I'm relentless and I'm nearing past my own boundaries of discomfort when it comes to talking about myself on Social Media. But my intentions are coming from an honest and heart-centered place. When the concept of Soul Wave Project came about, I wasn't hoping it would turn into a praise fest about what I've done or how righteous we are as partners. I genuinely just want to help people with the skills that I've learned and the experiences that I've had. And the reason why it's important to me that I make it public, is threefold: One, so that you get to know the people (outside of @SoulWaveProject) who are ACTUALLY practicing what they preach and influencing change in the communities, their industries, the world. Two, you understand that nothing is ever perfect. We're all a bit jaded and self-involved. It's not a judgement, it's just fact and I own that too. But acting in compassion and sharing the not-so-perfect details is the whole point of this project. You don't need to be perfect or entirely selfless to do some good for others. Three, I'm hoping you'll read the articles or see these moments and feel supported, feel empowered by the people we've met to do the same in your community, that maybe Soul Wave Project can help someone YOU KNOW. With so much negativity surrounding us on a constant basis, sharing how we can overcome this together by vocalizing the nitty gritty, not- so-shiny but still meaningful experiences, work, and encounters is pivitol. So... Here's the ask: will you support us in supporting others? Would you be willing to join us on this literal Road Trip and share it with someone, or everyone, who could find the resources to get the help they need? I truly would love to hear your thoughts...

Fun fact: I wasn't sure we could tolerate each other after we first met😂 . . . 》》》》》Even after a few years, we both have become distinct variations of who we were as individuals and as a couple (of weirdos). We went from working together, to trying each other out, to just being friends-- then quickly becoming each other's emergency contact, then going through a weird and heavy spot, to finally landing on the realization that maybe this whole circus was going to be worth it. All the while our ideology and mindset was shifting. . . . This isn't a story about how perfect we are and how we're so "meant to be"-- Because, I'll tell you that would be total donkey-punch- you-in- the-throat bullshit. It took us two states, two career moves, three homes, MANY long discussions, heartbreaks, and the Rasta Pasta just to get us to where we are today. Exhausting and yet absolutely worth it. Every morning we choose each other. We have to. It isn't enough to love somebody. Sharing your life with someone in any capacity isn't always easy and love can only get you so far. It takes an extra heap of respect and empathy sometimes. And for us, it requires frequent adventures away from everything and everyone. Especially, when either one or both of us are acting/ feeling discombobulated. Everyone in a relationship has felt this way, they just don't talk openly about it that often. This isn't advice BTW, it's just honest verbal vomit. The grass is always greener on the other side until you realize that the person you want slaying dragons with you has been by your side the whole time. Don't take that for granted. . . . . . Much like our wandering and restless bones, we don't keep still long enough for a candid photo to look perfect...and staged photos are boring. (at Pacific Seas)
