NEW ESSAY: Limiting Snapshots
.
“Images frozen in time are precious, but I’ve been thinking about how they can also be dangerous in terms of memory and perception. That one moment captured can determine how we remember events or reactions. Positively or negatively.”

New essay: Sabbatical
.
“My summer of sabbatical was not about indulgence, but about healing. It was about unraveling my natural inclination to take care of everybody, to chase after people, to schedule myself to death, and to seek meaning and worth through doing. It has been about restricting energy flow to certain parts of my life so that other parts may thrive. It’s about making purposeful decisions about what I do and don’t do.”
