The Week Ahead

Hi Dear Readers!

I hope this blog post finds you and brings you joy, insight, and action steps for defeating the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs) in your life.

I'm just coming down off of a PHENOMENAL weekend. On Saturday morning, I biked the 50 mile round trip from Madison WI to New Glarus WI, a ride intentionally dedicated to the demise of DFUs in my life. The town of New Glarus was having their annual Oktoberfest celebration, and I met Deborah, Gretchen, and the step grandkids there, for a couple hours of polka mosh pit (for the kids) and a pizza lunch at Sugar River Pizza, after which I made the return trek back to Mad Town.

I was a little anxious about the planned bike route to New Glarus in the morning. It ended up being mostly bike trail (rail to trail), albeit some of it unpaved crushed limestone, with a couple miles of deserted (and modestly hilly) country roadways into and out of New Glarus. The weather was phenomenal. Overall, it was a great time.

Some other stuff happened over the weekend too, but that was really the highlight, I think. Especially because it did some serious damage to the DFUs.

I'll end by reminding people that the path to salvation (aka, mental, physical, and spiritual wellness - MPSW) is three-fold: 1. eat a plant based vegan diet; 2. exercise aerobically daily; 3. boycott all social and mainstream media. You don't have to do those things, obviously. But I cannot guarantee MPSW if you don't.

Take care!

Hi Readers!

I hope this blog post finds you and brings you joy, insight, or action steps furthering the demise of the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs). it has been a little while since I have posted, so I hope you have been using the time off for self care.

Speaking of the demise of the DFUs...I received a sign this morning that one of the most diabolical FUs is about to experience a karmic setback. I weighed some strawberries on the kitchen scale and they weighed exactly 333 grams. 333 is half of 666, so I took it as a sign that some kind of karmic payload is about to be dropped on the top DFU.

What else? Well, I've been filled with positive energy lately. I've been out on bike rides and my marriage and family therapy practice is thriving. My musical duo GUPPY EFFECT has been rehearsing regularly and playing some shows. I have been voting with my dollars a lot and boycotting big bad businesses as much as I can. My folks are going up to their cabin this weekend, where they will be for the summer and likely into early fall. I'll be kind of passively house sitting for them while they are away (checking in on their house to make sure everything is OK). We will be visiting them at the cabin over the July 4 holiday weekend. That should be fun.

Not much more to report. I'll just conclude by reminding everyone how you optimize and maximize mental, physical, and spiritual wellness: exercise aerobically daily, eat a plant based diet, and avoid all social and mainstream media.

A good day to you!

Fin.

3 Days

Hi Dear Readers!

I hope this blog post finds you and brings you joy, other positive feelings, or actionable goals. If not, I hope that it reduces negativity and suffering in your life, at a minimum. 

Because...it's Day 10 of the 12 Days! We are in double digits. Three days to go (counting today) until the big celebration on Saturday 4/12 - the day that we will be liberated from the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs), according to Church Prophesy. It's also the first Dane County Farmer's Market on Saturday and the weather is prophesied (by Weather Bug) to be very nice that day. So Deborah and I will check it out! We might even take the BRT, which I have been wanting to do for some time now.

I am actually too busy focusing on Leisure Science today to post much. Suffice to say, I had a rocking morning and knocked off a ton of chores (recycling, compost, dishwasher, fruit salad, etc.). I have my Mindfulness Class here in a little bit. Then I'll meet my folks at Starbucks for a coffee and a chat over the noon hour. I think my dad is struggling with some things and I want to offer him some emotional safe space to work through it. I will see a handful of marriage and family therapy clients today too. So, I'll pause it there for today.

Leave a comment below and let us know how your 12 Days are going.

Ciao!
