Read this if you care about your health and the planet you live on (remembering of course that they are inseparable). But be prepared to be scared.

Gawd, some days I think that getting cancer is pretty much inevitable. How depressing. :( Today I feel like walking around shaking people, screaming "WAKE UP!"

I'm especially stoked to learn that my new(ish) mattress is probably still off-gassing flame retardants that I'm absorbing into my blood. Sweet. :(

About this Site

A hodge-podge of random thoughts, musings, and links – sometimes about social change, sometimes about technology and the web, sometimes about yoga, and occasionally about knitting. Sometimes (because I'm a Canadian girl with deep roots in the British Isles) I even write about the weather.

I'm a yoga teacher, founder of Yoga for Geeks, and a freelance web writer, strategist, and project manager. I also help to co-create the amazing Web of Change Conference, every September in beautiful British Columbia.
