Happy Surfing :)

Today I am celebrating the anniversary of the first day I ever went surfing.  Such a defining moment for my life path this event manifested, that I feel it is worth celebrating every year, hopefully by catching some fun waves.  I owe a huge thank you to my Dad and my cousin Mark, who both took me on my first day surfing and gave me countless rides thereafter to continue my all-consuming addiction, keeping the stoke and setting me up for a beautifully unexpected life course.  So many amazing lessons surfing has taught me over the course of my life that I am so grateful for experiencing, I am the person I am today because of all that the ocean and nature has taught me.  On Valentine's Day it is a common tradition to express gratitude and affection to those that have touched us deeply, and with that in mind I will give thanks for how blessed I am to have been able to live this incredible life!  I LOVE SURFING!

Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice is here, the shortest day of the year, and now the Sun begins its journey north, increasing the amount of light in every day for the next six months, filling us up with unlimited energy and inspiration.  Choose your goals, set your intention, and tap into the omnipresent energy of the universe to manifest your dreams!  Happy Solstice everyone!

Happy Halloween

Another really fun Halloween up north in Santa Cruz with my friends.  Spent the first part of the evening handing out some treats to the kids in the neighborhood, then over to my friend Omar's house for a nice party, and then downtown to check out the unmatched scene of crazy and original costumes that Santa Cruz provides every Halloween.  Great times with great friends!

Pumpkin Patch

Took a trip up north of town to the pumpkin patch off Coast Highway 1 to pick out pumpkins for our jack-o-lanterns.  Great way to get into the Halloween spirit searching around in the pumpkin patch for the hero pumpkin to carve up and make into an epic jack-o-lantern for welcoming trick or treaters and scaring away bad spirits.  We each found a nice pumpkin that fit what we were looking for to make the style of carving we envisioned, and had a lot of fun prepping them up for display on the front steps.  Happy Halloween!
