How limitation can unleash potential in life and art.

WTWN #93 - Stop asking “Why?" ”How” is the Question.
Asking “How?” can help you better manage anxiety. Or any problem, really.
On my Substack this week, I explore the shift from asking "Why am I like this?" to asking "How can I move forward?"—a reframe that shares insights from Jane Goodall and Viktor Frankl.
👉 Read the piece: "Stop Asking 'Why.' 'How' Is the Question."

WTWN #91 - "Still Anxious After All These Years "
As I turn 61, I reflect on the paradox of aging: how much we change and stay the same. In this week's Substack, I explore anxiety as both a lifelong companion and a quiet architect of many of our choices.

This photo should be a "Meanwhile in Finland" meme. I took this picture of the entry into the dome where my daughter played a soccer match at 8 a.m. Sunday morning. It was just as cold inside as you might imagine. Moon? No extra charge.
