Yesterday I was working in our condo when my wife yelled to me from the patio. I ran outside to find a full band playing on the beach really close to some giant shore break. Life in Mexico is full of pleasant little surprises. Enjoy!
Some people have commented around the web lately that most of the lifestyle design resources out there tend to focus on the younger crowd. I would agree, most lifestyle design bloggers seem to be in the Gen-Y camp. Not all (I happen to be closer to Gen-X than Gen-Y), but most are under 30.
Why is that? Are most of the people pursuing lifestyle design really that young? It could be that the people talking about lifestyle design are younger, but in fact plenty of “older people” are also trying to radically change their lives too.

I’m referring to the weather pattern that is caused by periodic warming of surface waters in the Pacific ocean.
There’s no question that lifestyle design has exploded in popularity over the past year. It seems like a new blog about lifestyle design pops up almost daily these days, and my Google Alert on the topic brings me 20+ new articles about it some days.
At the same time, I’ve been hearing more and more subtle backlash against the topic of lifestyle design recently.
