When my stepdad passed a few years ago, I bought a silver bracelet custom engraved with his and my mother’s initials: T & C. I rarely took it off, unless I was afraid I’d lose it swimming, or break it when working out. But then – crossing the border by foot into Costa…
This is a story about what happens when we allow fear and panic to fuel our decisions. And . . . . it’s another story about Tino, and the life lessons I learn from my cat. For those of you following, my one-and-a-half-year-old kitty has recently survived her third horrifying free fall. Her third.…
Since kicking off this newsletter, I aim to share not just my services, but my personal stories. Episodes and events that pepper my life in lesson-learning ways that I hope will offer some kind of relevancy to my readers, through humor or connection in some way.
