The Walk

It’s spring. As I walked past the frontyards of my neighborhood, full of blooming tulips and roses, I couldn’t help but think: this is what Easter feels like. New life. New hope. The promise that no …

There’s so much uncertainty right now. The economy is wobbling, the headlines are overwhelming, and it feels like everything we counted on is shifting. I’ve definitely felt that weight. And if you ha…

I wasn’t planning to walk another Camino.

Not this year. Not yet. But as I wandered through the woods this week, enjoying the first signs of spring, I felt that familiar pull. A quiet nudge that kept…

A few days ago, I went for a long walk. No phone. No recorder. Just me and the quiet of the woods.

That’s unusual for me. Normally, I’m always recording something — podcast episodes, course materials…

Lately, I've been wrestling with a big question: How do I stay truly me in the content I create?

I've spent years fine-tuning my videos, optimizing my titles, and chasing the perfect format. I even b…

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on my relationship with social media and content creation. For years, I measured success in numbers—views, likes, followers. But I’ve come to realize that the most valuab…

Every year, as Lent begins, the question always comes up: What are you giving up? For many, it’s sweets, coffee, or social media. This year, I’m making a bigger decision—I’m stepping away from Meta e…

Today, while walking in the woods, I noticed something simple yet profound. I watched dog owners and their playful pups, and it struck me how the dogs react to a little conflict. Whether they choose …

When I prepared for my first marathon, I thought the hardest part would be the race itself—the 42 kilometers of relentless forward motion. Turns out, I was wrong.

The real challenge? Learning when no…

I remember standing in Glendalough, the valley of two lakes in Ireland. The air was crisp, the landscape bathed in that soft Irish light, and the echoes of ancient footsteps seemed to linger in the s…

I was standing at the foot of Croagh Patrick, a rugged mountain in Ireland where St. Patrick once fasted for 40 days. Pilgrims were climbing barefoot over sharp rocks, a powerful act of penance. I, m…

"I will take the Ring, though I do not know the way."

There’s a powerful moment in The Lord of the Rings when Frodo steps forward, against all odds, to carry the burden of the Ring. He doesn’t know h…

I'm recording this on the third Monday in January, and for many of us, the spark of the new year feels like it’s fading. The Christmas lights are gone, the weather is bleak, and those ambitious resol…

Walking through a winter forest earlier today, I saw bare trees and fallen branches. Everything seemed lifeless.

But beneath the decay, I noticed something powerful: the forest wasn’t dying—it was pr…

Have you ever wished for a total reset? Not just in your calendar, but in your life? That’s exactly what the ancient concept of a Jubilee Year offers—a fresh start for individuals and communities ali…

As we step into 2025, one phrase is shaping how I approach the new year: Perfect is the enemy of good.

Like many, I’ve started previous years with big resolutions, only to watch them unravel by Febru…

The other day, I woke up with a Christmas song in my head.

It wasn’t just any version—it was the Muppets and John Denver, singing 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas'.

Nostalgia hit hard, remindi…

 Christmas stress hit me hard this week.

I was sitting at my desk after hours of non-stop work when it dawned on me: Christmas Eve is less than an week away.

My brain went into overdrive. So much t…

A couple of weeks ago, I found myself standing on the windswept Cliffs of Moher in Ireland.

During the bus ride, I had been listening to an audiobook about the life of Saint Patrick, and I was surpri…

In this episode of The Walk, I take you along as I reflect on a small but meaningful change in my life: transforming an old coatroom into a cozy winter office.

This tiny space has become my retreat, …
