Personally:
“You were
born with potential. You were born with goodness and grace. You were born with dreams and ideals. You were
born with greatness. You were born with wings. You were not meant for crawling, so don’t. You
have wings. Learn to use them and fly." -- Rumi, Sufi Mystic and Poet
I love this quote and I also believe
it to be SO true. It presupposes that Rumi noticed people crawling where they didn’t need to, and
also that he knew something or believed in something different than they did. If we presuppose that we are all eternal
beings, then “eternity” is a long time to be crawling, so personally, I strive to be open to learning and taking
action to get things done better, quicker and faster than ever before.
When I was younger,
I had a completely different concept of time and of a lot of things for that matter (but don’t let my picture fool you
as I graduated from college in 1982 – you do the math :-). I now know how precious and short “time”
is. Personally, there is still so much I dream of being, doing, and having and am on a committed and accelerated path
to accomplishing my goals. This is definitely not to say that I don’t slow down to smell the roses, but it is
to say I also know there’s no limit to what I may want to do in the future, so I want to be smarter
about how I choose to use my time and resources and to have fun doing it.
But back to crawling, at different points in my life, I was crawling with self-doubting and self-imposed limitations; and
I was also circling around with fears that were holding me back. Now these states aren’t the end of the world
but it can sure feel like it when there’s something important to you in your life that you really want to accomplish
whether it is in the area of your relationships, your family, your career, and your health. And for those of you who
may deal with this pattern and want to change it, I’m here to say there is a better, faster, and harmonious way
to change this and it would be a privilege to partner with you to help make this change.

I live in San Diego with my partner, my mother-in-law and two mini-poodles. My eight brothers
and sisters, their spouses, children, all totaling 31 are also here in SD.....we are abundant to say the least.
For most of our lives, I have been considered the “sage,” the wise one, and affectionately embraced
and seeked out as in-house counsel.
