Riding With Jimmy

I feel very lucky. This ride I’ve been on. This life-changing ride. I feel like I stumbled into it. Like an accident. But I don’t like that word--accident. As if there weren’t other elements at play. There always are...

When I run into what feels like an  insurmountable block, I head for nature and often find the answers I didn't know I was looking for. I continually need that undistracted Tangible Connection.

sometimes I can't disappear, or am looking for knowledge, ideas, and work that Challenge my thoughts and Inspire new growth. Here are a Handful of Resources that Have Helped and affected me in Wonderfully UNexpected ways. Things that have stuck.
