Column: How to Develop Staying Power
From this bubble we inhabit, I’ve watched a world of faraway protests unfold of late — upsurges of outrage, mobbing the streets and Twitter with catchy hashtags, Hunger Games-esque police forces responding. As one protest falls, another rises up in its place. Recently, Fast Company magazine senior editor Jason Feifer vented about our citizen and … Continue reading Column: How to Develop Staying Power

Column: May Your Year Be Gloriously Ordinary
I’ve interviewed “the Godfather of Freeskiing”, Mike Douglas, a couple of times and we’ve collaborated on enough Whistler Blackcomb projects that I mostly forget what a legend he is. Around Whistler, everyone has high watermark moment in their resume. I’m more interested in the way people practice the art of reinvention than their endless recollections … Continue reading Column: May Your Year Be Gloriously Ordinary

The Wellness Almanac’s Top Posts of 2014
I'm neither a tea-leaves reader nor a sleuth, so I'm not sure what conclusions to draw from 2014's most popular posts (not including the perennially beloved recipes for lemony lentil soup, banana tiramisu and spaghetti squash gratin, or visits to our About page, contributors bios or the nominations form for the Wellness recognition awards). Maybe: … Continue reading The Wellness Almanac’s Top Posts of 2014

Valley of Light in hindsight: a One Year Challenge comes to an end.
Back in February, I followed a tweet by Tourism Pemberton to discover the blog, Valley of Light, a daily photo journal of our backyard from photographer Polek Rybczynksi. A daily practice, I suspect, is a cornerstone for wellness. (How could both Rumi and Seth Godin be wrong?) I’m always fascinated by the myriad ways people … Continue reading Valley of Light in hindsight: a One Year Challenge comes to an end.
Column: One Day at a Time
Every year, the same resolution floats back up to the top of my list, accusatory as an oil slick. Floss. Every day. There’s no excuse for not flossing daily, yet I make them. For some reason, a daily habit creates resistance in me. It’s why Polek Rybczynski’s Valley of Light photo journal entranced me from … Continue reading Column: One Day at a Time
