We’ve been here in Sedona a few weeks now. We're settling into this desert dream and I feel things beginning to shift. After getting a few hikes under our belts and being able to commune with nature a little more I’m beginning to feel some of the trauma of the past few years beginning to melt away. Attached is a photo and video montage of our last week here in the desert. I hope you enjoy it!

I’ve decided to trade in the 2016 “Toyoda” Prius I bought in 2017 with my Steemit proceeds. With prices of used cars, especially hybrids, so astronomically high I felt it was the perfect time to make the move.
What?
I was astonished to learn that Carvana offered me just a few hundred dollars less than I paid for the car in 2017. I’ve never dealt with Carvana, nor know anyone who has, but hopefully the offer is legit and the transaction is seamless. This was almost like driving the Prius for five years for nothing, it's been the most reliable car I've ever owned.
I always told myself that my Prius would be my last I.C.E. vehicle and this premonition turned out to be true because just last night I ordered this…
The long range AWD Tesla 3 in midnight gray metallic. I’ve been a fan of what Elon Musk has been doing with Tesla and SpaceX for quite some time. Ordering this last night felt almost like a dream. If you remember THIS BLOG POST from three years ago it’s been a dream a long time in the making.
My Model 3 will be produced in the Freemont, CA factory and should be ready for delivery sometime between June and August so I have plenty of time to take a deep dive into the specs of this vehicle. In the meantime I’ll try to imagine what 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds actually feels like. I can't wait. : )
I have so much to learn about the car and how it will integrate into our lives. I initially was looking at the Model Y but it would've been around $20,000 more for a vehicle with the same performance. I decided the extra room that I would gain with the Model Y wasn't worth that much to me.
I'll have more to report soon. Have a wonderful Friday all!

Poetry should move us, it should change us, it should glitch our brains, shift our moods to another frequency. Poetry should evoke feelings of melancholy, whimsy, it should remind us what it feels like to be in love, or cause us to think about something in a completely different way. I view poetry, and all art really, as a temporary and fragile bridge between our world and a more pure and refined one. This is a world we could bring into creation if enough of us believed in it. This book is ephemera, destined to end up forgotten, lingering on some dusty shelf or tucked away in a dark attic. Yet the words, they will live on in memory. I hope these words become a part of you, bubble up into your memory when you least expect them to and make you feel a little more alive.
Pick up a copy of Ephemera today on Amazon.
Most of us have experienced a moment of perfect peace at least once in our lives. In these moments we lose ourselves and feel connected to everything. I call these mindful moments. Words can’t describe how complete they make us feel.
These moments are usually fragile, evaporating in seconds. What if there was a way to train your mind to experience more of them? It’s deceptively easy and requires nothing more than a subtle shift in mindset. My new book, Mindful Moments, will teach you to be much more content despite the chaos and imperfect circumstances continuing to unfold around you.
