The same with DISCUSSIONS OVER A MEAL OR A DRINK; RESPECTFUL DIALOGUE ABOUT ISSUES, VALUES, MEANING, & HOW WE MIGHT DEFINE SUCCESS PERSONALLY.
I'm all about LIVING INTENTIONALLY & INTELLIGENTLY WITH INTEGRITY. That is not easy to do in this world that tries to sell us anything and everything and where conformity and branding are confused for identity.
You may find my posts rather random, an odd assortment of things that matter and things that don't. My life is kinda like that. I travel extensively, read widely, think deeply, eat well, enjoy friendship and endeavor to be smart in how I live, create and work.
I'm a Mac user and have a Fisher Space pen, but prefer fountain pens. I geocache, paint with watercolour and wanted to be a photographer for National Geographic, as did masses of young people when that was the premier outlet for amazing photography.
I've now lived overseas more years than in my native land. Does that make me suspect or just alter my perspective?
Living my faith is vital to the integrity I mentioned above. I seek to live a life marked by grace, gratitude and generosity. Only in that way will you glimpse the God I speak of with words.
I wish my cloud of tags was smaller. It'd be easier for you to find your way around. But look at the choices you have. Enjoy. Join the conversations. It'll be more interesting for all.
