After the Storm [Hurricane Ian 2022]
It’s been intimidating trying to capture the experiences of the storm we just weathered here in southwest Florida. The first hurricane I remember was Hurricane Andrew.

Sharing Needles Today I’m laid back in a lazy boy, sharing needles with half a dozen other humans at my local community acupuncture clinic.

Read MoreWhy I’m Not an Amazon Affiliate Anymore
Why I’m Not an Amazon Affiliate Anymore Lots of coaches and consultants support their revenue model by getting a tiny percentage of the sales they refer over to Amazon. In fact there was a time when we did it too. But then it felt weird. If you know me as a friend,…
Read MoreAutomations + Tech Hacks for Better Sleep
Automations + Tech Hacks for Sleeping + Waking: This week I reflected on how much better my physical energy, mental clarity, and emotional flexibility is when I’m sleeping and waking on a steady schedule, directed by light. When I’m camping, I can get away with letting the sun schedule my sleep and wake times.…
Read MoreLiving by Light
Living by Light Whenever I’m camping, I fall into the rhythm of sunset and sunrise. The natural bedtime grows in the space allowed by putting my phone to bed and listening to the chatter of the wild. As sleep settles in a rhythm, the waking follows with ease, carried on the glow of sunrise. …
