Category Archives: Authenticity & Purpose

I discovered my purpose gradually by committing myself to unwavering self-awareness grounded in cherishing myself unconditionally. By creating a life worth living, I learned the art of living—enjoying the journey. My own life is my greatest creative work. One of the most precious gifts I can give anyone is having the honesty and courage to see and share myself fully so that we both might benefit from our shared insight, compassion, and good humor—failures, resilience, victories. We are here to help each other grow by sharing without reservation the only thing we have to give—our authentic selves. You are a unique cocreative expression of the Divine. You are a precious natural resource not to be taken for granted. You are worthy just as you are, with your delightful blend of gifts and annoying little quirks. In all of time, you are the only you in the entire Universe. You are enough—perfect just as you are in this moment.
