Musings and Inspiration

Me, Ayaz and a Supermoon over NYC. Bliss!

2014 Year in Review, Passenger Conners-style

There was love, laughter, great explorations, a resurrection of Jesus, and one time, I accidentally bought psychotropic drugs. 2014 was a helluva year, folks.

We're engaged!

Love is All You Need

For Sanity’s Sake: The Art of Journaling

I’m still navigating that winding road known as life, facing joys and triumphs, fears and self-doubts. And still, all these years later, I’m writing them down, sorting them from my head to the page, by hand.

Digital Nomads and Pet Ownership: Because, Why the Heck Not?

So, I bought a pet. Actually, 2 pets. If, in fact, a betta fish can be classified as a pet (and why shouldn’t it be?!). What? Is it weird to own a pet but have no permanent address? Aw, come on…live a little! It was my birthday weekend, and perhaps […]

A Tale of Location Independence: Why Live This Life?
