Real reinvention doesn’t happen in a flash.
It builds slowly, quietly, until one day we realize we’ve become someone new.
Themes I find myself returning to in my writing—What Matters and Authentic Communication especially.

One explains the world — the other transforms how we live within it.

I return often to these words from Aeschylus’s Agamemnon:
“Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
until, in our own despair, against our will,
comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”
