Last year was an interesting year for me. I was introduced to the world of somatic experiencing by a very good friend and it has changed everything for me. There is a range of somatic methods and applications and at the core of them is the concept that we are a full being and ourContinueContinue reading “Somatics Changed My Life”

One thing I’ve done recently that had a big impact on my health was to work with a personal trainer (online). I wasn’t really sure what that would be like so I thought I’d share why I found one to work with and how that went for me in case others are curious. Why aContinueContinue reading “Working with a Personal Trainer”

Two years ago today I started yet another new exercise plan. I’d been stopping and starting with exercise over the previous year, but I just hadn’t been able to get it to stick. This time however, I’ve managed to keep it going. I’ve done some form of exercise at least 3 days a week forContinueContinue reading “Two Years of Healthy Changes”

Wow, it’s been almost 4 years since I’ve blogged. Certainly not the first break I’ve had in many years of having a blog, but this was a good long one. Since I last blogged I’ve been pretty busy and haven’t really felt like trying to articulate the normalcy of my life. For a quick catch-up,ContinueContinue reading “Catching Up”

I’ve been in a couple of courses that had me dive into myself first. Knowing who you are, and what motivates you, has a huge impact onContinueContinue reading “Are My Values Really My Values?”

My focus has been on work, travel, and the open source community of Drupal, but everyone has their own do, do, do demons. My mainContinueContinue reading “Making space”

Last week I took a walk around my neighborhood on the way to Valbyparken. I love taking a stroll in a place with a camera and no particular agenda. These are all down Trekronergade, not far from my apartment in Valby. Three crowns street. No light, but color. Buildings speak of food.

One year ago I gave away most of my belongings, packed my bags and left home, or at least what had been home. I was running away from a life that had left me confused and feeling stranded, and running towards… something else. I knew not what. I’ve been living in various cities for theContinueContinue reading “A year of wandering”

While most of the U.S. and Europe are being pummeled by winter weather, I’ve been wearing flip-flops and shorts, and eating my way through Montevideo, Uruguay. It is summer here in the southern hemisphere, which is exactly why I’m here and not there. Most people get the idea of heading south for the winter, butContinueContinue reading “Sunny, Lovely Uruguay”
