I like the chakra system and think about it often. I know it’s not an exact science (heck, even science isn’t an exact science) and there are variations, yet I’ve come to understand an energetic system that makes sense to me based on what I’ve learned from others and what I’ve learned from myself through […]

If you’ve been following my work, you know I love matcha green tea. I’ve been drinking it daily since 2008 and here are the reasons why.

During my second year of college (c. 1988) I deliberately did a very unkind thing to a stranger. One day as I was jogging I found a beautiful Banana Republic floral silk scarf on the sidewalk. Naturally, I picked it up and took it home delighting in my rare luck. A couple of days later […]

It’s clear to me that those who are in pursuit of life, liberty, happiness, and wellness need to declare health independence from the corporatized disease-care system partially or completely. As with many American institutions, profit has become the focus at the expense of true health freedom. Healthy people are bad for business (they don’t need […]

The SAD versus The SVD

Once upon a time the average person didn’t need to know too much about nutrition. They ate food because that’s what was available. Since then food science has taken a turn into the obscure with artificial, super-refined, and processed sweeteners, colors, flavors, and fillers which have created food-like edibles in place of real food.
