It has been a little over one month since I started sleeping outdoors regularly. I highly recommend it if it’s safe to do so where you live. (I have a hammer, an air horn, and bear spray in my tent, so I’m well-secured.) I sleep better (more soundly) according to my Fitbit reports,

As a follow up to yesterday’s blog post re the TedX Talk I’d give if I ever gave a TedX talk, I want to mention the value of “tone”. Part of expressing kindness, and being kind, is one of “tone.” Instead of being as obstreperous as the other side (and I’m referring to both

My kidney doctor says my medical checkup tests all came back within their usual parameters (no changes to my kidney function) except that I’m anemic and I apparently have an infection happening somewhere inside my body. So, I had her send my lab results to my PCP, who has ordered some additional tests to see

In the past two weeks, I’ve landed two new clients, both of whom will be using me every other week or so for the foreseeable future. One of them has already given me a fabulous review, but that’s because I served her once or twice before, years ago, and she knows I deliver each and
Swapped out my summertime backyard campsite for a winterized version this week. I plan to keep sleeping outside for as long as possible It was a foregone conclusion that I was going to enjoy sleeping outside; I just didn’t know how enjoyable it would be, now that I’m 72-going-on-73 (in March 2024).
