I have another piece in Corporate Wellness Magazine, this time a reported piece despite its having been labeled a column.

Headlined "The Future of Wellness," it asks wellness leaders at Southwest Airlines, L.L.Bean, and other companies what they're trying to achieve, and what's working for them. The story posted a while ago, but I realized this morning that I never shared it here. 

It's good. You should read it. 

One thing leads to another, and something recently — oh, it was being interviewed for NPR's The Salt blog! — led to an article on "Fat Boy Thin Man" published on examiner.com yesterday by Joanne Eglash, the first "holistic health examiner" I recall meeting. 

I've written op-eds on other subjects, but today's piece published by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is my first following the line of my forthcoming book, "It Matters." I argue that nature is humankind's pre-eminent guide to survival and that following its lead not only solves our environmental problems, but many personal ones as well.

Please comment here, and share widely.

I heard the news today, oh boy: The first op-ed I've done squarely on sustainable personal growth has been accepted for publication and will run Sunday in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

One of the communities I want to speak to works for wellness in corporate environments, and my story in Corporate Wellness reaches out to them. In it, I tell how EAP was one of the very first stops on my road to recovery from extreme obesity.

My summer of not blogging/not tweeting/barely FB-ing continues, as I tend to other portions of my outreach to the world.

One part of that is the stories I've been writing in the Boston Globe food section, which almost always spring from the sustainable-food world. The latest entry, on the locavores' increasing interest in natural fermentation as the way to preserve summer's bounty, is published today.

Here's my latest story for the Boston Globe food section exploring corners of the sustainable food movement. Today's installment is about the farmers and fishers who sell protein via the community-supported model, as well as the customers who support them.

My first Boston Globe story in a while is about Will Mack, who loves tools but specializes in knives, still, 11 years after his retirement from Kitchen Arts, which he built into a beacon for blades on Newbury Street.

My story on Patti Small, who takes her ever-more-popular service of sharpening knives to farmers' markets in Greater Boston, was in the Globe today. You may recall that I also featured her on my blog not too long ago.
