Why subscribe?

Hi, I am Dave Ellingson and I welcome you to Paddle Pilgrim.

My adventures in Life, Relationships, and Spirit lead me to reflect on life’s deeper meaning and share what I am learning along the way. Through my Ponders and Podcasts, I hope to inspire, encourage, entertain, and maybe even elicit a chuckle.

Subscribers are offered two subscriptions: Free and paid. Both allow access to my posts. If you choose to donate, know that those $ will go to my grandkids college scholarship fund.

I plan to post a Ponder or a Podcast every couple weeks…as the Spirit moves! I appreciate your comments along the journey and paddle boldly!
