Finding the spark again

Category: Jobs, Work, Careers

I ran into some weird happenstances recently that completely killed my love of acupuncture and herbal medicine. I didn't want to look at it, talk about it, practice it. And that hurt, man, because I love(d) this space so much. I just want to have a modest practice and treat pain. I love that people walk away with so much relief. For too long, we've told people that a painful life is inevitable and... » Continue Reading

I missed the golden age (sort of)

Category: Blogging

I missed the golden age of blogging (sort of): I was a fresh writer working on a university degree and a career goal of "freelancer". Sort of an insane goal to have at the time (where you gonna get clients, Mallow?), but no more insane than graduating into the biggest economic recession since 1929. Back then, blogging was all the rage. I guess it was sort of like YouTube, where you could easily li... » Continue Reading

Ouch my head

Category: Life

I woke up with a headache and my ears ringing like mad. Going to be an acupuncture kind of day for me today. I've been a bit naughty in that arena in that I've been treating my pain locally.

I mean, I guess the ideal... » Continue Reading

Oh boy, here we go...

Category: Jobs, Work, Careers

So there aren't a lot of posts on here about acupuncture or herbal medicine, which has me a bit shy about talking about my work... I wouldn't want to kill a good vibe with my particular brand of enthusiasm for what I do. Also, that niche I was talking about earlier? This is that lonely place, that "party of one". I tend to be very pragmatic, but my colleagues are very wrapped up in strict binaries... » Continue Reading

Working on a couple projects

Category: Blogging

I have been writing . Does anyone else miss the days where social media was a good (but brief) read? Maybe not even a good read, but at least it was words on a page that lead to a point. I do. I liked writing a little bit about my day or my latest projects, and then reading my friends' updates--especially when my friends were out of town or traveling. I'm a real sucker for a travelog. I wish peopl... » Continue Reading

RSS Button, I've Missed You!

Category: Web, HTML, Tech

It's been a while since I've had an RSS feed: all my favorite blog feeds dried up one day, and I was without light morning reading. I think there was a bit of a bubble, much like what seems to be happening with Patreon. People heard that you could make decent money blogging, so they jumped on the bandwagon and got a blog. The unfortunate part is that audience-building requires regular content, and... » Continue Reading
