Letting go of perfection, both in others and ourselves, can become a quiet kind of freedom.
We often expect others to be free of whatever makes us uncomfortable.
But that expectation, spoken or not, does real harm.

Attitude shapes how we see the world & how the world sees us. Itโ€™s more than a passing mood. It reflects our emotions, beliefs, & behavior. A positive attitude doesnโ€™t guarantee ease, but it can make challenges feel manageable. It helps us stay grounded, connected, & quietly hopeful

Sometimes change doesnโ€™t arrive as a decision.
It arrives as a quiet pull
toward something new.
Paying attention to that feeling can tell us more than certainty ever does.

We donโ€™t always recognize the moments that shape us.
They donโ€™t announce themselves.
They settle in slowly.

Feeling the quiet pull toward something new is often the first signal of change.

I write about reflection, change, and the small moments that shape us.
If any of my books or essays have meant something to you, a quick star rating on Amazon quietly helps more than most people realize.

You guys caught this too, right?

โ€œDonald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.โ€ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆ noted some girl with a funny name โ€œtook me into a fancy hotel or building, thatโ€™s how it happened.โ€

Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, โ€œI canโ€™t, they will kill me.โ€

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eveโ€”then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for foodโ€”taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Good literature makes us more than ourselvesโ€”letting us see with othersโ€™ eyes and feel with other hearts. Thatโ€™s why stories still matter.

Real reinvention doesnโ€™t happen in a flash.
It builds slowly, quietly, until one day we realize weโ€™ve become someone new.

Alignment isnโ€™t about perfection. Itโ€™s when your choices finally stop arguing with your values. When something inside you quietly says: โ€œThis feels like me.โ€

Goodreads has never clicked for me.
After 20+ years of checking back in, it still feels like a maze that makes simple things harder than they should be.
Great idea, confusing execution & I still wish it worked better

Sometimes what we call coincidence is really the result of a choice we made long before.
The path creates the moment.
The moment reminds us to pay attention.
