Sing that Tune

''For someone with a spinal cord injury, Jesse has more backbone than anyone else I know. He looks people in the eye while he’s not afraid to make powerful requests of them. He’ll unabashedly cruise up and start conversation with any woman. Most guys hesitate when Jesse asks, “Why Wait?” And his injury certainly hasn’t stopped him from surfing waves even I’m timid to ride. He inspires strength in me as well as the reminder to live in the present moment so that I may enjoy and be aware of the best possible life experience. ''

-Jason Mraz, Singer/Songwriter

The 4th was on the 5th for me.....


Even though fireworks were in the sky yesterday, I felt like fireworks were exploding all around me today. Today was an amazing day for me. I recently bought a 22ft fishing boat and today was the first day I took it up to Malibu. The weather was beautiful, the water was glassy and the sky was blue. Lucky enough, I had one of my friends drive up next to my boat and take some photos of me on my first voyage up to Point Dume in Malibu. The smile that was on my face was from ear to ear. My life revolves around the ocean. If I am not surfing, I am fishing. The ocean is a peaceful place for me and it brings me so much joy. I am so thankful that I get to enjoy it.

Here are a few photos of me in my new boat. I am so excited......
