The Phantom of North Pond: The Man Who Disappeared Into the Woods for 27 Years
Try to imagine the sound of absolute silence. Not the quiet of an empty room, where the hum of a refrigerator or the distant passing of a car still anchors you to civilization. Imagine a silence so profound, so heavy, and so unbroken that you can hear the blood pumping through your own veins. Imagine living in that silence for a day. Then a week. Then a year.

First $100
Everyone dreams about big success, but very few people understand the power of the first $100. It looks small, almost unimportant, but in reality, it is the moment everything changes.

Looking at Life Through A Kaleidoscope
As I take a tip of a paint brush and paint my new life I remember things I have done. Without forgetting all I have seen, done, and felt I bring a new purpose of creativity. As I create I open my eyes wider to new possibilties I have not yet seen. While I hold strong my past I unravel my new strengths. I am standing here with armour equipped to face new challenges that may arise. I am also twirling and dancing to my new creative life. I cannot wait for the world to see my new art whatever that might be. I would love everyone to join me in this epic dance of creativity.
