Harder than heck half marathon - my first half marathon - the longest, most technical and most humbling run to date.

Happy fall to all, may it help us inhale what we need and exhale what we don’t. 🤍🍁 taken in Superior Hiking Trail by @trigemminal

What a privilege it is, that not all receive, to grow older. As each year passes life feels more full as dreams and new ideas come into fruition built off of many moments of hard work, mistakes & sacrifice of the past.

Happy lunar new year to all, it feels beyond fitting for micro & macrocosm to be stepping into a time of fire and passion to initiate change, growth and revolution.

I had the opportunity to be in a place where whale sharks exhibit a very rare behavior of coming inland to surface feed. Whale sharks generally spend most of their time in deeper parts of the ocean following their primary prey. While being the biggest fish in the ocean (40-60ft in length) they are filter feeders.

Whale sharks have been one of my favorite animals since I was a kid reading shark books with my mom and obsessing over ocean documentaries as I’ve grown older. Being able to see them in person has been a dream come true. 🦈🐋 taken in Oslob, Cebu, Philippines by @trigemminal

✨ Butter Lamp Puja at Daman✨

Yesterday our ARP/GHN team traveled to Daman to honor 10 years of continuous service in Bajrabarahi: a decade of community partnership, rural primary care, and shared learning between local Nepali healthcare leaders and foreign visitors.

From Daman, a short hike took us to Rikheshwor Temple, a sacred hilltop shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. Beside the temple is Chumik Changchup, a holy spring said to have emerged from Shiva’s grief and devotion. People come here seeking clarity and renewal, a fitting place to reflect on the work that has shaped us over the years.

At the temple, we offered a 108-butter-lamp puja, a traditional blessing for insight, protection, and the path ahead. Lighting lamps together felt like a quiet prayer for the decade to come: for our patients, our Nepali team, our volunteers, and the community that continues to welcome us with such generosity.

What made the day especially meaningful was being there together: our Nepali leadership, long-time staff, and current volunteers.

🙏 Thank you to everyone, near and far, who has supported this work, not only in Bajrabarahi, but across 18 years in Nepal. Here’s to the decade behind us and to the one we are stepping into with clarity and open hands.
