Life is too short to remain wistful and ill-equipped about the beauty that surrounds you.
I help the world-weary find wonder and solace outside.
You live a busy life. You juggle many things. But at the same time, you feel this longing to get outside. You know it’s restorative and good for your soul. And yet the days tick by and you feel disheartened that you don’t enjoy it more.
Or, you feel frustrated that due to physical limitations, you can’t enjoy the outdoors more. You wish there was some way to learn about nature and connect you to the wonder of it all, without having to climb a mountain.
And when you are able to get outdoors, then what? Do you feel ill-equipped to explore the secrets of nature and connect with the Creator? Do you feel somewhat “nature-blind?” Without someone to show you the way, you’ll remain unaware and ill-equipped. You’ll miss out on entering into the world of discovery and awe that awaits you.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a guide?
Make every time you step outside a step into wonder.

Many people tell me, “my church is outside.” Because when they step outside, and watch a sunset, they step into awe, wonder and beauty. They may not always go to church, but they definitely see God in His work room, the great outdoors.
Maybe you can relate. You want to:
Learn how to hear what’s really going on around you.
Identify different birds by color and bird call.
Train your eyes to see the tiny, hidden wonders and the big things.
Notice the seasons and the effect on your local neighborhood.
Enjoy your surroundings with all of your senses.
So I put together this resource to help you connect with God through all your 5 senses. You’ll gain the ability to sense Him through sight, sound, smell, taste and touch—even in your own backyard. It’s a beautiful, 38-page guide that you can download for free and print out at home. (Your local copy shop will also print and spiral bind it for you). Below is a video you can watch to learn more.
