I know what it’s like to feel like you just can’t be enough, give enough, earn enough, love enough, or even think good enough thoughts.
You’re not alone if you're tired of trying to rehab your thinking and improve the kind of person you are. Let me introduce you to life expanded, and to how much more becomes available when you finally stop trying to fix yourself!
I know what it’s like to recover from hope-to-die drug addiction and end up enjoying life more than you ever dreamed you would (and in my case, living twice as long as I imagined).
I learned a great deal of what I know about design and branding in national advertising agencies servicing corporate accounts.
Things have definitely changed. These days, when I do branding and design work, you’ll find me collab-ing with solopreneurs and micro businesses: healers and dreamers, changemakers and disruptors, coaches and consultants.
Are you ready to make effective changes to your branding? Or are you ready to take your business/practice in an entirely new direction? Learn what’s useful to do to ensure that your wisdom, skills, love, and passion are clearly present in every aspect of your brand.
If you’re ready to create a brand foundation that really truly serves your business, you, and your clients, then we should definitely talk.
I’m most at home when I’m leaning on a redwood tree, or walking by the ocean, or on the dance floor in lead/follow lindy hop and blues bliss.
I’m a crafter and a maker. I paint, collage, sculpt, grow, cook, brew kombucha, make medicines (my own toothpaste, topical remedies) and beauty products. Email me for info and to order.
I’ve been on a deep spiritual inner journey since I began to meditate and study tai chi in the ’70s. I have — and use and teach — a deep toolbag of potent and easily implementable transformational technologies. (If it’s simple I’m more likely to actually do it.)
At 70 years of age, I'm functionally fit. As time goes by, my body and its abilities change. What I do to stay fit and engaged and strong keeps evolving as I evolve. The current menu of activities that are working for me include: my decades-long tai chi and sword form practice; neighborhood strolls and easy hikes in the gorgeous countryside all around me; suspension-rig strength training; and flexibility and postural workouts.
I do my fitness practices in bite-size chunks throughout the day, which make for great breaks from my desk time. I use wearable tech that tracks my movements (and lack thereof), and provides encouraging reminders to get off my tush. So helpful for one like me who can spend hours in front of the computer.
I’ve been clean and sober since 1991. Which means that for a very long time I wasn’t. Which means that I can meet you exactly where you are at. Are you a survivor? Did your path include some grit and trauma too? I’ll receive your darkness with zero judgement, and celebrate your resilience and your light with love and compassion.
The time I spend engaging with life as it is feels better than the time I spend bitching and moaning about what I can’t do, have, or be (in this moment anyway).
I get to give more when I’m present than when I’m stewing in imagined future miseries. I get more out of life when I’m with what is than when I’ve plonked myself into regret and grief for who and what I’ve lost.
Even when I’m scared and sad about life and how it’s life-ing, I can embrace and engage with what’s available now, in this moment. I remember that this moment is the only one I’ve got, the only moment there is.
Those pathetic future outcomes I imagine are entirely made up. I’d rather use my magic imagining powers that we all have to conjure a juicy, friendly, gorgeous outcome and walk myself right at it.
