About

I Live The Good Life. And I write about it.

Specifically I write about My Journey, My Perspectives, My Passions, and My Projects.

That is what I write about. Now the details.

My Journey-

I am on a journey to Go Live The Good Life.  www.golivethegoodlife.com

You are Living The Good Life when you:

#1 Enjoy Life

#2 Pursue Wholerness in 7 Life Trajectory Factors  www.lifetrajectoryfactors.com and

#3 Make a Difference

Those are the 3 primary elements of The Good Life. There is a fourth Good Life Element. The first three apply to everyone. The fourth only applies to a few tortured souls. To see all 4 Good Life Elements go to www.goodlifeelements.com

The opposite of The Good Life is The Common Life. I spent too much of my living The Common Life while longing for more without really being sure of how to make that happen. I now battle to live The Good Life, and you can do the same. If you would like to know more about The Common Life, check out this link:  www.golivethecommonlife.com

I started this website in December 2009, and since then, I have been sharing my journey. To read about my journey before December 2009 (and to get some idea on how I got to where I am) go to the “Journey” page of this website - www.stevenshomler.com/journey/

My Perspectives -

I regularly blog about my perspectivse on The Good Life and its 4 Elements as well as other topics.

My Passions-

Part of enjoying life (Good Life Primary Element #1) is engaging in activities that feed the soul that you are, activities that restore and replenish you. Some of the activities that feed the soul that I am are Movies, Books, and Great Dining. Consequently, I regularly engage in these activities and blog about them. I call recreational activities that feed the soul that you are – Vitality Pursuits. www.vitalitypursuits.com

My Projects -

I have a number of projects that I am working on. Here are two of them:

#1 – I Love Food Carts and I have a website devoted to them – Portland Food Cart Adventures  www.PortlandFoodCartAdventures.com

#2  - Professionally I do quite a bit of pastoral marriage counseling. For many years I had a Terrible Marriage. Now I have a Great Marriage.   I use the pain and lessons from my marriage journey to help couple with theirs. My Marriage website is Battle For a Great Marriage  - www.BattleForaGreatMarriage.com. I use that website to augment my marriage counseling. I will often direct couples to a certain article on that website and  ask them review it and talk about it together before out next session.

I am also writing a book about marriage as well as a book about sex for married couples. Many of the ideas on my marriage website will make their way into those two books.

There you go, that is what this website is about - My Journey, My Perspectives, My Passions, and My Projects.

That’s It,

Steven Shomler
