This blog has been down (in more ways than one). Last week, Life Coaches Blog’s server on Site5 broke down and we became inaccessible for a few days. To their credit, Site5 has apologized and given half a year’s worth of free hosting for all sites that were affected. While that was going on, I was in [...]

Hi everyone! I’m back from my 18-day stay in Thailand – it’s been a heady mix of staying with monks, simple living, 10 days of silence, lots of meditation and the blaring sights and sounds of Bangkok. I’ve just had my first long hot shower in 18 days, and I’m going to take a short nap [...]
