Shameless self promotion?

deepest health link postThis Saturday’s links are, perhaps, a bit self serving.   I hope you won’t think it’s too much - but if you do, I apologize. I just started two new blogs that I hope you will be interested in reading. They are both just brand new - like a baby still covered in various tissues, squinty eyed, bright red and squalling. The designs are fairly stable, but the sidebars will get more complex and certainly lots of new free content will be added over the next several months. Remember how fun it was a the beginning of  Deepest Health? No? Well - get in on these while the fun is still building. :)

1. Naturalmedicinesuccess.com : This blog has multiple purposes. At base, it will be a blow-by-blow chronicle of the building of my medical practice with my partner, Amanda Barp LMT. We will take you through our process from nascent vision statement to opening day and beyond. Along the way, we hope to offer tons of value. We’ll do reviews : of herb and other types of companies, of software and hardware, of organizations, of anything that warrants a review. We’ll do interviews : of prominent business people in the field of natural medicine, of folks in various companies in natural medicine, of our peers who are struggling to do what we’re doing, and so on. We’ll tell stories : of the adventure that is working with your spouse, of the even greater adventure that is integrating your whole immediate family into one’s business, of interacting with patients (confidentiality preserved, of course), peers, vendors and official persons of all stripes. We’ll offer our take on the best of the best and the worst of the worst. We may have other folks joining us in the writing as well. I think it will be a great read for beginning entrepreneurs in any field but the particular bent will be, of course, natural medicine - since that’s what we’re doing.

2. Ericgrey.com : It’s time for me, finally, to have a personal site. There’s just so much I do that has little to do directly with Chinese medicine. I want to keep Deepest Health as focused on Chinese medicine and the things it directly connects with in my mind. I hope you appreciate that. Ericgrey.com will be far more personal, and it is the one of the two that you may be less interested in as Deepest Health readers. No offense taken, I promise. I’ll talk about a variety of subjects, but because of the nature of my life I will almost certainly focus primarily on the following topics:

  • My eclectic spiritual practice (that takes Christianity as its base but involves Daoism, Confucianism and Buddhism)
  • Veganism and raising a vegan family in a wacky, wacky world
  • Personal development, including personal organization and various technology involved
  • Raising a conscious and compassionate kid (again, in a wacky, wacky world)

I reserve the right to go off-topic there. It’s mine, ok? :D

Okay, so I owe it to you to put a non-me link in the list.  :)

3.  I’m not sure how many of you know Steve Pavlina.  I acutally read most of Steve’s stuff before I started Deepest Health, so I may not have talked about him much on this site.  Steve has nothing to do with Chinese medicine, but his personal development philosophy (focused on love, compassion, and clear thinking) certainly resonates with many of the principles of the medicine.  I’ve linked specifically to a great month of his blog archives - nearly every article is a winner.  He has an extensive archive - I recommend you read through the first two years in particular.  Great, great stuff.  Very helpful for practitioner development.

Thanks for reading,

Eric

    Eric,

    It’s been a while since I visited your site. I want to convey how impressed I am with your work here. You’ve got me thinking about my own site/blog, something I’ve been pondering for some time.

    Can’t wait to start classes at NCNM in September and perhaps chat with you about Chinese Medicine, blogs, life in Portland, etc. Btw, I’m trying to figure out where to live - any suggestions?

    Regards,

    Jeffrey

    Links followed, ads clicked.

    Speaking of shameless self promotion, the new site is up! http://lifegivingsword.net

    Jeffrey,

    Thanks for the compliments! I’m glad to get you thinking about some online presence - we need more good folks out there. :)

    I remember how excited I was to start here, too. It’s a great journey - I’m happy you’ve decided to join us! Regarding where to live - that’s pretty up to what you’re looking for. Portland has many very distinct neighborhoods. I can generally recommend the inner southeast, inner northeast and farther southeast around mount tabor. If you want to talk about this more, just go ahead and email me - I believe you have the address.

    Eric

    This is something different. I am interested about your work. It made me think about such things.
