It's been a whileI have been thinking about bringing my photography contest back to the Hive blockchain. For those of you that have been here for a while, I ran a photography contest here for a few years. It was a really fun way to get people out taking pictures and sharing them here on Hive.

sourceOver the course of the last year, I have been doing mushroom trips once a month. Those trips have ranged from all sorts of different doses. Over the last year or so, I have had so many different experiences during these trips. I can honestly say that mushrooms have pretty much changed the course of my entire life. They have helped me work through things in my life and given me the ability to have compassion for myself and what I have been through in my 42 years here on this planet.

Tomorrow he will be 9 months oldTime has been flying. It is crazy to me that Theo is going to be 9 months old tomorrow. Over the last 9 months, he has made some pretty incredible changes.Our daughter has been introducing different types of food and he is having so much fun with it. One of his favorites is spaghetti made with spaghetti squash instead of pasta noodles. It has been pretty cool to be able to introduce the healthier foods that we have been eating instead of the prepackaged garbage that is sold in stores. I love how our health journey has influenced him as well.

Such a great year2024 has come and gone, but with this new year, I am feeling very optimistic about the future. Normally, my family and I would be going into the new year with more negativity than positivity, but not anymore.

Happy Holidays!Just popping in real quick to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holiday season. This was my first Christmas as a grandpa and it was really cool to be able to be here and celebrate it with my family.

So much funI was asked to take some pictures of some new construction at a local farm yesterday. It was a really great shoot and it pushed my creativity to try and capture interesting photos of the new buildings. Those photos will come later, but until then, I will be sharing some photos of the animals that I came across while wandering the farm because the animals pictures were a ton of fun to get.
