An essentialist examines their life not only to clear out the non-essential obligations and clutter and bad habits and so forth in an attempt to simplify and focus. That’s all good, certainly. But the ultimate goal is to orient your life such that when opportunities arise which are squarely in your sights for the lifestyle you most desire, you are in the perfect position to give an emphatic YES. In other words, dreams don’t come true just by happenstance. You’ve got to prepare the way.

Broadway Bridge…one of my three favorite spans across the Willamette. #portland

Naito Parkway is one of the most scenic routes through downtown Portland, following the edge of the Willamette River. I always love seeing it when viewed from the Lovejoy Ramp above.

The Pearl is looking mighty shiny in 2020. How’s your New Year going so far?

You know those moments where the lighting outside and the sky get all dramatic for a minute and you’re like…gosh I wish I had my fancy camera on me!? Well this time I had my fancy camera on me! Yippee.

Sun poked its head out the day after Christmas. Should have been singing that song from Annie instead of Jingle Bells back on the 25th! 😆

KOIN Center — Portland’s pyramid. One of the most recognizable landmarks of the #portland skyline. Also rocks some fine eating establishments and coffee shops.
Even in the darkest of times, there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
Something about the quality of light in late fall. Ahhh 😌

The touristy areas in and around Portland, Oregon are—for the most part—actually awesome. Multnomah Falls is no exception! It’s not that long of a drive from the city, and the views are breathtaking. I’m glad the upper bridge is open again after the past fires!
This has been a year of extremes. Some of the most emotionally painful and gut-wrenching moments I’ve been through in close to a decade. But also some of the most thrilling and rewarding times in my entire life. For all of my journey, for the yin and the yang, for the growth, for the joy, for the loss, for the art, for the love…I am truly THANKFUL. 🙌
