What We Own

What we "own" will not define who we are.  Prada, Louis Vuitton, Wal-Mart--brands speak to people.  Brands "communicate".

But the truth, is the only thing we really own is our love for one another.  We can't take our BMW's, our iPads, or our Prada bags with us when we meet the unwanted visitor (the Egyptians tried).  Also, we don't ever really own anything physical in this world.  We more accurately "borrow it" and then leave it behind.

What we own will not define you, me, or anybody.  Ultimately, what we love, experience, and share will define us--not what we "own".

Moving to San Francisco

After ten months in Berkeley, I am moving to San Francisco.  It's a bitter-sweet feeling as I've grown to love the Berkeley area, the food, the scenery, and the always interesting people.

My new home in San Francisco will be in the Mission.  I will be one block from one of the best bakeries in the city, as well as Dolores Park, and Bi-Rite grocery.

It will be a new adventure, a new challenge, and a new opportunity.  I am very grateful to have found this place and I know deep in my heart this will be a prosperous move for my life and career.

It's never easy letting go.  We all attach ourself to people, places, and things.  But such is the beauty of life.  Nothing lasts forever.  With an open heart and open mind we can let love and joy into our life.  We can appreciate life's fragilities, and we can share our love with the world.

I will miss you Berkeley. See you in San Francisco.
