How to take a summer vacation from your blog without losing all your traffic
Pre-P.S.: I’m currently taking coaching clients who want (non-overwhelming!) plans for launching online courses, streamlining social media, or running an online business in a way feels good. More info here!
It’s one of the robin’s egg blue summer days. I’m kicked back on a swan-shaped floaty, taking sips from a water bottle that does not, in fact, contain water. I turn my face to the sky and thank the internet gods for blessing me with a job that allows me to take Beach Days.
Juuuuuuust kidding! I’m actually typing this in dirty jean shorts while I drink room temperature coffee and turn up the air conditioning by two notches.
When you own a business, it expands to fill the space you give it. It can creep into your evenings and weekends. It can creep into Date Night. It can creep into perfect July afternoons that would be better spent someplace sandy.
If you, too, are suffering from Too Much Blog Not Enough Beach, never fear! I have a solution for us! Let’s put our blogs on vacation!

Notes From The Road: The Wild West of Asia
One of my (admittedly weird) fears about traveling so much is that I'm slowly but surely becoming jaded and under-awed by the corners of the world. I fear that I'm going to get all "Temple, Sh-memple. Monkeys - who cares? Polygamy? I've seen it." But then? Then I spent three weeks in the eastern district of Jhapa, Nepal and realized that I'd happened off the tourist trail into the wild west of...
How To Set More Realistic Relationship Expectations (so you won’t end up heartbroken, annoyed, or disappointed)
This guest post comes to us via The Naked Redhead blogs about relationships, life, and a million hilarious things. Go say hello! The April issue of Psychology Today features the cover story, "You're Driving Me Crazy: 10 Relationship Headaches and How to Fix Them." I only bought it because my boyfriend needed to learn him some lessons. A-hem. Right. Anyway, the article is solid gold for any of...
True Story: I’m Hindu

This is the story of Sri and her relationship with Hinduism.Tell us a bit about yourself! Although my family hails from Kerala, the beautiful southern coastal state famous for its backwaters, snake-boat races and Ayurveda, I was born and brought up in the the...
13 Fresh Starts For A New Year
Reposted from last year because a) it's a good post b) I'm in eastern Nepal where there's only 13 hours of electricity a day. Cut me some slack, yo. 2011! It's good to see you! You're so shiny and new I'm checking my makeup in your reflection and parking you at the edge of the parking lot so no one dings you with their door. Did you guys make heaps of New Year's resolutions? I'm too much of a...
The Truth About Dreams Vs. Opportunities
Who would win in a cage match of dreams vs. opportunities? Which one is healthier, more doable, and more sustainable? Sarah Storer has an opinion. A few years ago, I applied for a fun, stunty project - to live off Groupon for a year. And when I found out that I wasn’t selected, I had a lot of very sweet people ask me if I was okay. As in, “are you surviving the emotional trauma of not being...
True Story: I Had An Abortion
This is one of many True Story interviews in which we talk to people who have experienced interesting/amazing/challenging things. This is the story of "Mara" and her abortion. I think Mara's story is a particularly important one because most of us have been raised to believe that unplanned pregnancies (and abortions) aren't things that happen to "nice girls." They happen to women who have...
