“All too often life looks like a disaster on the windshield, and then like a miracle in the rear view mirror.”
“If something is going to look good at some future point, whether months or years or generations away, it looks good now. That decision helped me not to wait for a better day when I was enduring the worst of cancer treatment. I knew that was when the medicine was working. That was when the miracle was really taking place.
As a transformational speaker I share the art of engaging the experiences of our lives to generate the healing and revelation we need to meet the profound changes taking place in our world. We are born to this time and we are the ones to carry humanity forward. Each and every one of us is part of the drama on the windshield, and the poetry and promise we create makes the future possible.”
