Hello Readers,

Thank you for being here. I appreciate your interest and look forward to sharing some anecdotes, experiences and thoughts with you. It is possible this platform is better explained as an exploration of my desire to write and share for many years.

Reading has provided me with entertaining escapes at times, with inspiration when needed, and has been my greatest source of education. I don’t pretend I’ll hit the heights of the authors I admire or even come to achieve much beyond this blog. The win here is in the very act of creating this platform and turning a dream into something tangible.

I do hope you find some value in the content presented.

For now, let’s start with a question.

How often do you know the exact second that life would not be the same anymore, the exact moment you have changed? If you have ever had this experience you will know that it is a prelude to hard decisions, born from even harder questions.

This experience for me ignited something within and for possibly the first time, I felt as though my gut was dominating the conversations of my internal dialogue. A driving force was at play and I decided to jump on for the ride.

"I don’t know why I just know it is right, is a phrase that can illicit reckless commitment and courage." - From a later blog.

The igniting moment for me happened in The Coral Sea off the East Coast of Australia. All it took was a split second, I was either going to live or die trying. This story I’ll share in detail at a later date.

“My eyes forced shut, a dangerous urge to breath and a fear so sharp, my senses blended with my surrounds as I moved to save my life.” - From a later blog.

For now, again Thank you for being here. I’ll do my best to not say too much or take too much of your time. If you stay to read here, let it be at best a catalyst or at worst a source of casual sporadic entertainment. I urge you to not let it become a consistent pastime. As time is short and from where you sit reading this, you are only a short decision away from living out a dream.
