Here we are, closing out the year Amsterdam-style, with fireworks, debates about fireworks, oliebollen, and good friends.

I'm grateful to all my friends, teachers, family, neighbors, customers and clients, and all others who have been part of my life this past year.

2025 was a pretty momentous year for me. I challenged myself to begin several new skills (scuba diving, track riding, Thai language) while working hard to grow both of my small businesses. I exhibited at new ceramics markets and met an awesome gallerist who now hosts my sculptures. My massage business was advertised in a local gym and I have been able to provide tailored massages to more people in my new neighborhood.

There were difficulties as well, and plenty of stress. With everything that went on this year, I'm honestly hoping that 2026 is an easier year. I myself am going to work on going more gently on myself and trying to enjoy the things I do more. This might mean that my social media presence will change, since keeping up these platforms is not my favorite part of running my businesses. Stay tuned to find out how (I'm still figuring that out!)

I wish you all a lovely celebration of old and new, however you like to mark the occasion. See you in 2026!

Happy Solstice!

If you've visited a market in Thailand, you’ve likely seen rows of chairs where clients enjoy lively chats while receiving foot massages.

A standout feature of Thai reflexology is the use of a wooden stick, known as mai nuat kod joodt, for both foot massage and acupressure on specific points.

Yesterday, I had my last lesson with Ah-jaan Lah. We had an intense 2 weeks, getting through her first unit of Thai language lessons.

We scheduled 18 lessons and I missed one, but with lots of daily homework I'm proud to say I can sound out written words and use that to better pronounce the words I thought I already knew. I can make some basic sentences and use both a printed and a digital dictionary.

This will help me with learning better communication in future studies. I am extremely grateful to my teacher for her time, patience & sense of humor!

Matt and I have embarked on a trip around the hills nearby, so my next update will be more vacation-y!!

Thanks to for the video of me setting off my lantern!

Hello from Chiang Mai!

Today I'm sitting by the pool and working on my homework, but for the past few days, Chiang Mai has been full of celebrations for Loi Krathong and Yi Peng festivals.

Wednesday night, I joined a group of unlucky travelers and ventured to a smaller village nearby. Regardless of pouring rain and other mishaps, we managed to float off our krathong offerings and set off our lanterns before heading home again.

My intense Thai studies are going well, I think. Memorizing a new alphabet and learning to understand tones are huge challenges. I am still not very communicative, but I get a lot of pleased comments from locals when they see me working on my homework in cafes.

Tomorrow Matt will arrive, and although my studies will continue I will also take time to enjoy being a tourist a bit more.

Since my massage is based on traditional Thai massage and I try very hard to stay true to that tradition, it's important to me to travel every so often to Thailand and spend some time there connecting with the culture and seeing friends, teachers and colleagues. This time I'm also focusing on language learning, and have arranged for private in-person lessons to get me started.

I will also be lucky enough to arrive in time to enjoy Loi Krathong next week, which is one of my favorite holidays (more then!).

As this will be a working holiday and I have quite a lot to do while there, you can expect me to post fairly regularly and will be available to contact for both my businesses via the usual channel (email).
