What is significant about the changing of the dates? Time itself nearly seems arbitrary when it comes to the man/woman who truly wants change.
What is important is the person, the agent of change. The person who seizes every day, not just every year, to know, change, and grow themselves. The person who knows that while the majority of the world’s population is using this one moment in time to make promises of growth, they make those promises (and keep them), every day of their lives. The person who betters their soul every day until eventually that soul is new again.
“The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.”
- G.K. Chesterton
Intern at TMOOH this Fall!
Posted by – September 28, 2011
Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to check out an internship opportunity with our team.
// OUR STORY:
Growing up in a small town and moving to Los Angeles for college opened my eyes to a world where people obsessed over their appearance. Whether they used models in magazines or peers as their benchmark, I found it heartbreaking to see friends lose a part of themselves when they became absolutely absorbed in appearing a certain way. I could see they were creating a never-ending cycle of self-defeating behavior. It wasn’t until I saw some of my friends suffer from eating disorders and other body image related issues that I understood this problem stemmed farther than just my friend base. During one of my classes in my last year of college I noticed an unhealthily skinny girl who continually showcased a rotation of stick-thin models on her computer backdrop. Her struggle to attain a physical ideal was plainly obvious, as was watching her lose herself in a spiral of self-loathing. I desperately wanted to tell her that what made her special was found within herself.
During all of this, I started brainstorming how I could help people that were dealing with these issues. An amateur artist, I experimented with hand painting graphics on t-shirts as holiday gifts for my friends including text that read “the monument of our hearts” in the designs. The text was inspired by the idea that our hearts are where our desire to impact the world manifests itself and that my generation can serve as the monument for future generations as an enduring example of changing people’s lives for the better.

Morning shadow of Mt. Baker on the skyline – Mt. Baker, WA
The desire to climb a mountain is a bit silly if you think about it; You exhaust your muscles entirely, suffer through biting cold temperatures, and accept the risk that if something goes wrong you may not come down the mountain alive. In theory it sounds entirely irrational to put yourself up to such an endeavor. However, I see it as an insatiable challenge and opportunity to absorb myself into the beauty of the wilderness.

This summer when I spent a week in Washington training in alpine climbing I had time to learn, time to channel and contest my desire to someday take on Everest. As an avid adventure aficionado, one of my goals for this past year was to learn the essentials of mountaineering which led me on a week long trip to N. Washington in the Cascade Mountains (the pic below sums this range up pretty nicely).
Summit of Mt. Baker (3,286 M) – Mt. Baker, WA
Over the course of my time in the mountains I endured a personal paradigm shift. The beginning of the climb I meditated on the American philosophy of efficiency climbing with little care or awareness of the beauty that was around. As the sun rose a remarkable thing happened, I saw the beauty of the sun gleaning in the crevasses, beautifully strong rock formations chiseled by centuries of harsh winds, and most importantly, the determination and joy in the faces of my fellow climbers. It was at that point in time when I realized why I was there.

Rather than focusing on defeating one of earths most intimidating natural formations or efficiently navigating the mountain terrain, I wanted to simply be; exist and observe the beauty found in the outdoors. Over the past few months, it has led me to think about how I chose to live my life shifting my focus on the future to the present. Thank you mountains for your continual lessons and beauty. Below is a quote by John Muir, whom I look up to, who had a zest for the outdoors more than any other of the 20th century.

Each of us holds a powerful story
Posted by – April 12, 2010
I’ve been thinking a lot recently on the power of stories.
Every one of us is living out our own story. We are putting pen to paper as we live the day to day, make decisions, set forth on adventures, find love, lose love, and find love once again in something unexpected. Every now and then, I’ll look back on the chapters in my life story and reminisce of fond memories, remind myself of lessons learned, and plot the high points and lows. This is all done so that I can ensure that when my life story is complete it can be looked upon as something rich with meaning, adventure, joy, and fulfilling relationships.
This story would be no fairytale, however, it would be real and raw, exposing the low points where poor decisions were made, pain was felt, and experiences of self-doubt, inadequacy, and vulnerability overcame myself. When I think about sharing my story with others, these are always the chapters that I want to keep to myself because of the pain and shame that is evoked during those times. However, as hard as these memories may be to share with others, these are where I allow others to peer into the caverns of my soul, helping people to learn through my own experience. That makes my story powerful.
We all have a story. It may not be like the tale of Frodo Baggins of Lord of the Rings or Jake Sully in Avatar but it doesn’t mean our story isn’t any less important to relay to others. Each of us holds a powerful story and it is when we communicate this that we see this power our life story can exhibit.
We are all storytellers. Let us all be storytellers and change lives through sharing the stories that are written inside our hearts.
