taking control and taking action. Until now, this hasn’t been the case. I’ve been living to meet expectations and wishes that others have for me.
Six months ago I decided to take drastic action and put a plan into motion that will culminate in about two weeks. As this finish line approaches, I realize it’s actually a starting line....

A Psalm of Life
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, — act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God...

Song of the Open Road
From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines,
Going where I list, my own master total and absolute,
listening to others, considering well what they say,
pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating,
Gently, but with undeniable will divesting myself of the holds that would hold me
Walt Whitman
