I'm Back

It's been a long time since I posted anything. This last year has been a year of growth and change. Of the many things that happened, three stick out as particularly huge. First, I started a masters program at the University of Santa Monica in Spiritual Psychology. Going through the first year of the program helped me to not only develop a strong set of tools for healing old wounds, but also apply them directly to my life. It's been a really healing time for me in many ways. The love and support I felt from my classmates was incredible. If nothing else, that feeling made everything totally worth it.

Second, I left my position at ICI to start my own company, Cadence Research & Consulting. Its been a fun and wild ride. I can honestly say that I have really enjoyed my time with my clients. I truly hope they and their companies do well. My intention for starting Cadence was to work with and for people I respect and whose company I enjoy. I know that attitude is not hardcore business, but those are the clients I want. If you are not nice, I don't want to work with or for you. So far its worked out really well. I think it can continue. Ironically, because I am in a start-up phase, I am really busy. So much so, I had to drop my USM program because I couldn't attend all the classes. The other thing that happened was that I lost my friendship with a very close friend, Jill. I still miss her friendship but I guess its time to move on.

Third, the accident. My friend Angela died about 9 months ago. Still feel like I can't write about it. She died. I lived. Why? In the weeks following the accident, my wounds healed quickly. I remember thinking that I was embarrassed about it. The heaviness of that moment always comes back.

Anyway, I will try to write more consistently.

Peace all...
