You can't get a job without an address, but you can't get an address without a job. Where's the middle ground? >> Here's a TINY idea. More »
Think Tiny. Do More.
Tiny House +
The face of homelessness and the working-poor has changed drastically since the housing-bubble burst. I aim to be one part of the solution and building this Tiny House is the first step. This will be my home, my mobile office, a testing ground where I learn what not to do, […] More »
My Heroes Don’t Wear Capes
(or "Meet My Friend, Jordan") There's a trend I'm seeing and I couldn't be more proud of my fellow human beings. YOU WANT TO READ THIS. Spread the word! More »
The Tiny House Adventure (pt.1)
You want to be a part of this. Seriously. And I’m doing what I can to make it easy for you! More »
How Metrics Are Ruining Your Life

EpicTrip: Australia
Australia: it’s not really trying to kill you. Yes, the most dangerous versions of everything live in Australia, but you probably won’t see any of them in Sydney. More »
Adventure: These Boots are Made for Walking
My friend graciously offered up her apartment during my stay while she traveled for work — a fabulous location right up the hill from Luna Park in North Sydney. The down side: only crossing paths with my friend for about 20 minutes. The up side: the gift of my friend’s […] More »

Adventure: Hiking Coogee to Bondi
Ideal weather conditions for a 4 mile hike? Rain. Not the “tie up the cars so they don’t float away” kind of rain but the “is this rain? …it’s kind of misty… oh, wait! Big drops now! …nope, misty again… I like the drowned-rat look. It works for me” kind […] More »
Adventure: Manly Beach
Haven’t stopped giggling since I heard about this beach and the ferry ride to get there. (Inside, I’m 12.) More »
2013: Amazeballs
This year has been amazing. Almost a reward for surviving 2007-2012 without any felonies. More »
The Epic Trip
I’m calling it the “Epic Trip.” It’s aptly named because this is my first international travel experience and I’ll be taking two months to visit four countries. Doing things halfway isn’t in my nature, so here goes! More »
Of Wind and Light
I love the way sunlight tries to make its way through tree leaves… It either passes between the leaves or marks its blocker with brilliance — lighting ablaze each leaf thwarting its path. Wind, on the other hand, pushes leaves out of its way, or goes around when it cannot. […] More »
Epicurious? Try Flavors Restaurant & Bar
At an unassuming building just one block away from all the hubub of Roswell Rd., I parked my car in the sparsely populated lot and did my best to avoid getting wet between my car and the door. For a Mediterranean restaurant, I had expected more noise, louder music, and […] More »
2012: In Review
The Year of the Dragon Roller Coaster. This past year was full of extremes: rampant illness and remarkable health, rudderless uncertainty and crystal clear clarity, temper tantrums and long hugs, ruts of consistency and drastic change, debilitating sorrow and euphoric joy. 2012 was a roller coaster, and just like […] More »
How Did We Get Here? …and How Do We Change It?
Perspective. That’s really what we’re looking for. It’s what we need in order to make sense of what we see and hear. It’s what is required if we’re going to effectively change any of the things that are disturbing. My hope is that this provides a little perspective, and may […] More »
Sandwich…?
It wasn’t long ago that bread could be called “friend,” but that was before it tried to kill me. More »
Round is a Myth
I’ve never heard anyone refer to themselves as a “round-peg”. If “pegs” are mentioned, it’s always in reference to how we don’t fit and are simply the ever-present square-peg. More »
Photo-A-Day (sort of)
I began this project with the notion that I would take and/or select one photo each day and write a paragraph to go with it. Soon, very-very soon, I realized that I had not yet developed the discipline to sit down and do this every day, so it became more […] More »
Cheshire-Speak
I just had Wordle.net analyze this blog to see how frequently particular words are used… and I must say, this is one that I’d like to print, paste to my mirror, and begin each day reading. (Click the thumbnail below to go to Wordle.net and view the full-size version.) More »
