Today is special. The time has come for a new beginning. There are shifts in priorities, with ideas connecting what can happen when minds open to different ways of doing things. I’m making it personal.

Over the past few years, I’ve struggled. There have been challenges with my family, health issues, separations, divorces, all the things that people face together. There have been changes professionally, keeping up with an ever evolving field of technology and marketing, and how to maneuver through the chaos and be heard. Most of all, there has been an internal struggle in my heart and deep within my soul. I have been doing what I thought I should do for everyone else instead of what I know I need to do for me.

I’m facing a period of time where I have responsibilities to my teenage son at one end of the spectrum and my 80+ year old Mom on the other. I know I’m not alone in having to deal with this. I’m also facing the fact that I have to create an income that not only supports me, but allows me to save for my own health care, retirement and emergencies. As an entrepreneur, there’s no perks, no paid holidays, no benefits package unless I budget it for myself.

On a deeper level, I believe I’m in this place in time for a reason. My deeply held spiritual convictions are that there is something we are each put here to do. I hold a broad perspective that we are all more alike than we are different. With that said, my vision is to create a respectful dialogue between what is not working in our world and possible solutions that can be accomplished serving the greater good. It’s not a dream, it’s an imperative for our time.

There is the reality, illuminated for me and the world. I’ll be using this space to share the journey. Some posts will be personal. Some posts will be spiritual. Some posts will be political. All posts will be expressing my own opinion and will invite polite and respectful discourse. I’m energized to embark on this adventure. Join me!
