Update From Umpqua

Posted by on Nov 23, 2016 in Uncategorized |

  It’s hard to believe that we’ve been on the road, living this life, for seven months. Each experience seems to open us up just a little more, to who we are, what we love, and how we can serve.

We are in Charleston, Oregon, a small fishing village situated along Coos Bay and the South Slough, forming the largest estuary on the Pacific Coast.

We have found our new-to-us motor home for our full-time living! We’d been looking every day on RV Trader and Craigslist, comparing floor plans, models and miles. Marika and I spent a morning at a dealership a few weeks ago, walking through many vehicles to see them in person. We were still deciding between a Class A and a Class C. A Class A is like...

How To Take Action

Posted by on Mar 30, 2016 in celebration, decisions, delight, Uncategorized |

I’m often talking about how NO ACTION is the best step to take. That we need to sit in stillness and silence so that we can get clear about what the truest action step is to take. Like most things in life, it is a delicate balance of listening and responding, waiting and moving, stilling and taking action. The more we tune in to our hearts, our...
