It's not what life throws at you, it's how you catch it
Resilience
I write for people who are facing tough challenges, which will eventually include all of us, to offer real life solutions. I write in order to:
-
Offer fresh ideas that can make all the difference
-
Reduce unnecessary suffering caused by faulty ideas and expectations
-
Convey quiet wisdom and perspective
-
Provide a nudge to take action in tough times
-
Share the belief that that we can do so much more than we imagine
-
Inject humor and attitude wherever it fits
My Backstory
I write to share what I have learned, with more people in more places.
​
I was two years old when my father died in a place crash...
Intelligent self-help and narrative nonfiction that includes:
-
Robust ideas that challenge conventional wisdom
-
Memoir and storytelling to illustrate those ideas in real lives
-
Imaginative approaches that inspire vision and action
-
Search for meaning that transforms pain into wisdom
Why I Write
What I Write
I Am Careful Not To...
-
Make things simpler than they are
-
Paper over the pain that comes with loss and trauma
-
Pretend that solutions are quick or easy
