The Journey

Learning in public. Following the path from beginner to... wherever this goes. Documenting what works, what doesn't, and what remains mysterious.

What is "Learning in Public"?

Rather than waiting until I'm an "expert" to share, I'm documenting the journey as it happens. This means you'll see mistakes, confusion, plateaus, and breakthroughs—all in real time. The goal isn't to present a polished image but to show what learning actually looks like.

The Streak Continues

The 7-year-old was pounding down a door this morning early so we didn't get great sleep or get out the door to the river like usual. We were only able to squeeze in a nine minute meditation—4-7-8 breathing—right before my 8:30 meeting. But we did it! We got it in. Sometimes that's all you can do and you take what you can get. The streak continues!
