How My 30th Birthday Plans Got Effed Up & I Randomly Ended Up at a Winery – Part II of II

With my birthday plans suddenly canceled, I realized that this was a perfect opportunity to get away from the city and drive to a winery in the country and meet up with my buddy.

How My 30th Birthday Plans Got Effed Up & I Randomly Ended Up at a Winery – Part I of II

I planned an amazing 30th birthday to go hiking with my friends, but I had to scraped that at the last second when I realized that I had tickets to see a ballet in a different city—tickets that I bought in the previous year and forgot about. I had 2 tickets but couldn’t find anybody to go with me, so I asked the people in the yoga community of this city if anyone was interesting in going with me. I had no idea that I was about to go with one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met in my life.

Adventures Surfing in L.A., Drinking Wine in Malibu, & Meditating on the Beach During a Beautiful Sunset – Part I

I’m going to tell you about one of the greatest trips of my life: Los Angeles, Fall 2017. My epic trip started off chaotic, like all trips do. The first plane I was supposed to catch out of Oklahoma City experienced a “parts malfunction” and was therefore inoperable, throwing off everyone’s schedule. Instead of freaking the fuck out like everyone else around me did, I stayed … Read More Adventures Surfing in L.A., Drinking Wine in Malibu, & Meditating on the Beach During a Beautiful Sunset – Part I

Spontaneously Going to Kansas City for the Weekend & Meeting a Kindred Spirit

Have you ever had one of those awfully, horribly, and stressful weeks at work that you just have to get away? Well, I have those often, as I’m sure you do, but this past week was by far the worst. I work in tech support and our customers are independent or compound pharmacies and for some reason everything that could go wrong with our customers’ … Read More Spontaneously Going to Kansas City for the Weekend & Meeting a Kindred Spirit
