Hip Diggs Focuses on simple living.
I’m an advocate of minimalism, small living, and self-sufficiency. I believe that living with less leads to creating more. I post two or three times a week and share from my experiences, reading, and research.
Hip Diggs is a simple blog. I’ve been blogging for several years and I’ve learned the best blogs are the simple ones. Zen Habits is a favorite.
I’m an author, poet, songwriter, and teacher. I’m currently teaching writing and speaking courses at Yakima Valley Community College in Washington State. I’ve written several books including, A Train Called Forgiveness, based on my unique childhood experience living in an extreme cult.
