mixed media – envelope / ink / photograph Drawn on the back of an envelope at a laundry mat. The only paper in reach when that frantic drawing feeling emerged. Doing laundry at home is convenient but I really love laundry mats. I don’t know if it’s the furniture from the 70′s that graces the majority of them or that clean fresh smell.

Is the same true with love? Do you need 10 years (maybe 15 or 20) of trial and error before you begin to have the faintest clue what it is to love and be loved? I’m going to go with a very emphatic YES for my own life and the observation of others lives and relationships. But without all those technical learning, trial and error, oopsy daisy what the fuck am I doing mistakes … well I just wouldn’t be the happy camper I am today. It’s all made me a more humble, grateful and loving person. Everyday of my life is filled with love now because I choose to love every part of it. I’m grateful when I receive love but I no longer expect it. I remember a little over a year ago the day when I knew I was unloved. A 12yr relationship had ended and I had ended an accidental 2 month marriage (that would be the oopsy daisy wtf moment of the year). I had always been fine on my own adventures but I also had always known there was a someone somewhere loving me. Being unloved was a hard pill to swallow. I now had sole responsibility to love and take care of myself and no longer had any excuses not to do exactly what I wanted to do. No one to blame for my life not looking and feeling exactly how I dreamed except me. Over the past year I’ve had many moments, err mistakes, when my life has fallen into a complete cliche. What do you do in these lifetime movie moments? Laugh, it’s life, it’s rediculous, you’re living it! Maybe cry too because that’s part of it … then learn and get the fuck out and on to the next chapter as soon as possible. Choose to be happy and follow your own heart and you’ll never regret any of your decisions, even the seemingly crazy ones. Over the past year I have also had some of the very best moments of my life. I wouldn’t trade any of it, I wouldn’t do any of it differently. My dear friend Jordan put a post up on HighExistense.com a couple of months ago (the day before my 30th birthday) that has helped catapult me into a very lovely life flow. Take me as a test subject and I do testify if you are choosing love every day … every decision … consciously making choices based on love … AMAZING shit happens! Seriously amazing brilliant dreamy lovely inspiring wonderful fucking phenomenal stuff. Thirty is already the very best year of my life.

This little gem was a few miles from the house I lived in last December and January in Candler, NC. On a very stressed out day with my bank account quickly depleting I went for a drive up in the mountains on Pisgah Hwy to the Blue Ridge Pkwy. On the way back down I noticed the pull off to this park that didn’t look like much been since it was so close to the house I thought I would take a quick looksy. It wasn’t until I was out of the car and near the shelter that I started noticing the rocks. I walked further and with each step saw more and more rock piles. You can’t help but smile when you see them. It’s art in nature built over many years by many individuals. You also can’t help but add to it or pick up and rebuild a fallen pile. It’s a special little place and if your headed up Pisgah Hwy anyways, pull off for a few minutes and check it out and play with some rocks.

Note: I do not kayak. Most of these pictures were taken while hiking into the Green River Narrows trail which has become one of my favorites. The round trip hike takes around 2hrs and there’s a good little section to get down into the gorge that’s as close to 90 degrees as you’re gonna get without needing some ropes and harnesses attached. The first 30 minutes hiking back out will make you swear you’ll never do it again … but, it’s magical and gorgeous down there. Completely worth it.

Hooker Falls & Cascade Lake The DuPont State Forest is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains between Hendersonville and Brevard, North Carolina. Its 10,400 acres of forest feature four major waterfalls on the Little River and several on the Grassy Creek. The original 7600 acre forest was established in 1996 through a generous bargain sale from the DuPont Corporation. In 2000, the Forest was expanded by two property additions, including the spectacular 2200 acre tract in the center of the Forest containing High Falls, Triple Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls
High Falls The original property is presently open to hunting, fishing, hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking (see maps, trail guide and user policies ).

They say with knowledge and career you need 10 years under your belt of “technical learning” before you know what you’re doing. Ten years before you can fly free and really invent, innovate and find that golden groove.
