We don’t always see people as they are — we see them through the lens of our past.

My newest piece, Blueprints, is about recognizing those projections and choosing something more generous in their place.

Change takes time. 🌱 Sometimes it feels like reaching into a paper bag—not knowing what you’ll pull out, but trusting it’ll nourish you.

New on the blog: Recognizance 🌿

Just published a new piece on The Equanimous Mind — “Grief, My Darling” — my ode to sorrow as both companion and catalyst.

Sometimes surrender is the way across.
I wrote about a moment that softened me, called Golden Bridge.
Maybe you’ve had one too.
