A life-long outdoorsman, photographer Peter Fromm has explored caves, climbed rocks and mountains, rafted white water rivers, sea kayaked, ski toured and sailed aboard many vessels. He makes his home aboard his floating gallery and the sailing vessel “Uwila,” mooring in Friday Harbor over the winters and often in Reid Harbor at Sucia Island over the summer or anywhere else his imagination takes him.

Do you need testing or can you figure it out yourself? What happens if you keep eating a food that you are allergic or intolerant to? The answers are I don’t know, maybe, yes, I don’t know that either, yes and no, and I’m not going to tell you.
“I know it’s spring when I can buy Christine’s greens again,” a friend said at the end of last winter.

For 60 years the model used for psychology and psychotherapy was a disease model. It asked: What’s wrong with me? Some positive outcomes came from the disease model: a science of classifiable mental illnesses was developed; previously non-treatable illnesses became treatable or sometimes curable; drug and psychological treatments were designed and tested; miserable people became less miserable. There are also costs to this model. Sufferers of mental illness can feel they are victims of their pathology. The disease model forgot the improvement of quality of life for normal and high talent people.
