What empowers you in your relationship to look beyond our masks and see the light that resides within your partner? How might you let your masks down to live in a space of being vulnerable with the one you love? How would that feel for you? What would it look like or taste like?

I first met Ellen in February on one of the first stops for my Magical Eyes Tour voyage, and it was a true blessing. The first night of my visit we sat over the dinner table with her daughter Kristen Ernst, a glass of wine and our hearts wide open -- ready to give and recieve. When I close my eyes, I can bring myself back to this state of being. It was fresh and full of love.

When I was driving through the Guadalupe Mountains, I couldn’t help but be stunned by their beauty. I have never seen mountains before - only the rolling hills of Austin, Texas (which is another beauty in and of itself).

When I arrived at my friend Johnny’s apartment, he informed me that The Guadalupe Mountains are actually a very dangerous place. Since Juarez, Mexico is just on the other side of the mountains, there are ‘bandits’ that patrol the area searching for people to abduct. Apparently the human trafficking industry is quite profitable.
