“Becoming a writer is about becoming conscious...
When you’re conscious and writing from a place of insight and simplicity and real caring about the truth, you have the ability to throw the lights on for your reader.”

Your Survival Guide for the Election Season
Camping trips are my very favorite vacation. Being in nature with the simplicity of just the essentials — amazing food cooked over an open fire, laughter with friends and family, and technology-free activities — is, simply put, paradise. All campers know that to enjoy this kind of freedom you must also prepare a lot. It is imperative to have all of the necessary equipment to truly enjoy the experience. If you are cold, hungry, or ill-prepared for danger, it is not only unenjoyable but can be downright miserable.
