16th letter from Mihai Tue 20 May, 2025 Colmar, France Dear Reader, It’s been a strange week. I messed up my Achilles after last weekend’s bike ride—seems I pushed harder than I should have—and it left me barely able to move for days. I’ve been locked in the house, not exercising, not meditating, even skipping journaling some nights. That hasn’t happened in years. But here’s the thing. Even though I’ve been off rhythm in many ways, I still got something big done.I finished the new e-book I...

15th letter from Mihai Fri 16 May, 2025 Colmar, France Dear Reader, I want to share something that’s been meaningful to me.I’m not even sure what the right word is.It wasn’t some huge insight or dramatic realization. It just landed clearly, quietly, like something inside me started to make sense. It came from a book I’m reading right now called Keys to the Kingdom by Alison Armstrong. She’s studied relationships for decades, especially the differences in how men and women relate to each...

14th letter from Mihai Tue 13 May, 2025 Colmar, France Psycho Pong with friends is the best way to spend the weekend Dear Reader, Just wanted to write you a short one this week. I’m rubbing my hands with excitement—the cherries are starting to ripen. I don’t know about you, but I love fruit. I love trees. And when I get the chance to climb a tree and grab a snack at the same time, that’s a good day. To me, it’s a sign: summer’s here.The warm days. The energy.The seeds we’ve planted in spring...

13th letter from Mihai Tue 6 May, 2025 Colmar, France Dear Reader, Hard night with Cléo. If you’ve got young kids, you know the kind of tired I’m talking about. I’m writing this in the morning light, sitting at my desk with my friend Simon’s new album playing in the background. It’s lifting me a bit—wanted to pass it along in case you need something good in your ears too. Here’s the link. And before I dive in, let me say this:Thanks for being here. Thanks for reading these letters—even the...

12th letter from Mihai Wed 30 Apr, 2025 Colmar, France A hike in the Dolomites a few years back made me want to start my online business Dear Reader, Cléo’s asleep. Aurélie’s upstairs in an online class. The house is quiet. I took out the trash, did a quick tidy, poured myself a gin and tonic, and sat down with a thought: maybe I’ll write you a letter tonight. So here I am. Cheers. Before I tell you this story, let’s set the record straight—I’m not some fatherhood guru on a mountain.I mess...

11th letter from Mihai Tue 29 Apr, 2025 Colmar, France Dear Reader, Writing this from our home in Colmar. I’ve spent so much time here or in the forest lately that maybe it’s not worth mentioning anymore. But maybe it is. Maybe there’s something about that consistency that matters. This morning I was in the forest with Cléo. No schedule, no rush. Just us. And still, by the time we got home, that pressure was there.The pressure to “get things done.”To answer messages.To finish notes from...

10th letter from Mihai Sun 27 Apr, 2025 Colmar, France Spring is finally here, time to plant some seeds. Dear Reader, Today, I’m writing from the forest near Colmar.Spring is here.The trees are waking up.The air smells faintly of wild garlic.Birds are singing like they know something we don’t. I’m here to slow down.To breathe.To put my thoughts in order. One thing that’s been sitting with me lately is how the seeds we plant—in our relationships, especially with our partners—matter more than...

9th letter from Mihai Fri 25 Apr, 2025 Colmar, France Barefoot shoes, anyone? Dear Reader, This one’s a bit different. Not a story about a breakthrough with my daughter. Not a moment of presence in the forest. It’s more like a knot in my chest I needed to untangle. You know, I’ve only been in the online space for a bit over a year. Still feels fresh. I’m finding my voice, shaping this guidance work, slowly getting seen. And with that, obviously, comes some resistance. Recently, a post I wrote...

8th letter from Mihai Tue 22 Apr, 2025 Colmar, France The fountain that inspired a scene in Beauty and the Beast. Dear Reader, I'm finally catching my breath. This past week was intense in all the best ways. Finishing a project. Being with family. Going out with Aurélie for dinner and a concert. Hosting friends. Moving between work and presence. It’s been a full week.And today, I feel proud.Not the inflated kind. Just the quiet kind.The kind that comes when you see something through.And you...
