    Notes from Rio (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Dear homebody friends, I am well into my location agnostic trek, which has landed me in Rio for the last couple of weeks. This journey is letting me experience my own body as a case study for exploring how changing environments influences our capacity to feel safe, hopeful, and fully available to participate in the visions we dream for ourselves.Because everybody is unique, my experiments are an invitation to explore where you might have a little more choice or agency over how you feel inside yo

    Maybe I'm not having an existential crisis. I've just been living under fluorescent lights. (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    It’s been a doozy of a week. A real emotional roller coaster and it seems the operator forgot to stop the ride. I keep looping around the metal trellis trying to figure out why I feel so dizzy.Someone close to me is not well and I can’t deny how heavily it weighs on my heart. Despite my own rendezvous with addiction, it’s a real beast to witness. Maybe it’s even harder because I remember the inside of it. The rage. The resentment. The blame and eventual waves of shame. Now on the outside, powerl

    I am carrying more than I need.The reality sank in rather painfully as I schlepped around luggage weighing as much as a tiny human in Sao Paolo airport at 4:45 in the morning. The trip was cumbersome, departing from Asuncion at 2:50am, collecting my luggage in Sao Paolo to pass through immigration, and rechecking it to make the next flight. All told, I scrambled to make the next flight to Rio, despite having more than two hours between arrival and departure.I only learned the next flight was del

    Comfort, my cage (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I could write a dissertation on my comfort zone. My diet. My habits. My whys and my why nots. Anyone that’s ever lived with me knows that I am a hard type A, even if I sometimes successfully pull off a laid back presentation—it’s only a temporary guise. Lately, I’ve been taking a wrecking ball to all of my little rules and preferences, blasting through my illusions and exposing the ways comfort has been keeping me stuck.The universe has a funny way of organizing itself around the curriculum at h
