It was late afternoon on a too-warm summer day. The afternoon light was filtering in through the screens surrounding the porch I was sitting on. My Dad was talking to me about something or other from outside. There was a lull in the conversation. I had been caught up in thoughts all day and suddenly, [...]

A friend of mine is decorating her apartment and wanted some of my photographs on the walls. So I made her a special ordering page with some very low prices. I figured I may as well offer the same to you as well.
September Photo Sale
I'll leave this sale page up through the end of September. [...]

Jess helped me move my office around Friday night trying to find a setup that's more fitting and less wasteful. I think I may have found something that works. I'm quite happy about this as it had been a source of frustration for quite a while. The room was unusable as it was and always [...]

Body
I went 48 hours without solid food. Then I starting eating one meal a day testing both my food addiction and my potential food allergies. I had to stop the "toxin flush" portion of the cleanse because it made getting to work in the morning absolutely impossible since I needed to spend about 2 hours [...]

The body portion of this Cleanse is going quite well. I've also learned that a drastically reduced calorie lifestyle can really make a difference in how I feel.
Pros:

I have lots of energy. Lots!
My Libido has increased (I guess this is a Pro. Ugh. Send provisions, or at least photos of them! Stat!).
I feel lighter on [...]

I've taken a hard look at all of relationships I have that I consider important or meaningful. I try to live without expectations of others but, over time, they build themselves up. I believe that I good chunk of my current frustrations is due to these unmet expectations. A good friend of mine put it [...]

Right now I'm starving. However, I know that I'm not hungry. I've gone much longer than this without food before without even starting to feel hungry. But I'm restless. And my body equates that with hunger and it shouldn't. That's only one of the many reasons for this cleanse.
The "body" portion is basically a very [...]

Today I'm starting a cleansing ritual: body, mind, soul. The details of how and why are quite personal and complicated. But I'll tell bits and pieces as I feel like I can. The process itself isn't even that straight forward. Some of it is clear, others have to be invented as I go along. It's [...]

I can be intense. Too intense for some people, I think. I'm trying to work on this and figure out how to control it more.
Twice this week people I don't communicate with very often have commented on how fast I respond to emails. A friend mentioned that she had forgotten while I was out of [...]
