Care for Some Forest Bathing? #MondayBlogs #forestbathing
Forest bathing is as important when you’re working from home as when you’re not. Maybe even more so.
The Joy of Aging … Not #MondayBlogs #bodyimage
I have an essay published in Crow’s Feet on Medium, where I write about my battle with my aging skin. No lotion, no potion can turn back time, it seems. You can read it here: https://medium.com/crows-feet/why-i-want-to-lose-my-battle-against-my-aging-skin-867f3a2ac070?source=friends_link&sk=65d56350a699d02cea9970c90e8db885 Soon after this post goes live, I’ll update my avatar … again.

One Day in the Life of Me #socialanxiety #9to5life #yoga
Please don’t doubt that I know I’m lucky to have a full-time job with benefits. Still, my fuse is short and my sensitivity to principle is deep.
Rambling Thoughts #MondayBlogs #lifehappens
A couple of friends recently emailed me, asking if I was okay. Not only have I not been blogging over the last several weeks, I haven’t even been visiting my friends’ blogs. Life happens. Shortly after our return from our best-road-trip-ever, I was told that one of my cousins was […]
