Feeling a Little Heavy in the New Year?
The New Year affects us all differently. For some, it brings excitement and relief—a fresh start, especially for those who find the holidays overwhelming. For others, it means taking down the twinkle lights, packing away the decorations, and feeling a little sluggish about returning to work after a much-needed break. But wherever you land—whether it’s…
Highs, Lows & A Bad Haircut
As New Year’s Eve rolls around, I always feel a mix of reflection and anticipation. This past year was a good one for me—but like most good years, it wasn’t without its hills and valleys. There were small wins. Like, I finally broke 100 on the golf course. And there were aches and pains—this week’s special…
When the World Feels Heavy
This has been a week when many hearts have felt heavier than usual. A childhood friend died after what looked like a hopeful recovery, only for a more devastating diagnosis to follow. He was only sixty—someone who lived many lives at once: father, husband, creative force, and a friend I had carried with me for…

There’s the excitement, of course—time off work, the promise of delicious food, seeing family and friends, a change in the seasons, football for those who love it, and in my case, a little extra time to play golf. But like many holidays,…
What If There Are No Wrong Choices?
Transitions are strange places. They’re the in-between. The uncomfortable hallway between one door closing and another not yet open. We know something is ending. We feel it, but the new beginning hasn’t fully revealed itself… yet. And in that space, things often feel murky. Heavy. Dark. Like we’re walking through fog waiting for the sun to…
There Are No Rainbows Without Rain
This morning, I went for an early walk around my neighborhood with a friend. Just as we started down the road, it began to drizzle. My first thought was, “Darn, why didn’t I bring my rain jacket?” But I decided to just go with it. It wasn’t heavy rain, nor was it particularly cold. Just wet.…
