I’m Back

Today is my birthday and I find no better way to start off my 52nd year by writing to you. It has been so long since I last wrote. I have missed you. There wasn’t a day that went by without thinking about you and your life. I brought you with me the last two […]

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 […]

Write Yourself Down

Do you know who you are?  Like really know.  And do you show that real self to others?  So much so that everyone would feel like they knew you forever.  Realer than the chairs, the tables, the roads.  More real than anything else real.  I have been asking myself lately if I know who I […]

The Good Place

There is this place in everyone’s life that feels good. When you are there, it is as if everything is just the way it is supposed to be. This place we all have visited. Some don’t remember ever visiting. Those who can’t remember, have experienced early loss. The kid mind can’t go that far back. […]

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 […]
