148: Health Hiatus

Dear Friends,
It's been a while.
Nearly six months.

Where'd you go?

I had a sudden health crisis.
And spent a month in the hospital.


In July, I went back for a surgery.

Luckily, the surgery went well.
I am safely back at home.

Lately I've been focused on family, healing, and outpatient rehab.



As a result, The Fire Jar has been on the backburner.

I'm finally feeling ready to show up in this space again.

I've missed this creative practice, the ritual, the connections.


I may share additional details later.

For now, know that I'm deeply grateful for community support, acutely aware of mortality, and reflecting on some of my own previous wisdom.



I am rereading these old posts :

096: Self-states
We inhabit many roles and personas.
043: Caregivers
Breaking things is easy. Repairing is harder.
136: Movement Framework
A simple model for exercise / fitness.
035: Plant Care
Are you taking care of your plants?
078: Mind Palace
The Method of Loci (aka Memory Palace).
027: Life is a Jumble
The stories we tell are the ones we believe.
073: Pain vs. Suffering
How are pain and suffering different?
038: Cats and Toast
Exploring the buttered cat paradox.
147: Fear vs Confidence Loops
Two powerful reinforcing cycles.




The margins in life are small.

I am grateful to be alive.
