Packages Of Life

Like pine cones guarding the future of towering conifers, we each carry seeds of potential within us. These seeds—ideas, ambitions, transformations—are released not in moments of ease, but in conditions that demand resilience. Just as pine cones open in dry air and close in damp, we respond to the entropy of life: expanding when challenged, retreating when overwhelmed. Growth, then, is not a linear path but a dynamic response to the shifting climate of our inner and outer worlds. In embracing this rhythm, we learn to thrive amid uncertainty

Watch this short video from the John 10:10 Project. The remarkable cone of a Knob Cone pine tree is both an impenetrable vault and a launch pad for flying seeds that can restore a devastated forest. Watch an incredible provision for life and evidence for intelligent design in this fascinating video.

After multiple surgeries and years managing chronic conditions like CRPS and fibromyalgia, I slowly began to reclaim my health and momentum...

My Road to Recovery

Image
I began mentoring and coaching small business owners in 2022, following a successful career spanning over 40 years in management positions and recent retirement from IBM as an IT Project Manager.  In the later part of my career, I sustained injuries that changed my life, consuming both my internal and external resources. I was mentally, physically, and spiritually broken. It was a rough and lonely road to travel while trying to recover from injuries that take time and attention to heal. Having a background in the mental health industry as a Mental Health Technician and group therapy facilitator, I tried traditional methods of healing and recovery. Unfortunately, I experienced what many have: traditional methods offered little to no lasting solutions, and with a chronic nerve disorder, I needed a lifelong solution. Disgusted and wanting to end the turmoil, I was willing to try just about anything to ease the pain and blur the memory of who I was before my injury, but nothing worked....
