My daily rhythm
A daily rhythm can serve as the metronome for the song of your life.I first learned about setting a daily rhythm through Waldorf education. By providing a regular daily series of events, a child can easily transition from one stage to the next.Having three small children in a small house, we created a wonderful daily rhythm, allowing everyone to do the things they love to do every day.5:00 AM - AwakenThe first thing I do every single day is lie [...]
Sugar is good for your BRAIN!
One of the peculiar novelties about Costa Rica is the cultural belief that sugar has lots of health benefits. This could be due to copious planting and harvesting of sugar cane within the country, or it could be because there are not very many country-wide communications except for advertising. Unlike the United States, you can say anything you want in advertising here, without getting sued. I have translated the claims on these sugar packets so you can see what I [...]

End of the World Domination Summit – Day 3 #WDS2013
An Exceptional Experience. (You can read about Day One and Day Two of my time at the World Domination Summit if you need to catch up.) The volunteers, in particular, really rocked it.

At the end of the conference, they somehow managed to distribute 2800 champagne flutes of sparkling apple cider to [...]
Thank you, Mercury Retrograde – Day 2 #WDS2013
I now accept the unexpected during Mercury Retrograde, which has given me the ability to ride its currents into magical new places. I'll give you an example. (It's a long story, so stick with me.) I missed my MAX stop at the end of a long day at the World Domination Summit, and a series of unfortunate events gave me an incredible gift, found at the end of a path paved with the unexpected. Without all of these mishaps together, [...]
Perfect day in Portland – Day 1 #WDS2013
This was easily one of the best days of my life. The day started with a 45 minute bike ride into downtown Portland, along the Willamette bluff, watching the city rise and wake. I found a place to meditate, and then I rode through the ever-expanding Pearl District, going to revisit old familiar landmarks, and places where I've lived and worked over the past 15 years, places I haven't seen for the last two years I've been living in Costa [...]
