01THE OPERATOR

Leadership, systems, the rooms with real stakes. Tight, upright, a table of contents.

02THE RECKONING

The layers coming off. The circles that lead to the next. The dark, earned.

the undoing
The UndoingI stepped into the shower as quickly as the water was warming. Hair wet, soap on my face, back in the water. Check, done.
F'IT to BeginBorn out of the moment I stripped every layer off my body and slipped into the cold rushing water.
Remove the layersYou fight to keep the layers. But some layers need to come off.
on healing
Each circle leads to the nextThe space between what was and what will be.
Let the voices inThere's more, better thoughts behind that first one.
Keep the joy, buddyWe the children who were hurt beyond healing. We are still whole.
Walk together into the beautiful unknownThe need to be the hero, not the rescued.
on love
Own your natural beautifulDoes the fear decide the way?
Love prevailsYou focused on the work? That's ok. You put up some walls? That's ok too.
Love in every seasonFlowers bound to bloom. Leaves' red reward of great work.
Love, oh LoveYou are a wild one. Ever-changing. Opening new eyes, new doors.
on joy & nature
Queenstown goofinessIt's actually ok to be a big goofball. A little nerdy.
Yosemite's glory remainsWhen the glass is already shattered, even the tiniest grain sends the shards crashing.
The Grand Canyon, Ooh AahComing back to the heart, the core, home.
The grandeur of the canyonOn two rim to rim hikes through the Grand Canyon, I had the honor of helping another.

LOVE.
