TRAVELING LIGHT, WITH

INTENTION AND ON

PURPOSE

A desire to “travel light” which had emerged during my
final college years was now grounded in experience,

having worked most of my professional years in

healthcare administration and healthcare consulting

positions. By this time, “traveling light” had evolved to being self-
employed, telecommuting, and leaving a small carbon footprint.

And by this time, having lived my career years in an urban high-

rise environment, I had a growing interest in studies which were

emerging regarding the impact of the urban environment upon
well-being. In many respects, I was ready for the path forward.

Putting a philosophy of human ecology and everything we knew
about integration of body-mind-spirit to a real test would be the

challenge. In contrast with admission to one of the local facilities,

we would create a wellness lifestyle for Mother and Dad. It was the

ecological response when compared with available alternatives.

The goal – being the best we could be.
