Beautiful day for a hike on the coast in Big Sur.

I believe it was a late morning hike through meandering, narrow trails on the coast.

The ocean kept it cool, while Walt was in seventh heaven.

We did several hikes over the 3-4 days we were there, and this was one of my favorites.

One thing we were surprised by is that having a dog with you in Big Sur is extremely limiting to the number of hikes available to you.

Most trails do NOT allow dogs, even on leashes.

Ah well, too bad.

Very hard trip, but this hike was a highlight.

Here I'm just dumping ideas. Just wondering how I can use the foundation to work towards some sort of community/board game center in Ventura.

Sometimes the journaling process can see mundane, but when looked back on as a whole, certain things start to pop out.

This page and exercise just builds toward that type of illumination.  

Boring on it's own, but important in the grand scheme.

Just continuing the journey, almost every day. Today, listing out my personal traits and areas of expertise.

Then, connecting the dots.

What traits related to what areas of expertise.

Then, on the next page, list out as many ideas as possible for activities, pursuits, hobbies, whatever, related to each of the connections.

I'm definitely working in a mold here. I feel like my breadth of experience has been confined to a few areas.  I guess like most people.

My traits and my expertise are there, unchanging. How to find pursuits I'm passionate about in order to apply them in a way I enjoy?

This is the task.  This is this part of my journey.
