“Sometimes you just need an adventure to cleanse the bitter taste of your life from your soul.”

Life is such an epic adventure. I think the biggest soul lesson I can take away from the past couple years is that anything that takes away from my souls essence does not belong in my life. That in solitude I am able to meet myself and if others do not enhance the peace and joy my solitude gives me, I would just assume remain in the quiet.

Naturally, I have such a zest for life, for authentic experiences, for adventure in every day life. An energy that loves to create change and make things beautiful for the world around me. I love to learn the how and the why… to improve systems and processes… to connect others and weave intricate details of the world around me together.

I watched the light die inside of me. I watched my vision waiver. And ultimately it was by my own hand- trying to fit in spaces I don’t belong, to be and do what others wanted of me and to seek validation by drinking from poisoned cups disguised as love. Punishing myself for not being enough or being too much to the point of depravity.

It was more than a little earth shattering to realize that I, who finds joy in watching the leaves blow in the wind and the moon grow full, lost my love for life and became subconsciously intent on destroying it and perhaps burning the world down around me in the process.

Yet in retrospect, I am not without gratitude for the experience because the depth of the work I have had to do to rekindle that flame was worth it. This fire cannot be put out. Shedding layers of useless skins long dead and emerging as something new… I am still learning this new version of me but I can absolutely say without question, that I love her.

Every day is an adventure again. Every moment, every quiet acheivement, every experience and interaction. The knowledge of the endless experiences that are well on their way make every pain, challenge and agony worthwhile. The human experience is most certainly the most challenging adventure but also the most epic yet.

I will always go where the wind blows and let myself be led by something much bigger than me. Never again will I deviate from that deep internal guidance and I say that with confidence. I will keep writing, creating, dreaming and dancing through life with a song on my lips and a smile on my face. Nobody can ever take that away from me again.

Wood and Iron really is the best combination.  Throw in a little stonework and you have a little piece of paradise!

No idea who the craftsmen were, but you can see that they took pride in their work.  And lets not forget the wonderful customer who demanded quality rather than quantity, bringing art to life all around them.

The darker the chocolate the more room there is for cocoa solids & less sugar 🍫. . Cocoa contains compounds such as flavonoids, which can have a anti-inflammatory benefit on the human body. They also aid in the production of nitric oxide. Consuming 25g 2-3 times a week has shown health benefits such as: - Improving blood pressure. - Reduced free radical damage of LDL. - Improved insulin sensitivity. . The cocoa plant actually uses flavonoids to help the beans to grow and aids in the defence against plagues that can damage the 🌱. .

Many years ago, my brother gave me my first cordless drill as a Christmas gift.  The whole family thought it was an awesome innovation and I used it all the time.  It was just so handy!

Imagine my dismay, then, when years later the batteries just stopped holding a charge.  Not long after that, the batteries wouldn’t take a charge at all.  Years after I got it, I finally had to throw the gift away because the manufacturer no longer supported that model and the second-hand batteries I had bought weren’t working properly.  

I could tell you were every nick and ding in the body had come from.  I had stories, memories, in that drill.  It was a gift from a dear brother, something that should have lasted me until my last breath.  But, no.  It became landfill material simply because the batteries died and the manufacturer decided to re-design how their newer batteries clipped into their tools. 

Compare that to my latest purchase - a 70′s-era die grinder.  All-metal body, with easily accessed brushes, and a nice long electrical cord to plug in.  Not the handiest thing in the world, but it looks good and functions perfectly even though it’s at least thirty-five years old.  When it has a problem, I can disassemble the whole thing, repair the entire mechanism, and have it back up and running before the day’s out.

Of the two tools, which do you think is better for the environment and for our culture?

As a blacksmith, my work revolves around the central idea that iron abides.  I make things that are solid, that will last a thousand years.  There’s a spirit of peace about the work because you know that it will endure.  If you take care of it, your grandchildren will be able to enjoy it just as much as you do.  As nice as the ironwork is, it’s the memories they evoke which makes them a real value.
