Trying my best to embrace situations as opportunities to learn something about myself and also others have been a bit of a mission. At least in the last few weeks, it’s been a mission. Part of me enjoys getting lost in the magic of a moment. No thinking, just being. Allowing things to flow in and flow out. Magical things happen when I’m in flow state…

I accept that anyone I allow into my life is just as lucky to have space in my life as I am to have space in theirs.
I am worthy. I’m always mindful of the company I keep. I think that it’s super important to align myself with the right people. One could easily question what that looks like or what that means. But last night I was able to put a few feelings into proper thoughts. I was able to putContinue reading “I accept that anyone I allow into my life is just as lucky to have space in my life as I am to have space in theirs.”
My Eulogy
There are so many emotions around sharing this piece with the world. I actually wrote it last summer and asked a dear friend to read it in the event I was murdered. Even if we lost touch, I made him PROMISE to be the one to read my words. At that moment, I needed peopleContinue reading “My Eulogy”
Letter of Gratitude: NVW Coach
Dear Coach, It was about a year ago that I was introduced to the New Ventures West coaching programme. I was actively building my network and had reached out to a college alumn for advice.

Letter of Gratitude: Jess
Dear Jess, During a year of absolute chaos, when you felt completely broken and unlovable, you remembered to breathe. When your abusers conspired to break you, you remembered they are human. When you decided to upgrade your annoyingly-optimistic-everything-is-PHENOMENAL Jess to an authentic imperfectly messy-emotional-yet-RESILIENT Jess, you remembered to be brave. When you made questionable lifeContinue reading “Letter of Gratitude: Jess”
Letter of Gratitude: Bob
Dear Bob, It’s been an absolute honour to know you this last year. I feel blessed to turn a neighbor into a friend… and extended family. I’ve shared tidbits about my journey. You’ve seen me galavanting without a care or responsibility. You’ve seen me with the weight of the world on my shoulders. You’ve alsoContinue reading “Letter of Gratitude: Bob”
Letter of Gratitude: Ali
Dear Ali, One of my favorite places to meet people is the airport. Two things inevitably happen, I learn something new or I have my faith in humanity restored. Something about travelling that just brings out the best in people. Within a few moments, we were able to find common ground: sharing a head shakeContinue reading “Letter of Gratitude: Ali”
Service. Respect. Selflessness. Honor. Gratitude. Love.
Day 12. Freewriting. Today is Veteran’s Day. The first word in my head is VALOR. Seems reasonable to use this moment to acknowledge my favorite men in uniform; the USMC. Dear Soldier – Thank you for your service. Thank you for your sacrifice. Thank you for fighting wars we know nothing about. Thank you forContinue reading “Service. Respect. Selflessness. Honor. Gratitude. Love.”
