Building an Independent Life

3 August 2019 - Wes Family, Journey, Life, The Work
I can see my independent life just as you can see the sun light shining through the trees of a forest.

I want a life that is independent. I want to do life with others and help people. And I want the autonomy to choose what I do each day.

Flowers with color editing focused on reds and shadows and leaves turned to a blue-ish hue in the background.

Today, I turned 42. The sound, the look, the mathematical relationship between the numbers, its billing as the answer to the ultimate question, I like 42.

Children's writings and drawings in different color marker on part of a whiteboard.

Today is my 42nd birthday. Yesterday, 3 adorable children and a lovely wife came to my office and surprised me with balloons, candy, and their presence!

The outside entrance to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in Denver, Colorado.

Today’s items have a theme: we went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (DMNS) yesterday! And the kids showed me their favorite exhibits.

An up close shot of a bluetooth speaker on a granite countertop.

I love music. I love speakers. I love listening to music on decent to great headphones and I love listening in a public environment when appropriate.

Multi-colored, crocheted blanket a top a yellow patterned duvet.

Garageband, podcasts, jingles, naps…this one has it all! And I dedicate these words to anyone who is trying to create something. Keep going.

Black and white picture of snow falling against a dark background.

We still get excited with each snowfall. Even the little ones. It’s just. so. pretty. And this year, it seems to be snowing more frequently. Delightful!

Trees with blue sky and clouds in the background. Tallest tree appears to be decades old.

Am I trying to control something that hasn’t happened or already happened and either way I have zero chance of controlling it? Relax the shoulders.

Bokeh-like circles of oranges and yellows melding over a red background.

As a couple, Valentine’s Day had an artificial feel to it. With kids, the spark and loveliness of speaking your fondness for others became contagious!

A clear plastic cup of black coffee with ice in it, positioned in front of an open laptop and monitors.

We’ve known each other for 18 years, now, and we’ve been a couple for the last 13 years. You could say we’ve been around each other quite a bit.

I am just like you and also different in lots of ways but still so similar. I have hopes and dreams and reality often tries to sidetrack those things. So I am pushing against what is normal (to me) and doing my best to teach my kids and each other how to pursue what excites us and makes us come alive. The world needs more people living, not just existing.
