Clarity doesn’t always come easy when we have to look past something. Beyond the looking glass. It all eventually comes into perspective though.

Things once perceived as blurry and undefined will become clear.

Patience, a good heart and a little hard work sharpen our vision even faster than a simple waiting game.

There’s moments of time through the year where you are waiting for another season to arrive. It’s a time of anticipation and preparation. A time to look back and a time to look ahead.

It’s weird to say this, but winter is on its way.

You can’t stop change. So rather than fight it. Embrace it.

I was loving the early mornings this week in Wisconsin. Dense fog flooded the streets and highway. Dangerous, yet attractive.

The fog reminded me of how life can seem that way. We get attracted to ideas of what “could be” and we reach without even knowing if that’s the actual end result.

Oddly enough, our end results tend to be greater than we anticipated.

Through curiosity, we awaken the unknown.

It’s better than chili. It’s chillax.

I had a hankering for some chili tonight, but it ended up being a chili and stew hybrid.

Tomatoes Corn Black beans Ground turkey Kidney beans Onion Garlic cloves Oregano Pan fried red potatoes added in Chili powder Salt Pepper Sugar A dollop of Michigan maple syrup!

Mighty tasty!

We decided to call it Chillax instead of chili.

Cut Man. Not from Megaman though.

I’ve been collaborating on a project at my church this past week and it’s slowly coming together. I’m mostly helping with cuts, color grading and then some motion graphics work in After Effects.

I’m pretty pumped to grind this baby out and share it with everyone. Fun projects make you create some of your best work. Timeline pressures can too.

It’s amazing what you can do with limited resources.

Roasting coffee at home.

This past week I have experienced my first time roasting coffee beans at home. All I used was an electric stove, a whirley popper, a kitchen scale, a thermometer, and a colander for cooling.

The first time I burned them based on following directions online. I quickly found you need to listen and smell because every heat source/method can give different results.

Right now I am thoroughly enjoying…

While chaos is beautiful and can bring great creativity into your life, so can an organized space.

It’s been a work in progress for me that I’ve been thoroughly enjoying in my life. One step at a time lets you feel things out and make each next step a better one.

What one thing in your life could be more organized? I bet you’ll love the change.
