Living an authentic life

Most people don't discover what is most important in life until they're too old to do anything about it. They spend the best years of their lives pursuing things that will matter little in the end. Material objects and social media swallow our time and focus like nothing else. While the more basic pleasures which enrich us and sustain us the most are often over looked and taken for granted. So, with these thoughts in mind, I've decided to go on an epic adventure!

"Everybody is dying, but not everybody is living."

Be Great !

Out of all the people who tread through life working day in, and day out just to make rent, very few will be remembered. We all have it within us to be great, to do great things and to leave positive impressions. We were not put here to worry about money, to bash with politics, to fight over religion, or hate over the color of someone's skin. -And I will tell you now I have better things to do, like my best work.
This trip will be separating me from the groves of our society and all the distractions that cause that constant feeling that something is missing.

My plan while on the trail...

Beginning April 2018 I am booked to leave on a 6+ month hike across 14 beautiful states, covering about 2,258 miles by foot on the Appalachian Trail.

Starting in Georgia ending in Maine I want to capture all the faces , stories and beauty through works of art and short stories. This adventure is going to be a doozy, and I invite you to follow my journey!

Post trip

My plan is to compile all my creations and stories into a sort of sketchbook journal. That compilation I will then attempt to have published! BUT... I will also be giving away my art! (see below)

Join my posse !!

If you would like to support me you can start by following me here on my blog and up-voting my post's. This blog will be feeding me along the trail. If you'd like to be the proud owner of one of the pieces of art I create while on my hike I will promise an original to every donation over $200.00 (USD) to the link below... these funds will help me keep up on my responsibilities back home such as my 16 year old daughter.
