Amid a landscape saturated with automated text and generic AI output, I craved a different kind of writing companion—one that amplifies a writer’s unique voice, rather than replaces it. That’s why I built WordSmith: a sophisticated, context-aware writing assistant designed specifically for Obsidian users who value nuance, authorship, and control over their creative process. WordSmith is not about automation; it’s about careful, purposeful augmentation. It’s an AI-powered writing assistant designed to seamlessly elevate your craft without ever wresting away creative direction, instead offering intelligent support that removes friction, sharpens your prose, and lets you focus on the artful work of...

Back Story After the “honeymoon” which followed first awakening on January 4th, 2024, I was stuck in severe dark night territory for nearly a year, during which my preexisting conditions significantly worsened. In recent months, I’ve made significant breakthroughs and steady daily progress on both fronts thanks to what I call somatic inquiry. The path here wasn’t straightforward. The awakening process surfaced significant old trauma all at once, like an avalanche. I simply couldn’t process it all—it became like indigestion, my system overloaded, which made my conditions flare up extremely aggressively. By April, I was in considerable pain, and by...

I just did something I genuinely thought impossible a year ago. This morning I successfully coded a functional web application – a Destiny Matrix calculator – from scratch, with the help of AI (specifically, Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro in AI Studio). The shocking part? I am definitely not a programmer. For context, I’m a bit of a tinkerer, comfortable exploring new tools, but I lack any coding training. I have basic HTML knowledge, but when it comes to logic-heavy JavaScript, I’m completely out of my depth. Yet, over just a few hours, I went from an idea to a fully...

Recently, research on Trimethylglycine (TMG) has caught my attention. This naturally occurring compound improves hormonal health, particularly in regards to testosterone, by influencing fundamental metabolic pathways rather than directly altering hormone levels. The research also indicates benefits for liver function, cardiovascular health, exercise recovery, and cognitive performance—suggesting TMG plays multiple roles in metabolic regulation. Beyond Simple Testosterone Boosting When exploring supplements for hormonal health, I’ve noticed how easy it is to get caught up in promises of dramatic results. What makes TMG interesting is its more nuanced effect—it doesn’t artificially spike testosterone levels but instead supports the body’s natural regulatory...

This digital space chronicles my personal evolution, a tapestry woven from threads of exploration, insight, and eclectic interests. The journey from suffering to awakening rarely follows a straight line—these paths intertwine in unpredictable ways. After decades navigating chronic illness alongside spiritual exploration, I’ve discovered they aren’t separate journeys but different facets of the same unfolding. Who I Am I’m a long-time spiritual seeker, now a finder, as Jeffery Martin would put it. I’ve spent years exploring the nature of mind, body, and reality. My path has led me through diverse landscapes of experience—from the depths of chronic illness to awakening...
