| Introduction | The roads I've traveled to get to ME have been plentiful and often, painful. Along the way, my natural tendency was to "close"-- to create an armor in the hopes that it would shield me from "unwanted" experiences or pain. I derived my definition of "strength" from that very armor and carried its unyielding weight for many years. But then I discovered that true strength comes in the form of vulnerability, sensitivity, and acceptance. I discovered that being "open" to Life takes a courage far superior to the strength of steel. Yet, it is in this "openness" that Life unfolds with incredible intensity, beauty, and grace. I've discovered much more along the way. And I hope to share those discoveries with you. Professionally, my path has included such roles as healthcare professional, international lecturer, mentor, and writer. Today, I prefer to view myself as a friend who gives gentle nudges in the direction of your inner truth. |
