My trip to Iceland #nofilters
I just got back from my dream trip to Iceland, and let me tell you, I had the most incredible time there with friends Randy and Rene.

Taking a Break from Mental Health
Today I thought I'd take a break from all those deep thoughts and write a little something more light-hearted and organic. As many of you already know, thinking and talking about mental health can be exhausting at times.
On Life and Happiness
Inspired by some deep and meaningful quotes from the movie "Before Sunset", I share some of my perspectives on them.
Sending some love to Millennials
I had a recent discussion/debate the other day with a couple of my fellow forty-something year old friends. They shared their opinion on the generation called Millennials...
