A blog<\/a> called Nathen’s Miraculous Escape<\/a> was born yesterday on Nathen’s 37th birthday. You may know him and want to check it out. You may not know him and still want to pop over there<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I remember once a friend chuckling when I arrived on his doorstep for a visit with an armload of books – he said, Jeannie you always come ready to share the new ideas you’re investigating!<\/p>\n

Nathen is one of those people for me. I am frequently exposed to new ideas through him. For instance, he was the first (but not the last!) person to tell me about David Allen’s Getting Things Done<\/em>, Jeff Campbell’s Speed Cleaning<\/em>, and Danny Dryer’s Chi Running<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He is also an excellent reference on many topics of interest to me: unschooling, swing dancing, music, peer counseling, community living … to name just a few. Nathen’s a real thinker and serious investigator, so when he tackles a subject of interest he does so thoroughly and with sincere curiousity.<\/p>\n

Did I mention that he’s a dear friend of both mine and my husband’s? (Nathen is one of Chad’s oldest childhood friends and he gave a moving toast honoring Chad at our wedding reception.) He’s even a good friend to Bella – when she was little she once tearfully asked me, Do you think he’ll wait for me to grow up so we can get married?<\/p>\n

I look forward to watching his new blog grow.<\/p>\n
