“There is power within our words. They can empower us, defeat our ambitions and bleed an ink pen dry. Each one of us has a unique story to share. Our pearls of wisdom can liberate and transform the life of one person, maybe even a thousand. We are here to be heard, to guide, to live life in motion and explore the elements for a healthier life! So put pen to paper and #SHINEON!!”

I am embarking on an adventure of a lifetime. I was presented the opportunity to change my typical lifestyle to that of a nomad.
Nomad – noun – a person who moves from one place to another rather than living in one place all of the time.
My creativity is flowing and it feels good to be putting pen to paper. I look forward to sharing my personal insights, pearls of wisdom and stories from the road.
