I just came back from 12 days disconnected in Morocco to find the world agitated and at least on social, on high-alert. I'm saddened by the news. However, I have faith that if we focus on those immediately around us (ourselves included) and give them kindness, the problems of the world will decrease. I know we had great peace in the desert, in the small microcosm we created.

The first 14er for the family!

This is my favorite pic from our Greece trip.

In my latest video, I explore Purple Deadnettle (Lamium purpureum)—a widely distributed plant across the U.S and Europe. It's often dismissed as a weed, but has a long history of traditional use. I look at its key identifying features, habitat and chemical compounds. If you're interested in medicinal plants or just want to see what’s growing right under your feet, this is a fun one: youtube.com/watch?v=a_1Nhke4…
