On the Threshold of Spring
“How are you feeling?” I’ve come to hate that question. When I know it’s coming, I brace myself for it. I run through potential answers in my head, tossing some aside, tweaking others until I settle upon a response. Like … Continue reading

Trench Vibe
winter winds whip on the front lines of all things health + wealth + being + nothingness + that which lies within mindfulness on steroids, escaping deeply alert and ever watchful, losing sleep focused when it’s called for: track, weigh, … Continue reading

Going Dark
I’m pretty sure that 10 years ago people didn’t have to “go dark” when they had a down spell. I think we just kept to ourselves a bit. We didn’t accept invitations, certainly didn’t invite anyone over. And then, enter … Continue reading

When being “off track” is on track

My soul was itchy. When I think about what started my Year of Radical Wellness, that’s the best way I can describe it. There was nothing “wrong” per se. But just because nothing is wrong doesn’t mean there isn’t a … Continue reading
At Peace.

For those of you who have followed my blogging journey, you know that I started writing blog entries in 2008 (tucked away safely in a file on my computer, for nobody else to see!), a full 6 years before I … Continue reading
