SUMMITING KILIMANJARO––Discovering endurance and answering the riddle of what is enough

His first words to me through the ether about the xplor.earth team at the summit of Kilimanjaro said it all….

HARSH: “Everyone safe, some not very lucid, but thrilled nevertheless after having pushed body and mind to extreme limits. Proud of the team, from 15 to 53 years old!”

The language of hope from the hidden and hurting in Jordan

Thank you in Arabic I learned my first Arabic word during a bizarre Pepperoncini accident –– “Shu-kraan”

Our driver greeted us at the Queen Alia International Airport after a 20+ hour journey from California. We stopped at a shawarma fast food place for dinner and he introduced himself saying, “My name is Salam, it means peace in Aramaic, the language of Jesus.”

No one I had ever known introduced himself in quite that way. After his introduction, the world seemed to slow in this busy part of town, coming into...

Bluewater���where deep calls to deep

The latest post from Laura Elliott, best-selling ghostwriter of books, speeches and screenplays for global thought leaders.

This is a story about the good stuff. About when you get that feeling. A feeling that doesn���t make sense, but you act on it anyway. Where feeling turns to force. No, not the over-the-top, Hollywood-science-fiction-blockbuster kind. These are the gentle whispers. The ones that are easy to pay attention to. And the crazy ones …

Blue water–where deep calls to deep

This is a story about the good stuff. About when you get that feeling. A feeling that doesn’t make sense, but you act on it anyway. Where feeling turns to force. No, not the over-the-top, Hollywood-science-fiction-blockbuster kind. These are the gentle whispers. The ones that are easy to pay attention to. And the crazy ones we dismiss out of hand.

I’m writing to encourage you to pay attention to them all.

It was a regular day in my new neighborhood. I hadn’t had many regular days for a whil...

Ballerinas, machine guns and Corcovado––a dance with doubt in Brazil

On the heels of my dad’s death last July, a fellow pilgrim on El Camino de Santiago invited me to stay with her in the mountains outside of São Paulo.

Yes, please.

I had no expectations other than I’d spend my days writing in a charming mountain hamlet where I’d talk long into the night with people at my friend’s pousada,

hike to waterfalls, enjoying dives into unbridled beauty,

and trek a beautiful camino to La Piedra del San Francisco.

I’d effectively flown from one San Francisco to a...

The exotic journey of the heart

These first golden weeks of the new year always uplift my spirit. I hope they’ve done the same for you.There’s nothing quite like the promise of a new year to tune into dreams and passions.

It’s been over a year and a half since I sold most of my stuff, stored the rest and went out into the world to discover the Lord’s will for my life.And I have a decision to make. End my walk in the world, or keep going?

This is one of the most unique and intimate moments in all of my travels.
