Wait, you threw an axe? Yes. Yes, I did. For about a half an hour, in fact. I went out to meet someone for bowling, but decided to go axe throwing before I went home. Why?

Giving Gardening a Go
Container Gardening counts, right? I should clarify that I am a plant murderer. I have killed Peace Lillies, cacti, snake plants, ivy, air plants...everything that is supposed to grow, no matter what. Not just once, either. I've killed multiples of each of those poor plants. The only thing I haven't killed, knock wood, is my … Continue reading Giving Gardening a Go

Biofield Tuning
When I was at the acupressure yoga event I realized the person using tuning forks on me was actually a practitioner of Biofield Tuning. Kara is the owner of Anahata Healing Arts and is an absolutely remarkable woman. I can almost hear you saying, "Wait, What?"...

Acupressure yoga in a salt cave certainly wasn't on my radar before I embarked on this journey, but now that I've tried it I think I might be persuaded to like yoga after all.
That moment of realization
When I realized I was almost entirely burned out I decided to start looking into ways to feel less...I was going to say tired, but let's not pretend I was doing better than I actually was. In all honesty, I was exhausted. Just do a search. That's what the internet is for. Simple, right? Not … Continue reading That moment of realization
