I Give Up: A Transformative Journey from Control to Freedom
We live in a culture that worships “grit,” “hustle,” and “taking charge.” We are told from a young age that if we just work harder, plan better, and manifest our desires, we can control our destiny.

Today's small moment - When driving over the Mackinac Bridge, I love how the second tower appears perfectly framed within the first.

On a cloudy day like this, it’s almost hard to believe we’re crossing a body of water at all—it feels higher than it is, with nothing but clouds and a faint glimpse of the horizon in view.

I’ll never get tired of crossing the Mackinac Bridge, whether I’m heading north to the Upper Peninsula or south to the Lower Peninsula.

Today's Small Moment - looking back on this day in 2023 when I was driving from Virginia to Michigan to bring dad to live with us. As always, I have to stop at one (or both) of the parks on either end of the Bridge. This shot is from the Colonial Michilimackinac Historic State Park in Mackinaw City in Michigan's Lower Peninsula.

With the snow on the shoreline and the view through the trees, this is one of my favorite views of the Mighty Mac.

This will be uploaded to my gallery at BeautifulSunPhotography.com soon.

I’m going to try posting something every day. Not a New Year’s resolution exactly — more of an intention. A place to share gratitude, something beautiful or funny I noticed, and a small reminder to stay grounded when a lot feels heavy right now. Grieving my brother, and walking through my dad’s decline at 92, makes this feel important.

For today, this photo is a double screen drive-in theater in Ohio that I used to pass on my way to and from Michigan. It is ~2 hours south of my nightly stay over in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I always stopped for a photo or two or three or more. The backdrop to this vintage drive-in was almost always dramatic clouds and skies.

A Monk’s Guide to Finding Joy: Train Your Mind and Transform Your Life
In an era defined by “hustle culture,” digital burnout, and an almost obsessive pursuit of external validation, true happiness often feels like a disappearing horizon. We are told that joy is something we attain—a destination reached once we have the right job, the right partner, or the right bank balance.
