Time for Introspection
I was talking to a friend the other day, we were both moaning on about not being able to keep up with all of the emails coming into our inbox, we were both avoiding TV and the news. I admitted that I am craving quiet, I am craving slowness, I am craving rest.

Giving Myself a Pass
I have sat down to write this blog several times in the last week and I just can’t get it out, each time I have ended up writing about the changes that I have going on in my life that are beyond hard, beyond emotional and freaking heart breaking and I end up in tears and knowing that I am still processing it all in a way that I just can’t seem to get out just yet.

The Power of Words
I have always enjoyed writing and reading. As a kid, I quite often had my nose buried in a book and my mind, body & soul lost in a story, to the point that often those around me would say things like they hoped there was never a fire because I may be so lost in my book that I wouldn’t notice. I have often wondered if it is my ability to get lost in story that actually may have saved me from the trauma of my youth.

Commandments of Connection
Thirty weeks ago, I flew home, at the beginning of a pandemic lock down that at the time I naively thought may affect my life for maybe a month or two at most. As I sit here today that feels like an absolute lifetime ago. These last thirty weeks have contained some of the loneliest and darkest moments as I have navigated some of the most difficult changes in my life.

Times are Changing
I live in a world full of change and I don’t say that lightly. What I do for corporations is to help them orchestrate and make changes. I have always thought of myself as someone who always thrived in change and mostly I still do but ever since COVID; I…

What’s in the attic?
Today, with the help of a friend, we pulled 15 or so boxes out of the attic. I remembered when we moved into this house 5 ½ years ago, after we had unpacked everything, we “needed” a few boxes sat in the dining room for a few months before we finally said, let’s just put them in the attic. Some of the things we knew we wouldn’t need, those few boxes of the kids’ school mementos things that I have moved from house to house to house.

I failed my To Do List
Back in the 80’s I took my very first course in productivity, it was a Franklin Covey course and I had myself a brand-new Franklin Planner to go along with it. As I took each piece of paper that I had scattered around my desk, pinned to a bulletin board or taped on the refrigerator at home and transferred them all into that planner I began to feel lighter, as I dumped all of the things I was trying to remember out of my mind and into that planner I remember thinking that this was a miracle.

Unconditional Love
Thirteen years ago, as I was completing my journey through the Medicine Wheel (an over yearlong transformational process that teaches the tenants of Shamanism in the Q’ero tradition of the Andes), I was also embarking upon the adventure of a new relationship. During the Medicine Wheel training I had learned of the Quechua (pronounced keCHwa) word Munay (pronounced MoonEye), the word Munay translates as “love and will”. This word and its meaning were introduced to me as the concept of Unconditional Love.

Right Relationship
Quechua (pronounced keCHwa) is the name given to the language of South American Indians living in the Andean highlands from Ecuador to Bolivia. In Quechua there is a word, Ayni (pronounced Aini). Roughly translated means “today for you, tomorrow for me”. Ayni is the concept of being in reciprocity or what I like to think of as right relationship.
