This post will make more sense if you read The Calling: Part 1 first. The year before my soul quest journey, our family was visiting the colonial town of Antigua, Guatemala, before spending a month living on Lake Atitlan. Little did I know, one seemly innocuous event would create a subtle shift that would change…
All prayers are heard. And all prayers are answered, though the answer may not take the shape and form you are expecting. I respond directly to your deepest needs and longings, unhindered and unimpaired by your limited human perspectives. So often, the thing you think you want is just the opposite of what you truly…
In early 2018, my friend Dee had given me the book Soulcraft by Bill Plotkin. As that was the year I’d be turning 50, the concept of embarking on a wild, crazy, rendezvous of the soul sounded like a fun way to embrace the journey to elder-hood. Dee and I decided to sign up for…
