Freedom and the Familiar
With yesterday’s 250th Independence Day, I felt compelled to engage with a little history, a documentary here and there, and a fresh read of the Declaration of Independence itself — since that’s what yesterday marked.
My mission is to help leaders and organizations embrace mindful growth and create meaningful, strategic impact — leading and living more consciously in a rapidly changing world. I guide people to grow through challenge, lead with clarity and compassion, and create systems where human flourishing and sustainable success go hand in hand.
The Wisdom of Unlearning
As I enjoy the third week of my short “refresh,” I came across something too good not pass along. It’s attributed to a Zen proverb: “Knowledge is learning something every day. Wisdom is letting go of something every day.”
Celebrating Fatherhood
Today I’m reflecting on fatherhood in all its forms. There’s the biological father — whether known or not — who gives us life. There’s the father figure — the one who shows up, raises us, teaches us, and guides us.
A Little Sunday Refresh
This morning, I found myself thinking about the Sunday Share itself. I love writing these reflections and sharing them with you. And I want to keep them feeling fresh, relevant, and meaningful — not something I simply produce because Sunday rolled around again.
Still Molting After All These Years
I’ve been thinking again about lobsters. It’s not a new theme, in fact, I explored it right here, a little over a year ago. When a lobster grows, it cannot simply expand the shell that is already there. The very structure that once protected it becomes what now constrains it. So the lobster has to molt.
The Gifts of a Disorienting Dilemma
This week, I found myself wondering what wisdom I could possibly offer when I am still very much inside a struggle. Not triumphantly on the other side. Not holding some beautiful lesson tied with a bow. Just here, learning in the messy middle.
Discovering the Little Trinkets of Grace
Today, I feel lighter. I don’t know exactly why. Perhaps it is the weather. Perhaps it was an unexpected email from a dear friend. Or a freshly groomed dog. Or a generative conversation about the deepest purpose and most expansive vision of our startup. Or the simple medicine of connecting with friends, family, and nature.
The Air Fryer and Enlightenment
My brother sent me a funny Instagram reel this week from comedian Davide De Pierro about the impossible task of buying a Mother’s Day gift. In the bit, he expresses frustration at what his mother wants. Instead of saying something manageable like “an air fryer” or “a Yankee Candle,” she says, “I just want you to be happy.”
What Can We Trust When We are Letting Go?
Lately, I’ve been sitting with a deeper layer of releasing. Not the invigorating kind, where we finally donate the sweater, clear the closet, or make a clean decision. For me, the answer is not always found in the circumstances themselves. Those can shift, disappoint, confuse, or break our hearts.
The Practice of Discernment
This week, I experimented with a mindfulness app that rings a bell at random moments throughout the day. Each time it sounded, I was invited to pause and ask a simple question: Where am I right now?
