Amsterdam: A Love Story

Leave a Comment / Blog, Travel / By /

Listen on Spotify Spring in Amsterdam brings the tulips. Big, luscious tulips that illuminate the city and breathe life into a community that has just awakened from a winter soon long forgotten. This is the city that Adi and I discovered as we paraded around town on our first day after our arrival. The smell of marijuana permeated the air and as I looked around, I saw a city that seemed exceptionally at peace with itself. All the things that many of us seem to suffer from—guilt and shame, prejudice and discontent, angst, and ambition—they all appeared to be noticeable […]

When in Rome

When in Rome…

Listen on Spotify When the sun rises over Rome, a new city is born. Rome leaves behind her nighttime alter ego and becomes a much different city in the daytime. The tourists come out during the day pointing their cameras at everything that resembles history and the locals try and sell them every trinket under the sun in order to make a euro. Rome welcomes everyone and knows that she will be standing long after both the tourists and even the locals are long gone. Rome is a survivor. When you have been around as long as Rome there is

Ayurveda, Infrared Saunas, and the Path to Holistic Health It was that time of year once again.  Sauna time.  Adi cheerfully reminded me that I haven’t been parking in the sauna lately and she convinced me to start once again making a reservation inside  our infrared sauna. In fairness, I have let this good habit slip by me lately and intuitively I knew it was time to start getting back into the sauna. I know how important this Health Hack is and it comes with a myriad of benefits.  The temperatures have dropped into the 30s at night once again

Illuminating Health: “Get out in the sun and take your shirt off,” Adi commanded.  This wasn’t foreplay, this was a directive. “You need to expose your skin to the sun at least once a day so you can soak up that lovely Vitamin D.” To any guy out there who has been married, you know the drill.  You have two choices.  1) Fight it and make life difficult until you finally relent and just do what you were asked. 2) Just do what you’re asked to do and ask as few questions as possible to eliminate the rather lengthly reply.
