What is always rushing towards you but never reaches you?
I thought that this would be a good post to start with a riddle. (I am not a good riddler, but thought that I would give it a try.)
Have you figured it out yet? Highlight here: tomorrow to see the answer. This is not the best [...]
My excursion back into painting was something that I have been looking forward to for some time. I purchased the materials over a year ago, but never made the time to use them. As I was writing the Planning Your Adventure series, I decided to use “paint a painting” as an example for a simple [...]
How do you know that you have learned enough? Are you sure that you didn’t miss that one vital piece of information that could make or break your adventure?
In today’s world, there is more information available to us than we could ever take in, much less remember and use. It is all too easy to [...]
This is the final post in the Planning Your Adventure series. You’ve followed the map that you created and the only thing left to do is to go out there and enjoy your adventure!
Of course, there is still that nagging voice in the back of your head, “Are you sure this is the best time?” [...]
We are nearing the final post in the Planning Your Adventure series! If you are just joining us, it would probably be best for you start at the beginning.
You have completed the first two steps that you have laid out. You have, haven’t you? (If not, go back and get those done! Then come back [...]

Another post in the Planning Your Adventure series. You have your Baby Steps listed. Now it’s time to start taking action!
You have at most nine (sub)steps listed to complete each goal. Focus only on the first step. Can you complete it in less than 5 minutes? If not, break it down further until you can [...]
Continuing on with our Planning Your Adventure series, we have chosen our goals, defined them and now we can start achieving them!
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
How true, how very true. One single step is all that it takes to get going. Even better news, a small step is no [...]
What do you get when you combine a budding ultra-light backpacker with a 4.5-month trip? A frantic series of repacking attempts. Over the last two weeks I have repacked my suitcase at least five times, and altered my packing list even more more.
My original goal was to take only luggage that could be taken as [...]
This is the second post in the Planning Your Adventure series.
Before proceeding to the next step, you have to make sure that your goal is well defined and measurable. In the last post in this series (What do you want to do?) you chose one or two goals to focus on reaching.
As before, I will [...]
