Hi everyone! I know I said that that 2013: A Year to Embrace Delicious Ambiguity was my last post before heading to Panama tomorrow, but I have exciting news! In continuing to pursue my dreams and what I really want to do, I've entered my first travel writing contest on Barrel Hopping! My...
I just finished a journal I began in August. At the time I was living in San Francisco, going through the motions. Job, apartment, and friends were all good, but it felt like something was missing. I took a “date with Jackie” day, which essentially means spending most of the day alone doing...
My favorite part of social media is the opportunity to meet new people and learn new things. It just so happens that in tonight's #NaNoWriMo Twitter feed, I met author, Brittany Severn, who invited anyone who would like to join her in live blogging for NaNoWriMo. The goal of live blogging is to...
When 2011 began, I made a list entitled "This is the Year." Rather than a collection of resolutions, this list encompassed many of my "I've always wanted to's..." When I finished creating it, I put the white piece of paper on my bulletin board, and it quickly disappeared amidst distracting pink...

I feel like a grown-up superhero with my canine sidekick, Sparky, a black lab/chow mix. Sparks' 'mom' is currently in Thailand, so I'm pet sitting the pup until she returns.

Welcome! Almost three years ago, I was asked a single question that changed my life,
“What would you do if you had 6 months to live?”
No one knows when our time will come, so why wait? We can enjoy life now. We can pursue our dreams. We can LIVE for the present while also planning for the future. My vision is to create a community of people who support and inspire each other in choosing meaningful and authentic lives. Together we can make a difference. Life is waiting.
Will you join me?
