My life is not a single-minded pursuit of passion -

but rather a marvelous journey following the breadcrumbs of curiosity. 

​

​

​

While I have moments that were clearly life-altering, I look back at seemingly insignificant events in my life and find they were the locus of origin for my trajectory moving in a different direction. 

​

I often imagine Wanda Sykes' voice in my head saying the following:

The PLOT TWISTS create magic in my life far better than my own plan.

 

And so, I do the work to be prepared for collaboration with the plot twists.

Brene Brown's 10 guideposts for wholehearted living are my guide for preparing for magic: 

​

I cultivate authenticity and let go of what people think.

​

I cultivate self-compassion and let go of perfectionism.

​

I cultivate a resilient spirit and let go of numbing and powerlessness. 

​

I cultivate gratitude and joy and let go of scarcity and fear of the dark. 

​

I cultivate intuition and let go of the need for certainty. 

​

I cultivate creativity and let go of comparison. 

​

I cultivate rest and play and let go of exhaustion as a status symbol and productivity as self-worth.

​

I cultivate calm and stillness and let go of anxiety as a lifestyle. 

​

I cultivate meaningful work and let go of self-doubt and 'supposed to'.

​

I cultivate laughter, song, and dance and let go of cool and always in control. 

 

 

​

​

I cultivate these values in both my personal and professional life.

 

There is a reason you have read this far.

 

Maybe you and I are part of each other's next plot twist.

In pursuit of the questions,
