Family and friends, I’m getting ready for another season of Trippin’. This time, I’m giving more attention to what’s happening within me as I move through the world.
I’m leaving Cleveland on November 26, 2026, with plans to return around the end of March 2027. Along the way, I’ll be learning, visiting people I love, spending time outdoors, and building everyday practices that help me listen to myself.
Movement changes perspective. This season, I’m also making room for stillness.
From November 30 through December 18, I’ll attend UHP’s Integrative Health Coach program in Bentonville, Arkansas. This immersive, in-person training focuses on listening, behavior change, and supporting people as they work toward their own well-being.
I’m looking forward to being a student again—and putting what I learn into practice in my own life. Completing the program is a step on the path toward national board certification.
Arkansas
Travel to Bentonville, settle in, and attend training.
Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina
Holiday visits and time to reconnect with family and friends.
North Carolina
A longer stay in Wendell to rest, work, move, create, and build a rhythm I enjoy.
Maryland
About four weeks to connect with others and carry my practices into another setting.
Pennsylvania, then Ohio
Time to reflect before returning home around the end of March.
What I’m exploring
Body: Learning what gives me energy, when I need rest, and how to listen more closely.
Mind: Noticing my patterns, questioning assumptions, and making thoughtful choices.
Soul: Making room for nature, meaning, creativity, and connection.
Self: Getting to know the man I am now—and building a life that fits.
I’ll use this page to share selected stories, photos, and discoveries along the way. Some days that might be a new place or something I learned in training. Other days, it might be a drawing, a quiet moment, or a good conversation.
For now, I’m preparing to leave and making room for what’s ahead. Thanks for following along and being part of my life.
Stay connected. Stay moving. Stay Trippin’.
