    1 Second Everyday: Age 33

    It has taken me a while to get caught up on life admin stuff since returning from 5 months on the Pacific Crest Trail, including fun things like compiling my annual 1 second video. I usually publish these closer to my birthday as my birthday is the start and end of each video. As it…

    1 Second Everyday: Age 32

    Oh, I guess I forgot to share this since I turned 33 (my birthday is the start and end of these videos) while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail last year.

    Year in Review: 2023

    I hope this letter finds you and yours off to a beautiful start in 2024. Sitting down to write most of this annual letter is one of my favorite holiday season activities, usually done in the weeks leading up to Christmas. We had a flurry of unexpected activity at the end of the year, drawing…

    5+ months on the Pacific Crest Trail

    I’m busy trying to get things together to finally get my annual New Year’s letter finished, but I thought I would share a brief update on how my 2023 hike on the Pacific Crest Trail went. Also, I’m happy to publicly share the creative projects that came out of this experience: the writing I did…

    Off to the Pacific Crest Trail

    The stars have finally aligned and I’ll be attempting a thru-hike of the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail this year. I’m hoping to write some extensive posts about the journey upon my return, but in the interim you can find some lightweight updates from the trail on my Substack. As these will be posted from the…

    Year in Review: 2022

    I hope this finds you and yours enjoying the fresh start of a new year. As I browse the photos on my phone to jog my memory, it always surprises me how much I have already forgotten from the previous year. It makes me wish I had started these years earlier – capturing the context…

    Like last year but with more cat clips, trips, house projects, and mountain life.

    Year in Review: 2021

    I hope this finds you and yours healthy and happy after another holiday season. The most notable change from last year happened to be a change of address. If I was going to own cats that could end up living for two decades, I might as well double down on life commitments: Shawn and I…

    1 Second Everyday: Age 30

    Given the months leading up to my 30th birthday, I had pretty low expectations for the first year of this next decade. While it was certainly quieter than years past, it was full of moments that were beautiful in their own right.

    1 Second Everyday: 28 & 29

    I’m in the midst of editing together my “1 Second Everyday” project for age 30. It just occurred to me that I somehow forgot to post age 29 last year in the midst of all the pandemic craziness. Okay, it wasn’t all pandemic. It seems I didn’t post age 28 either, ha! Turning 30 went…
