Faith

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?  When I stopped writing back in December I really did think it was only going to be for a short week. As I had never not written to you for the last ten years.  But when the first Friday of 2022 arrived, the voice inside said something unexpected. It […]

The Unexpected Lessons of 2021

It has been a year of many surprises. Both professionally and personally.  My lessons are for my own life’s journey but if they can help you too, I will share them with you. Who I was when 2021 arrived is no longer here, but lessons don’t make our lives better, happier or easier. They make […]

The Petalling

If I had one wish for you, it would be to grant yourself permission to live the life of your choosing. To courageously understand the reasons behind your life’s choices to date, and allow for new choices to emerge that are generous towards you.  These choices would exclude pleasing other people, considering everyone else’s feelings […]

Your Messiest Drawer

Sometimes, change comes in ways you never expected.  You feel a force pushing you to do something that is confusing at first.  Trust it. It carries a message.  The only way to know what the message is, is to take the action.  And only then you will figure out what in the world is moving […]

The 500 Letters

When I was young, my parents used to call me an open book.  I used to share everything that was on my mind.  But for the last decade or so, the real things that trouble me, or break my heart stay with me.  You probably find it hard to believe but I share the most […]

Get A Hairbrush

Lately, I have found myself inside a new feeling.  Almost as if things are finally making sense.  I understand the hard things better and appreciate the easy things more.  I taste loneliness but can sense the fullness of my life too.  I respect the need for gratitude.  The devastating but timely lateness of wisdom.  If […]

The Middle.

When I realized I was never going to arrive anywhere, I suddenly arrived.  That was it. My destination. Suddenly found. In the not arriving.  It became apparent that each end of the road is nearly always a turning point.  Another destination just pops up.  We just keep traveling thinking we are going somewhere.  But we […]

The Time Thieves

Could these letters I am writing to you every week, be my diary entries?  I know. Just imagine for a second.  If we could all look inside each other’s journals.  All of a sudden the whole world would be revealed, no mysteries left to solve.  No hidden agendas.  No misunderstandings. No secrets.  No Invisible Loss.  […]

The Pretenders

Did you know that one of the most authentic relationships of my life is with you? I sit here every week writing exactly what I want to say.  There are no pretenses.  No adjusting my words.  I just tell you things as they are.  As the years have gone by, I understood the importance of […]

Short and Sweet

This is a first.  But I have been flying, traveling, experiencing, living so much that this letter did not get to be written today.  Instead, I am sending you a short note to tell you to drop anything that is not important and go do something fun.  I don’t care what it is.  But don’t […]
