I Went to the Chiropractor
Last year, after much deliberation, an appropriate amount of drama, and just enough neck pain to push me over the edge, I decided to go to the chiropractor for the first time.

The Year of “Faith”
It is always an interesting experience to sit down and write about my word of the year, from the other side of the year.

17 Goals for 2021 (List-cember #8)

200 Day Time Capsule Blog #6
It should come as a surprise to no one that this time capsule is a little grim, mostly because it’s been 200 days and things are not exactly radically better than they were for our last letter. I started the letter with, “I can only hope things are good, because they are a little rough… Continue reading
