This is a topic that feels a little strange for me to write about because there was a time in my life when I would not accept accountability in any form. To say I reacted badly when anyone tried to hold me accountable would be a massive understatement. I wasn’t willing to let others do…

I was remembering a conversation I had many years ago. At the time, I had just gone from building power lines to working in IT for a massive online trading corporation with offices around the country. It was a big shift, not just in the work itself, but in the culture. I had to learn…

My wife said something this morning that made us both laugh. She looked at me and said, “You’re always in a good mood now, even when you haven’t slept… and it’s kind of creepy!” She said it because I hadn’t slept well last night, yet here I was this morning still happy, still in a…

I’ve never met an addict who didn’t carry some form of trauma, and addiction itself becomes its own kind of trauma. But here’s a cool story that…

What could possibly happen on a walk? More than I could have ever imagined before. That’s for sure. I’ve increased the time and length of my daily walks and just being outdoors more in general. It’s easier this time of year because Spring is finally starting to show itself here in Santa Fe, and the…

Every morning I have a cup of hot Earl Grey tea. Some people have to have their coffee, I have to have my tea. I feel completely “off” if I don’t have that cup of tea. It’s not just the warmth or the caffeine, though the caffeine is definitely a factor. It’s the time and…
