Sweating for Wellness

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 […]

The Power of Vitamin D

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.

Quietude: A Tribute To a Magical Mermaid

Tomorrow, January 9, 2024, I am elated to announce the release of my new book, Quietude.  A little background on the book:  A few years ago, Adi challenged me to write a book with a female protagonist.  I started this little novella and wrote about 4 chapters before putting it aside until inspiration struck me. Cut to late summer of 2023—I had a big idea for a four-part book that I began writing called I’Eternal.  My goal was to make this book my magnum opus (I know, pretty bold!) and I began in earnest writing.  I grappled with this really

Quietude: A Prologue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBxNdyT4vBU&t=5s Opening Widsom’s Door ⚛︎ “The quieter you become the more you are able to hear.” Many believed Rumi to be quite simple; in reality, her silence spoke of a wisdom that few understood.  She came into this world a stranger, and she left as a stranger.  It was rumored that she remained in silence for more than five years before eventually ending her fast on the spoken word.  When she finally broke her silence her first words were less than profound. “I’m quite thirsty,” she said.  “May I have some water?” The request was quickly granted, and it was
