Something I’ve been noticing and working with recency is a sense of urgency I carry with me. Subconsciously wishing my life away, counting the minutes until the end of whatever task I’m working on, so I can get to the next one. Even when there isn’t a next one. I notice that when I meditate, […]

Listen up. I see you, and I see right through you. Your inauthenticity is killing you. I see you hiding behind a mask of half-truths, omissions, and lies. I see you trying to please everyone and be everything to everyone, but in the process, you’re losing yourself. I see you putting on an act, for

You haven’t heard much from me in December, intentionally. I’ve been in the UK, spending time with friends and family, reconnecting after nearly three years away. It has been a magical time, meeting three new family members for the first time, eating far too much and not doing any exercise at all. A relentless march
When was the last time you asked for what you want? I mean really, really want. That thing that’s deep inside you. The thing you have never uttered a word to anyone about. the thing that keeps you awake at night. For me, one of them is circumnavigating the world, travelling by ski and kite
