You know that new life transition I wrote about in my last entry? It’s this – I started a podcast! I honestly never thought I would do something like this – and it’s been so intense! Becoming Me is just the latest development in my Journey of the Heart. And I am so excited to […]
About 3 months ago, I was launched into a major personal transition. This was the latest bend in the road in my ongoing discernment and discovery of personal vocation. Quite without warning, I was propelled into planning for a major new creative undertaking and a new business – something I had never in my life […]
