During my days in Saratoga Springs, NY
After waking up from my slumber in the yard of Field Horne, www.saratogaliving.com, I went off to explore the area. I went to Skidmore College where I managed to add some bruises and “skid-more”. I saw the Saratoga race track and did some video tapping inside where I was able to sneak in… I enjoyed yummy kimchee, sauerkraut and an assortment of pickled pickles from...

Day 1: Off to Wanderlust...a 4 day yoga throwdown

The start of my journey began with a 5am wake up call from Elle. I was still running errands the night before and Elle came to my rescue and even offered me a ride. Due to the time being so late I agreed and even got to see Saint and her lovely family before leaving, which was so nice.
Bless her heart, my girl Elle showed up with breakfast and coffee....

This small nonprofit private school on the north shore of the Dominican Republic needs outside assistance from YOU!
The school sits with five half-completed classrooms, no transportation, and over a hundred students without options for a genuine education.
They hope to finish their construction, purchase a safe vehicle for the children, and permit all those kids turned down due to space and...

Oh Craigslist here I come again!

More helpful than I could have expected, it’s no secret that these folks are passionate about this lifestyle. I...
My ENFP me
Well folks,
Nothing could be closer to the truth than this: http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFP.html
