Now,
for anyone interested, a note to my future self, and above all, as a reminder to my inner critic...

• I am creating a body of artwork telling the stories of how history and myth intertwine throughout antiquity to become one and the same, influencing not only our distant past but the way we still experience reality today. Overall I see this as a means of learning about ancient history, its cultures, art and above all as a means of developing a system of learning how to learn. These paintings and accompanying ideas will be released next year.
• I am currently utilizing a body of artwork I created to support and fund projects benefitting the indigenous Aeta Tribe in the Philippines where the foundation I work with is currently repairing a concrete water tank that will function as a distribution station for the more than 2000 families we provide with individual water canisters.
• I am learning to become a better listener by improving my listening skills in Spanish. The effect has not been isolated to my Spanish but spilled over to my English and its conversations as well, it is wonderful and ongoing.
• I am practicing The Wim Hof Breathing Method daily. It is truly changing my state physically, reducing inflammation and arthritis in my spine as well as affecting my overall mood and energy levels. The effects continue to be profound.
• I am taking online courses through The Great Courses online, where I have been learning about ancient cultures as well as religion and languages. 
• I continue to travel the world with trips, and at my computer using Skype to have online conversations in Spanish
