Much needed Vitamin D

The rain is back and hasn't stopped since last night. I eagerly await my flight to San Diego and then Mexico tomorrow morning at 7:30am. The sun is a powerful energy. The world itself is a powerful being. As I sit at my favorite coffee shop in Portland, Barista, I am overwhelmed at the beauty in mother nature and things that currently exist/existed before man began creating. I've had some great conversations with my crew as of late. One of the last was about staying centered upon who we are amidst life's distractions and society's ideals. My buddy Nate and I align completely. We are adventurists and nature lovers. Nothing centers us more and or energizes us more than to get a nice sweat going as we take in the ever surrounding beauty of Mother Earth! This is done in mountain biking, snowboarding, running, shooting some hoops, playing tennis, golf, hiking, etc... I hope I can add kayaking to this list this summer. With all that, Simplifying life to what life is truly about is a difficult but vital must. This earth provides all the energy, optimism, life, joy, love, happiness, and excitement one could ever need. So next time you need a jump start or refreshment, rather than complaining and or trying to create something new, try opening up your eyes, heart, and mind to what is already present and be prepared to experience a feeling unlike any other! I eagerly await the sun, the ocean, and the commraderie of family and founds to give me a week that will re-center and rejuvenate my entire being!
