Exploring Colorful History

Journey through India

[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line”][vc_column_text]I believe most people that travel to India will struggle to find just the right words to describe their experience. And with the country so large and diverse, their experience will differ vastly depending on where they visit. Most of my work has been in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. But the majority of the photos below are from our 2006 vacation in the largely Rajasthani areas once the domain of the kings of India. We spent lots of time in Udaipur, Jaipur, and Agra and enjoyed exploring the great palaces. Difficult to comprehend, however, was the incredible difference between the wealth and opulence we saw in the gates of the palace and hotel compounds and the sad poverty outside.

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.
