I'm going to post about a lot of different things here.
The breadth of topics here is a reflection of my approach to living and to my role as a helping professional: eclectic in form but philosophically consistent. I have a perspective on things, and by revealing this perspective in myraid forms, my hope is that I can clarify for my readers the way in which I see the world.
In order for this to be of value, I commit to being open and honest in my communication here. I don't want to try to be too clever or too impressive, or to present myself in an overly-polished manner. This seems to be a significant pitfall in the world of blogs and social media, in which we are a curator of our own self-referential content.
So I'll share my perspective and my knowledge. I'll also try to share my vulnerabilities and foibles. Because the last thing the world needs is a blog by some together know-it-all with all the answers, promising just THE thing that YOU need to make all of your obstacles and difficulties vanish into thin air.
The general overview, then, of the blog could be summarized as this: Things I love, the ways in which I keep myself separate from them, and how I (and you) can learn to better embrace the things in life worth embracing, even when my mind (and yours) get in our own way.
An incomplete list of likely topics:

An incomplete list of likely topics:
Navigating change, psychological flexibility, behaviorism, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Relational Frame Theory, psychological science, the practice of coaching and/or psychotherapy.
Fatherhood, masculinity, relationships, commitment
Fly fishing, hiking, snowboarding, or any manner of outdoors activities, and the impact of nature on our own sense of well-being
Ecology and the Environment
Food and farming, the good food movement, health and wellness
Mindfulness, meditation, world wisdom traditions
Music
More as they strike me!
And I may start adding a regular photo feature at some point.
