Jessica Wood is Not Getting Married, But Stacia and I Just Did ...

Stacia with her Uncle Peter and cousin after our wedding.
I've recently come across a great site and podcast called Variety Seekers at HoneLife.com and on Facebook at Hone Life.  It is produced by Alex and Jessica Wood, who are brother and sister.  They are definitely lifestyle designers and proponents of following your passions.

Jessica recently wrote a post titled "Why I'm Not Married", which has apparently caused some controversy.  It's a short and introspect post, which examines choices that couples get to make - and expectations others have of couples ...

She makes some great points and the post was particular interesting to me since Stacia Kennedy and I were married on the beach in Hawaii earlier this month.
