I write daily and then use these reflections as pieces for contemplation and meditation over the coming days and weeks.
Over the past 5 years, what was once practically non-existent - peace of mind, clarity and freedom - has become harmonious and consistent.
Each day, the bonds get weaker and life is more joyful.
I use these reflections as a way to remember the essential and forget the non-essential.
I post the interesting ones here for anyone who’s interested in exploring a different perspective.
I don’t send newsletters. If you’d like to see my new posts regularly, I recommend setting a reminder on your preferred device. I update this section weekly, sometimes daily.
