Simple(r) Kind of Life

Assumption: When you go NYC, you've got to go big or go home.

I'm thrilled to report that Life in Repair (#LIR2012), a mental health breakie, was a success! I'm feeling like myself again; much less irritable + less chronically fatigued.

So much to catch up on...

Life In Repair: Mental Health Breakie

Assumption: A slip is the inevitable precursor of a face-plant.

The last few weeks + this past week in particular has been intense + activity-filled. So much so, that I'm recognizing the early warning signs of imminent meltdown. Well... imminent if I attempt to power through.

LTD 2012: NYC 1/22-25

Assumption: If you're poor, you can't have ANY fun...
You especially can't go gallivanting around.

So, WTF is LTD2012?

A year ago I took a Living The Dream (LTD) tour of the east coast. I'm keeping the tradition alive with another pilgrimage to NYC, Sunday, 1/22 to Wednesday, 1/25. 

Music as Medicine: Part 1 of ?

Assumption: Music is a nice-to-have luxury.

For me, 2011 was characterized by revelations + rediscoveries. Rediscoveries of self + of what I knew/embraced 10-15 years ago as a teenager, but for a variety of reasons discounted, rejected or outright forgot over the course of living.

Music as emotional medicine is one of those rediscoveries.
