Meet our contributor, Connie Sobchak
We have a new Friday feature on the Wellness Almanac. A regular snapshot of something wild and wonderful from Connie Sobchak. I'd be admiring her photos on Facebook for sometime, and enjoyed a review on a book about habits that she wrote for us, so I asked if she'd be interested in sharing more regularly. … Continue reading Meet our contributor, Connie Sobchak
Dilly-cious: a recipe for the world’s easiest fridge dill pickles
Kalmia shared this recipe during her instagram takeover, and it is mandatory that I share it with you, but it just didn't fit in her recap post the other day, so in the spirit of taking over, I yield the floor to her once more. Enjoy. Quickles. Sweet, sour, crunchy, mouthwatering quickles. A mason … Continue reading Dilly-cious: a recipe for the world’s easiest fridge dill pickles
Guest Photographer Shayla Wallace offers a powerful reminder to stand tall, reach high, dream big.

Erin Baumeister is a transplant. She landed in Pemberton after a nomadic childhood — her dad, in global telecommunications, moved the family to Taiwain and then Israel. At 19, Erin, who had spent her youth taking camel-riding field trips with the Bedouin and fundraising to deliver school supplies to Masai kids in Kenya, found herself … Continue reading Sowing the seeds of a sustainable community
“I am not as sweet as I used to be, but I am far more loving.” Brene Brown says it’s more than okay to have healthy boundaries in place.
http://view.vzaar.com/6547451/flashplayer "The definition of boundary is simply what's okay and what's not okay. I think we don't set boundaries. We let people do things that are not okay. Then we get resentful. Me, I'd rather be loving and generous and very straightforward with what's okay and not okay, and that, I learned in the research. … Continue reading “I am not as sweet as I used to be, but I am far more loving.” Brene Brown says it’s more than okay to have healthy boundaries in place.
