A book my father once read that I’m reading on my journey over. He loved sharing his books with me and vis versa. Over the past few years we’d end up buying books that the other already had and get pi**ed we bought it!

It looks like he also left a little gift at the end :)

My dad planned it all.

The walk, the travel over, the excursions, the sites to see, all the way down to watching these whales.

Losing a loved one feels like taking everything you thought you knew, and shattering it into a million pieces. As you slowly start picking up the pieces you can’t help but see every part of them through this new lens. Every piece telling a different story, digging deeper into parts of yourself you’ve still yet to understand. The pain of picking up the pieces is nothing in comparison to the beauty of love that shines through them. I’ll take all the cuts I can get. I’ve always been one to be fond of scars.

I know you’re not gone father, you’ve simply gone swimming with the whales.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Bags officially packed for the Camino. I’m Bob’s son and I’ll be burying these acorns along the way. (Bob may or may not be inside them)

Before the Camino, Bob had planned a trans-Atlantic sail to Barcelona with Christy, my mom and his wife. We set sail today and will arrive in Barcelona on April 22.

I’ll keep you updated with all things Soul Arborist!

On January 30, we lost a dear friend, Bob Meier, to a heart attack. Bob touched the members of his community in so many wonderful ways, one of which was leading Socrates Cafe at Spiral Wanderers Coffee Shop, where he led and facilitated meaningful discussions about life and living, all with gentle grace and humor.

Please join us on Monday, February 9, at 7:00 as we share memories and celebrate his life with friends and family.

Somedays are a struggle. Somedays are a breeze. Are you following the script or going by heart with ease? You just have to feel the difference and live as

This morning I woke up with a desire to visit the bird sanctuary and connect with the birds and squirrels on Jekyll Island. I hadn’t a clue why. This evening I discovered that it was national squirrel appreciation day. How serendipitous.
