The Weekly Spark: Original Photography & Reflections
A journal sharing one original photograph and an inspiring thought every Monday morning.
 This photo of my dog Ace as a puppy says it: Be yourself. Ace was always curious, playful, and present, never pretending to be anything he wasn’t. I miss him, but the lesson he taught me still sticks: life is better when you stop worrying about appearances and live. That’s a big part of why I stepped away from social media.

"If today were the last day of your life, would you do what you're going to do today?" Steve Jobs I keep this question front and center. It helps me to live deliberately and prioritize what matters rather than put off meaningful actions.

 Florence, Oregon to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina You may notice I’ve been reflecting more on how songs shape my life. Right now, I’m listening to a playlist of rock favorites from the 70s and 80s. “Peace of Mind” by Boston is playing. My friend and I wore out several 8-tracks (remember those?) listening to the debut album, and the title song still stirs many emotions. One verse in particular impacted me then and perhaps even more today: “People living in competition, all I want is to have my peace of mind.”
