Exploring Magic Carpets

Journey through Morocco

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Morocco travel. Marrakesh, to be precise. Let’s start by saying yes it was an interesting place. Fascinating architecture and history. Good food. Great service in most places. You know the “but” is coming, right?

Too loud. Too busy. Too pushy. Not really friendly. Kind of dirty. And a tad on the seedy side. Sorry, some may be upset with these comments, but this is just Adam’s view. If you want a similar cultural experience with much friendlier people, better food, and cleaner streets, go to Istanbul in Turkey. If you don’t mind the dirt and the street scene, but want friendlier people and better food, go to the Rajastani areas of India, like Jaipur and Udaipur.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/vGQnqhRJdgY”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”5262,5263,5264,5265,5266,5274,5267,5268,5269,5270,5271,5272,5273,5259,5261,5260,5316,5317,5315,5314,5313″ layout=”4″ gallery_style=”1″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_raw_html]

Celebrating You: A Season of Self-Love and Kindness

The holiday season can be a lot. For some, it’s full of joy and celebrations, while for others, it can feel overwhelming—whether it’s the pressure of year-end deadlines, missing loved ones, or just struggling to connect with the holiday spirit. In my latest blog, I’m focusing on ways to take care of *you*. From enjoying your favorite foods to stepping away from social media or taking yourself out for a quiet moment of peace, sometimes the best gift you can give is the gift of time and care for yourself. It’s also a chance to share kindness with others, even in small ways, which can make a bigger impact than you realize. Wherever this season finds you, I hope the blog offers a little inspiration to make the holidays feel more manageable—and meaningful—in your own way.

Finding Common Ground: Bridging Divides in a Polarized World

Our beliefs and perspectives evolve over time, shaped by our experiences and the changing world around us. This evolution is why open, constructive conversations—especially about divisive topics—are so critical. They allow us to explore our assumptions, challenge our thinking, and grow together, even when we disagree.

Today, I want to explore the concept of the slippery slope—a fear that often emerges in debates about rights and regulations. It’s a concern that touches on issues as varied as gun control, LGBTQ+ rights, and abortion, though people often apply it inconsistently.
