Clear blue skies, cool crisp air, deciduous forest dressed in its fall finery, and a dear friend. A perfect New England day.

My beloved aunt and I are in town visiting my mother, and we went on an adventure together today.

My family members have finally figured out that the thing to do with me is to go look at plants.

Fun was had by all.

(No pictures of us together included, because we both hate all of them.)

That feeling when you realize vegetables can be just as beautiful as flowers.

Of all the pictures I’ve taken so far this year – and there have been many – this may be my favorite. I keep coming back to it and marveling.

The light behind the trees is the moon starting to set. If you look closely, you can see stars in both the sky and the water.

I shot it with an iPhone on a tripod, at a lake 5,500 feet up in the Oregon Cascades.

When the weight of the world gets too heavy, remember this beauty still exists.

As y'all know, I'm doing a lot of sleep-focused work in my practice these days. One thing I've been telling many patients about recently is the RISE-UP Protocol, used to help combat morning sleep inertia.

This matters, because one of the key pieces for improving sleep is setting a consistent rise time — and actually getting out of bed. When that's hard, and people need help, the RISE-UP Protocol is an evidence-based set of practices (the name is an acronym) shown to help.

Then I spent a weekend camping in the woods — which in itself involves several points of the protocol — and made a video for those who prefer watching to reading.

Here's a link to the resource, including the video. Because good sleep rocks.

Happy Treequinox!

Apples and rose-petal honey are one of my favorite traditions, in this case to bring in a sweet new year.

Shana tova, and may 5787 bring hope, sweetness, health and peace to us all.

I had a mango in my produce bowl glaring at me, so I made some salsa.

Here’s what was in it:

🌶️ a cherry bomb hot pepper from the Portland Farmers Market market (second image)
🍅 A few tomatoes from my garden
🧅some red onion
🥑 half an avocado (which had also been glaring at me),
🫒 olive oil
🍋 lemon juice
🧂 Alaska Salt Co. salt

Garnished with some sumac, a calendula flower, and enjoyed with Three Sisters Nixtamal blue corn tortilla chips.

Yum.
