Life is Not A Straight Line

I recently had a friend insist that I read the book The Alchemist. It tells the story of a young shepherd who travels far and wide in search of a treasure he repeatedly dreams about. On his journey, he overcomes obstacles and strives to interpret recurring dreams which teach him what we all eventually come to realize: life is not linear, and destiny is formed through a succession of meaningful people and experiences—not one grand, defining moment

This small book has become my anthem. It affirms what I hope to share through my writing: that we all have a purpose that will drive us daily and guide throughout the seasons of our lives if we let it. Much of what I write about traces how we discover purpose in the quiet ebb and flow of the mundane—how, despite all that appears to oppose us, a transcendent force carries us to precisely where we are meant to be, at the moment we most need to arrive.

I invite you to follow my page and explore my writings as I journey to spread insight, inspiration, joy, and humor on this windy, harrowing, unpredictable, remarkable journey we call life.
