Tree trimming makes space. Allows light to shine through. Decreases heaviness.

I teach my clients that

most of the time

other people’s behaviors and reactions are “not about you.”

It’s not personal.

It’s about the other person’s inner struggle.

Everyone struggles.

It’s not possible to live a life without struggle.

I often get asked how I became such a model of calm and presence.

I wasn't always like this.

Even if the flashing light is caused by external challenges— bad roads or potholes, car maintenance still needs to be done to restore optimal performance and a great driving experience.

Last week, someone hacked into my phone and replaced my SIM card.

Taking over all my data and information in an instant.

A most unpleasant crime.

Creating a vision board is NOT my thing.

It’s not minimalist - too much glue, scraps, scissors.

I don’t get paper magazines anymore.

Staying in places, jobs, and relationships with people, and things and that no longer “fit” you have a tremendous cost.

Holidays are very often not my favorite days. Even with mindfulness, presence, mindset work, and good food— I still often feel sad on holidays.

How did I know it was time to make a change? How did I do it? What was the secret?

Loving well is the legacy I want to leave.

It is also what I aspire to help others do.
