2025-07-02 Welcome to July

After my last post a friend of mine messaged me and said “good luck doing nothing.” Or something like that and it’s true… I set an intention for June to do less. I wanted to minimize the pressure I constantly feel to do more or counterbalance that feeling that I’m never doing enough. How frustrating…

2025-06-02 Live and Let Go

I’ve started a few new pieces of writing in the last month and haven’t finished a single one. Well, at least not to the point of posting or sharing with anyone. My mood on a daily basis has been unpredictable, and I’m in the upside down. What should bring me me joy does not, yet…

2025-04-27 Asked and Answered: Insights from I Ching Hexagram 64

This week I’ve failed to finish (or even start) most items on my to-do list. I had a convo with my work wife, M, about this and we’re both suffering the same paralysis trying to get out of the gate. My mind is spinning and unable to stop long enough to focus on a task,…

A few days ago it was the Ides of March and I didn’t even remember or notice. How could I when the whole week had gone horribly wrong. It was a real roller coaster of migraine and neck pain and emotional turmoil. I’d barely crawled out of one hole just to find I was in…

2025-03-02 For the Joy of It

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about joy. And more specifically about how to feel more joy, and measure it. Measure joy?? That sounds like crazy talk but I’d like to think that if we can have benchmarks and goals around other aspects of our health, why can’t our emotional state be included…

2025-01-09 Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That

Bronchitis. It’s a bummer. I’ve been feeling unwell off and on for about a month. Each time I feel like I’m starting to feel better, I take another turn and get worse again. Yeah… really rotten. I’m still feeling pretty positive about life in general, but man, it would be even better if I could…
