She is gone. I'm out of words. What kind of emotions and feelings am I supposed to have now that she has departed? Good people keep leaving us sooner than we would like, but why? I don't know, and I'm not looking for the answer. In fact, I don't even want to know. There might … Continue reading She departed

A trip around the sun
The past week was spent celebrating my birthday. It surprisingly lasted the whole week. And I had the most precious people celebrating it with me. I'm thankful for that. This year I missed spending my birthday around other good friends that have left the Bay Area or my life in general. Turning around the sun … Continue reading A trip around the sun
Starting
Most of us are scared to begin something: a new job, a new relationship, a new business, a conversation, a step forward, aside, or down... You are not the only one.

After you attain it, it’s nothing special.”* It’s in our natural human capacity to overvalue things that are outside of our control and things that we don’t own yet, giving them more significance than they’re originally valued at.
