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.
Look, I get it. You already subscribe to too many newsletters. So much to keep up with. But guess what? I only send out a newsletter once a week. And if you‘re feeling curious, peruse the Creator Class archive. You might find something that resonates with you! It’s a great way to stay current with what I’m publishing, and newsletter recipients always get some extra insight just for them. So what are you waiting for? Let’s roll!
The trees are always there.
Good night #Portland. Here’s to hoping for better days ahead.

I’ve wanted so badly to visit Bend and surrounds again this year, and just haven’t made it work. Soon, I hope! 🤞
That is one cool cat hanging out at Ankeny Square in #Portland. (And ironically, he’s red hot! 🔥) #OregonExplored
I’m always trying to take pictures of the glorious hanging baskets of #flowers we have here in #Portland and surrounding towns all summer. But the photos never do them justice.
I finally got a good angle, thanks to my #NikonZfc and 40mm prime, and went with a bit of a Wes Anderson vibe in post. How’d I do? ☺️ #OregonExplored
If this is hell, I don’t wanna go to heaven.
Happy Labor Day weekend y’all! 🥳
#Portland is pleased to boast many fine murals, but this one is definitely my favorite. It’s always a good day when I get to ride past. 😍 #OregonExplored

It was pretty hazy that day, but I still think this is one swell vista!
