About
Why does this blog exist?
It all started with a question that I couldn’t answer. “What do I want”? I didn’t know, but more importantly, I didn’t even know how to find out. But, I knew that if I couldn’t answer this question, that I would never be able to get to where I wanted to be, because I wouldn’t even know what that looked like. This blog is the result, and the process, for that question and the search for that answer.
You carry with you at all times a map, a blueprint, and a guide (and any other reference materials you can think of) for the type of life that you want to live. But, you have to be able to access that map, that blueprint, and that guide to understand where it is you want to get to. We spend a lot of time concentrating on how to have relationships with other people, but we don’t pay nearly enough attention to how to have a relationship with ourselves. No one else can be an expert on you, simply because you are the only one with access to that information. And that information is what will allow you to act powerfully; to be able to create your internal vision on the canvas of your external life. But, first, you have to know what your internal vision is.
What is the purpose of this Blog?
Look Far is intended to explore how you gain Self Awareness and how you use that awareness to actively participate in the creation of your life, while fostering an environment of self exploration for like minds who are searching for what they want, even if they don’t know what that is yet.

- How do you come to know yourself?
- How do you use that knowledge to create the life that you want?
Her sense of Diplomacy tends to a desire to keep all situations happy, peaceful and calm, and an obsession with Balance and a love of Beautiful Things round out her charming Libran qualities.
