Wandering through the stacks. Whether it is in libraries or bookshops there are just so many gorgeous books out there waiting to be held and marveled over. I feel connected to so many lives—the binders, printers, writers, publishers, illustrators, readers, and collectors—when I’m surrounded by shelves of books. It inspires me to imagine, make, and share. Read More>>

What makes me lose track of time is the work I do that connects deeply with my purpose—coaching, speaking, and empowering others. When I’m helping someone shift their mindset, break through a limiting belief, or step into their power, hours can pass without me noticing. It’s as if time pauses because I’m so present and invested in their transformation. Read More>>

Painting. Selecting a theme, assembling materials, and preparing my layouts is all part of my painting process. However, once I begin mixing colors and begin painting has me in a meditative state of mine. Time truly stands still for hours on end. I like working in natural light, so by the end of the day, I’m ready to relax and recharge my batteries. Read More>>

This may sound cliché coming from a travel creator, but the thing that makes me lose track of time — and find myself again — is travel. After my motorcycle accident, coma, and brain injury, I had no idea who the “new me” was. The personality shift from the TBI made old passions feel empty. Painting frustrated me. Movies felt flat. Life was just…meh. Read More>>

My days at the recording studio always make me lose track of time. I can disappear in there for hours, which gets expensive fast LOL, but it feels like it’s just been minutes. Songwriting is also like that. I get wrapped up in it and don’t even realize hours have gone by. Read More>>

Music is what makes me lose track of time—it contains multitudes. Whether I’m listening to my tunes as a form of meditation when stressed or as a guide while working, the music lifts me up when I’m blue and brings me back to solid ground when I’m overly cheerful. Music is truly the best medicine, without side effects, when enjoyed at safe volumes. Read More>>

What makes me lose track of time—and find myself again? Practicing music. It’s been like this for a VERY long time for me. Read More>>

What makes me lose track of time—and find myself again—is engaging in my art practice. When I’m creating, I enter this state where time almost dissolves. It feels less like a task and more like a ritual—something symbolic that bridges the internal and external, shifting me from one state of being into another. Read More>>

Riding my motorcycle and climbing mountains puts me completely in the present moment, there is no past, no future just right now and that is a special place to be. It can’t last forever but it completely focuses me on what I am doing at that moment because if I am not focused, I will not have a future as I will not survive. Read More>>

Music, it takes me to a universe full of energy and positivity , time doesn’t exist when I’m singing , when I’m creating new songs when I’m performing on stage , Music is my voyage to this world full of colors and sounds , sounds that always give me energy to keep going Pa’Delante in the real world.
