If you want your team to get to the next level reach out to this crew! I can’t recommend them highly enough. Do yourself a favor and find out for yourself.

Looking forward to getting back into these trails at some point this year. In the meantime I can enjoy thinking about them from my back yard hammock. Still not a bad life at all.

Earth Day is a great opportunity to reflect on the impacts we put on this beautiful planet and what's working and what can be improved upon.

On a personal level here's some things I think I've been doing pretty good with:
- composting (thanks to the help of the City of Austin for making this an easy one)
- not using disposable bottles for water
- spending time picking up litter in my community
- not eating animals or their byproducts
- being conservative with household water usage and electricity
- switching to bees wrap and non disposable storage solutions for food

Things I can definitely stand to improve on and will be working on:
- getting off of using paper towels
- conserving more water by taking shorter showers
- driving on highways a bit slower to conserve mpg
- pay more attention to purchasing things that have less packaging which includes opting to get the few amazon deliveries shipped at once instead of as fast as possible causing multiple shipments
- could definitely step up the community cleanups to be more frequent
- plant more food at home

Long story short, I love this dang planet and will continue to attempt to be a better user of it and a better giver to it.

What are some ways you all are doing good? I definitely welcome advice on some things you all have been doing or would like to work on more in the next year.

What is it about staying in my house the last few weeks that makes me want to go to on a road trip to West Texas?

Maybe just that the staying to yourself is enjoyable in a way and you can isolate yourself pretty easily out there?

I don't know. Thoughts? Where are you itching to get to when it's safe to do so again?

Eastern philosophy holds that yoga heals by releasing prana, the body's vital energy. When prana is blocked, illness can result. Western practitioners believe yoga's deeply relaxing breath work allows the body's healing abilities to take over.

Working on that indoor pandemic fitness vibe.

Shot for Aquasana many years ago with one of the absolute most enjoyable creative directors.

Continuing with the theme of escaping to the outdoors during this 2020 pandemic via photography.

This image was captured while photographing rock climbers at the top of one of the mountains in Grand Teton National park. It pays to turn around every now and then to take in the view and see what you might be missing.

What we're watching now.
