Since the beginning of 2017, I have made “home” of at least a dozen international cities and had at least twice that many bedrooms or couches. A good portion of that time has been living from two suitcases. I've met a lot of people and forgotten a lot of names. I've made some lifelong friends. …
The B-Word
I don’t remember a time in my life that I didn’t feel a great sense of intensity. Maybe some people are just born with it or maybe it’s just a matter of perception where every decision is weighed with the gravity of the universe in its balance. I have been careless, yes, but even then …
Omega
Nearly three years ago I had a powerful experience that completely altered the direction of my life. In the practice of astral travel (something I had learned to do as a disassociation from my own troubling reality), I experienced something foreign to me and learned that it was the Holy Spirit of the Bible.

This weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to lead a “fitness experience” on behalf of Reebok at the Supergirl Surf Pro in Oceanside, California …
