Everybody has a Some Day
Some days, we are running so hard and so fast that it gets hard to connect to the source. Things start to feel glitchy and slow. Disconnected. Disorienting, even. Perhaps we’re so in it. Or carrying so much we don’t know how to unload. Holding things tightly (again!). Too much happening. Pulled in multiple directions. ... Continue Reading →
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on duality. Yin and yang. Happy and sad. Brave and afraid. Right brain and left brain. Today and Some Day. The question I keep coming back to – How do we hold both?

Being a grown up. That big move. Marriage. Having kids. The promotion you’ve been working towards. The career you thought you wanted. We have great expectations. About all sorts of things. And it’s wonderful and exciting. Developing a vision for what is possible is powerful and motivating. It’s that fire that keeps you engaged and... Continue Reading →
We often speak of our different lives. Our work life. Our personal life. Our family life. Isn’t it true, though, that we have only, as Mary Oliver says, “one wild and precious life”?

For a long time in my career, I struggled to take vacation and to truly unplug if I did. I thrive on productivity and it always felt impossible to really step away.
