After It Starts to Work

Becoming | Learning who I am, and letting go of who I’ve been.

When It Starts to Work | What it’s like when life finally begins to go right.

When it Pulls You Back | The fear, doubt and old habits that appear just as things improve.

The People Along the Way | The strangers, helpers and relationships that shape the path.

What Remains | The losses, symbols and truths I carry with me.

What I’m Made Of | The work, the wins and the strength I build on.

Listening In | The quiet voice beneath the noise. (Appearing soon)

Day three of a twelve-day hike, and I knew I couldn’t go on. What a detour taught me about bad days.

I crossed the finish line, clear-headed and proud, and then I wanted a drink. Why the pull is loudest when I’m closest.

I was there to clean her house. She taught me something I carried for years.

A phone call, a deposit, a collaboration, all in one week, after years of waiting. What the quiet years were doing.

Standing in a hotel lobby, I felt the old apology rise. Here is what I’ve learnt about catching it.

Everything was going right, and I was bracing for the worst. Why calm can feel like danger.

The money was growing and so was the panic. Where the feeling that good things get taken came from, and how I started putting it down.

Nothing I own has changed. What changed is how I see it. A quiet evening and what it taught me about enough.
