Music on a Saturday night, celebrating all that is life.

Jackson, WY. Beautiful weekend getting some big nature in and celebrating a birthday.

As always a wonderful time with this babe and good friends.

I’m an uncle! Congrats to and making a rad little human.

Super fun meeting lil Will and having an early thanksgiving with the fam.

We took a road trip for our socially distanced holidays. Woke up to views like this, had jet boiled coffee in cold mountain air without screens before hiking 5-10 miles each day, and slept in our Tepui in 30° weather. Feeling recharged!

This shot was after night in the Organ Mountains in southern New Mexico.

I haven’t shared anything about what’s happening in our country this week because I felt other people have a better voice and the experiences that need to be heard.
_
So I listened. The things I heard made me sad. Frustrated. Angry. And I understand that I can never understand how people of color have felt and continue to feel.
_
And today I acted. We walked the Golden Gate Bridge with the peaceful protest for equality and change to fix the systems that are broken.
_
It was surreal to see traffic slow in the distance and people take advantage of the opportunity to flood into the traffic lanes. To witness people act for what is right. I can only hope that those in power act with some semblance of the same conviction to create the change we need.
_
It is just one action in one day, but I hope we all continue with these small actions to create the change we need. Let’s be 1%, or even a fraction of a percent, better each day.

Creating space for yourself.
_
It’s especially tough right now to create space for yourself. A lot of people are WFH (work from home) for the foreseeable future.
_
WFH has it’s own challenges...no separate work and personal space, family or roommates on top of you all day.
_
So it’s important to create some space for you.
_
I’ve been doing a 20-30min breathwork and meditation break at lunch time every day and it’s been working wonders.
_
Are you creating space for yourself every day? If so, whatcha doing? If not...what’s your biggest challenge?

Happy Mother’s Day to this amazing woman 😊.
_
I’m incredibly grateful for all that time and energy spent raising and homeschooling , , and I.
_
Always encouraging me to take the path that was right for me, regardless of what others may think.
_
And always sharing the value of adventure and experience. It’s something I value so much.
_
Thanks for everything Mom, I love you!

Work-life Balance? No such thing. Just decisions, and the consequences of those decisions.
_
I’m happy with mine, especially on this awesome Cinco de Mayo meets Taco Tuesday.

The Great Pause 🤔
My hope is everyone comes out of this living life in a new way.
_
A proactive, mindful, grateful way.
_
This Great Pause is a forced reset. An opportunity to evaluate how we’ve been spending our time, and to say no to the things that don’t align with our core values.
_
Time is too fleeting to be spent doing things we don’t enjoy, trying to impress people that we don’t even know, while secretly wishing for a life that’s possible “if only”...
_
The time is now. Embrace all the moments that are happening before our eyes, good, bad, and otherwise.

Spending quality time 👌🏼. Right now it’s tough to tear ourselves away from screens. We’re feeling cooped up truly socially distant.
_
But you can still make space for yourself. For connecting with people. For getting outside and getting exercise, sunlight, and fresh air.
_
and I are making it a consistent priority to unplug and get outside so we can decompress and connect more with each other. What better way to spend an evening that playing board games outside with a view like this?
_
Let me know what you’re doing to unplug and recharge.
