Birthdays have always been a big deal to me. I love to take myself on Wise Walks to reflect on what I was doing last year, who I was with, what my priorities were, and how I was feeling.

EP203: What Does Retreat Mean to You?

EP202: Weathering Storms
Wherever you are in geographical space, I hope that you are not weathering any literal or metaphorical storms right now.

Also, I am metaphorically going through a big transition, and it feels like I’ve been managing a storm for a while now.
