For everyone there is challenge and loss.

And there is the possibility of meeting those challenges with kindness and compassion.

Kindness and compassion both for oneself, and for everyone else.

This transforms our minds and hearts and allows us to feel empathy for others.

We have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I manage a wealth management firm that I founded in 2003. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders.

      The more we practice them the more they become habit. After awhile it is hard to picture living life any other way. I’ve got a ways to go on my journey but I like the progress I make on most days. Readers, followers, and bloggers are making the next transition faster and easier than I’d ever imagined. This is a wonderful community!
