The “show me how you thrived challenge.”

2006/2019
I don’t know about you, but I did way more interesting things than continue to have birthdays over the past 13 years.
The pic on the left is my first profile picture for Facebook. It was taken in my office at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar. I was freshly divorced and scrambling to find the proverbial, “what NOW?” I was working at least six days a week, smoked a lot, was in terrible physical shape, and felt tense and lonely. Now, many yoga mats and meditation cushions later, I work less for more money, am married to a deliriously wonderful man, and no matter what the fuck life throws at me, I know I will be OK. All because I learned how to tap into the still part of myself that is liquid unconditional loving, and stop taking everything so damn seriously.
