I know my consultations are generally for meeting with new clients and discussing their goals, and how my coaching might help them.

There’s a secondary, and often unspoken, reason for them:

I’m here, for you (for free), if you’d like the chance to be heard and seen.

Esp through the holidays.
You've been kidnapped! The characters from the last TV show you watched are your only hope for rescue. Who's coming to save you?


I mean…maybe Bradley? Certainly NOT Alex…

Backwards cap for lat pull downs.

Yesterday, I got to explore another emotion that I’d used alcohol to avoid/numb.

This time, it was loneliness.

That chasm of nothingness where the pit in your stomach keeps falling lower and lower, and it just feels so damn heavy…

It’s Monday, coffee’s on & strong, and I’m ready for you.

Let’s get a plan in place for you!

Off-hand, I noticed I’m near 5K followers.

That’s not too shabby for this middle-aged weirdo out here on the edge of known society 💖

Pretty sure I just par-boiled myself in a luxurious bath, but the cold shower after was next-level.

Sundays for self-care? I can get onboard with this more.

The altar got a little seasonal upgrade.

Glacial water gathered off Mt. Hood, small branches of fir and lichen-covered hardwoods that had been tossed to the forest floor.

A small reminder from the Universe that, even as it gets so dark, there is still life flowing.

I fucking love local hardware stores.

Waking up today in the vastness of the bed, it hit me that I can count on one hand how many times I’ve attempted flirting while sober.

That includes my very first foray into a gay space in 1997.

So, yeah, Thom…cut yourself some slack if every interaction with someone you fancy is gonna feel AWK.

Oops. I over-peopled today.

Replacing the heartbeat of downtown Portland (a huge and glorious food cart pod) with this icon to capitalism was a choice that frustrated me, then and now.

“You’d make a great coach.”

The fella who led the online coaching & fitness group I belonged to suggested I lean into it.

As a former teacher, I knew my calling was in education.

Not in a million years did I see myself helping others find their way towards better health,

Until that’s all I saw.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Morning of clients went spectacularly well.
I even got in a hot shower and fresh head-shave too.

Now…do I venture out among THE PEOPLE or do I take a day and caveman myself?

Good Morning, Bsky 🩵

Today’s journaling was a lot more intense than I anticipated.

Still, as I continue to process through shit I’ve been avoiding/escaping, one thing remains true:

The more I do it, the better I am becoming.

I hope it’s a day of peace and growth for you too.

Listening to Leaving Laurel, reading about boundaries through the lens of recovery and Buddhism, and contemplating the present-tense of my life…

This is a Perfect Friday Night for me now.

if any of you bitches are so gullible as to fall for even the slightest fragment of what she's about to start selling
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a virulent antisemite who has spent her entire time in public life advancing the most disgusting, delirious, and dangerous conspiracies about Jews, don't you jackasses dare expand this woman's platform beyond the horrific Facebook forums she lives her life in

I propose adding “Don’t be selfish” under every traffic sign.

Everywhere.

The more I practice asking myself “why?” when I make a decision, the better I am feeling.

And there’s a reason for that…

I have an idea for a creative project that hit me on the way to the gym tonight.

I’m no artist, but I firmly believe that I can tap into some of that energy to come to a better understanding of my place in the world nowadays.

I’m excited to *play* and *learn* ✨
