Instagrammers, we thank you for reminding us why this is home
A year ago I wrote that what I loved most about the Wellness Almanac's instagram project is it gave my brain a chance to override it's snap judgments and linger a while with people from my community.

Sam McKoy guides us into adventure, deep snow and some personal inquiry
This is Sam. Sam did an instagram takeover for us and each post was a meaty thought-provoking blog, and so much more than a photo caption or a quick throwaway remark. This week, the instagram becomes the blog, and we get a chance to put ourselves in the hands of a thoughtful young guide. Over … Continue reading Sam McKoy guides us into adventure, deep snow and some personal inquiry

Even MLAs have rough days and need a wellness check-in: Jordan Sturdy looks back on his week as our instagrammer-in-chief

I mean, at a certain point, one has to be so careful about one's persona that certain things are just easier to refuse. Or maybe his handlers wouldn't allow it. But … Continue reading Even MLAs have rough days and need a wellness check-in: Jordan Sturdy looks back on his week as our instagrammer-in-chief
