A Porter near Sheerto Pokari on the 2008 Secret Spot Tilman Trek

This update was supposed to be the next 2008 Secret Spot Tilman Trek Reloaded dispatch...but there hasn't been any time...the last two weeks have been outrageous. Absolutely dynamic...in every sense of the word. It's been a time to make decisions...it's been an incredibly challenging time...and a time to work towards realizing beautiful dreams that, until recently, had seemed very far off. The end of May could be a particularly powerful time for positive energy to touch every part of the collective being. If you subscribe to the Secret Spot Seven Summits blog (www.phillmichael.com) ...NOW, you'll see exactly what I'm referring to...THEN! =^]


Dawa, Pula, Dende and Phill start to lay the foundations of the SherpaSchool.ORG

A year ago today, I was in the village of Dawa's birth...laying the foundations for the SherpaSchool.ORG ...while being in awe of my environs...and of Urgen Sherpa (Dawa's father). With Age comes Wisdom.


Urgen Sherpa lights THE Way!

Today, I spent some time talking to an old friend who has often graciously taken time to plant some gems in my tiny brain and nurture my Adventurous Soul. We talked about purpose...we talked about the importance of focusing on endeavors that better humanity. We talked about these same things almost twelve years ago...while we were piloting a boat through harsh seas that were battering a remote, northern coastline. Thank you Dan. =^)


Dan and Phill consider the future in September 2009

When we discover our true purpose...we discover who we really are...and that's when we can really and truly start to make a difference in our world. Shimbuno! B^)


Ang Dawa Sherpa and Phill Michael enjoy KTM traffic in Spring of 2009

Dawa (the Pizza Sherpa) and I (the Baby Monk) were riding around the Kathmandu (KTM) Valley on the Mini Time Machine last Spring...making things happen for Phuri Sherpa's (Dawa's nephew) heart surgery. If you click on the play button below and/or download the following video, you will see what a typical afternoon is like, while on a motorcycle, in the KTM region. Enjoy! B^)
