I'm not a Burning Man "Lady", but this 7 minute clip is sparkly, colourful and fun! It also shows the immense creativity us humans have. An EASY watch, yet still thought provoking. Enjoy! Irene. http://www.youtube.com/embed/ahv_1IS7SiE
In July 2010 I decided to leave Whistler for a six month hiatus. I drove many many miles in my trusty station wagon. I visited many great friends and colleagues. I followed my gut. My instincts led me. It was glorious. During the tail end of the trip I [...]
Yesterday was a big pause. I'm back from NYC and it seems airline travel wipes me out much more these days than a few years ago. My system is a heck of a lot more sensitive to being pressurized. Perhaps it is 'age', but I'm quite sure it is [...]

I was wearing my open-toed Birkenstock sandals when BAM! “Ouch, #!^*…Oh, that REALLY hurts...” An uneven slab of sidewalk had put an abrupt stop to the forward motion of my second toe [...]
I want to cultivate a tribe of folk who are truly interested in becoming 'curators' of their own bodies. I've written more about this idea here, but in essence, here's the shortened version: When we actually understand how our body works, what its default states & grooves are, how to [...]
