♦◊♦ Just over three years ago, in 2012, I was living with 5 people in a small home in Los Angeles that I would have been embarrassed to invite you into. I was 38 and sleeping on an air mattress in a tiny upstairs bedroom surrounded by Goodwill furniture and scratched up walls. I was
Ohhh, this life is so gloriously fleeting … please enjoy deeply whatever moment you find yourself in. No matter how crazy things seem; it will all be over so quickly.

I’m certainly discovering there is no such thing as an “objective truth” to share, anyway. For all my experiences, there are seemingly infinite filters through which
