  • You’re OK, when you say you are.

    I’m 49 years old and I’ve spent most of my post adolescent life searching for approval. From everyone. Friends, co-workers, family, partners, sometimes even the barista at Starbucks or the cashier at 7Eleven. I go to these places several times a week, do they like me? Does the cashier at 7Eleven who called me sir…

We shape ourselves into the characters of those stories. So when you tell your story weather it be to yourself or someone else, be…

  • The strangers we meet.

    There’s something absolutely beautiful about meeting a stranger. I don’t mean just a smile or handshake between two people that don’t know each other, I mean that moment where you stop thinking about yourself and you turn your complete attention to the other person because you want to actually “know” them, and in that moment you…

  • Just Ask!

    Seems like such a simple thing. I’ve heard these words probably a thousand times. “Why didn’t you just ask?”  Honestly it still doesn’t come easy for me. I’d rather completely torture myself physically, and mentally agonize over something for days before I’d just say “Hey can you help me?” What’s the problem? Is it pure…
