I wrote these letters as a series of weekly reflections that I sent to a group of peers. They helped me to metabolize the events of my life. To help verbalize what I now understood. To live in harmony with nature and the freedom to contribute my skills to what must be done.
After decades in corporate and startups (see professional biography), I went through a life transformation. I now guide others who are on a similar path. To slow down, dissolve the chase, and rediscover their natural state of presence, purpose, and joy from which to lead.
If you’ve achieved much, but still quietly wonder… these letters are for you. May they guide your journey as kind, compassionate companions wishing you well.
Bookmark this page, set a weekly reminder for Sunday mornings, and enjoy quiet contemplation prompted by these letters.
Enjoy!
Attention is like a zoom lens
On the pursuit of happiness, success and desires
What’s your earliest memory of you?
What is love? (And why your answer is your secret to clarity)
What are you pretending not to know?
Where is the current taking you?
What does your armour cost your soul? (And how you can reclaim it)
What are you feeding? (And how it shapes the life only you can live)
How do you measure growth?
Whose approval are you waiting for? (and why it holds you back)
What are you chasing? (And what if you already have it)
I still scroll for affirmation... when the silence gets too loud
You are not a seeker... You are the source.
You were never here to matter... Only to be.
You're not a project.
You're not behind... You're listening.
You think you have time
There was never a you
You’re not a piece... You’re the whole. ↓
Nothing needs fixing. Especially not you.
Hold the mirror. Not the ache. 
You’re not broken. You’re being broken.
Nothing to become. Just be
The birthday of no one
Who is experiencing this?
