About

Hi! Welcome to my blog.

I just turned 62 years old.  I have been journaling for 42 years.  I first started writing to practice the spiritual discipline of reflection or mindfulness.  in all that time, I have never shared a word of it publicly.  Last year I had to wind down my business after being CEO for over 20 years.  It has been an incredibly painful but also redemptive experience.  In fact, it has been a transformational experience.  As I was working through all this a friend told me I should start capturing what I was thinking and feeling while I was in the midst of it by writing it down.  Later she observed that others might be interested in hearing about my journey if I could be vulnerable while sharing it.  A short time after that discussion I was watching a Netflix special called “ Springsteen on Broadway”.  At the end of the show Bruce commented that he had been trying to share his life and the stories he has heard along the way in his songs.  Over his career he realized that it connected people to their own stories. I decided to start this blog to do the same, to share my story…as kind of “travel notes” along the way. As scary as it is for me, I hope that maybe by sharing my story it can help you connect with yours.
