In these letters, I write about obvious, yet mostly overlooked stuff, present-moment awareness, “truths” I contemplate or feel in awe of, unsolicited advice on living unfolded midlife, and fun (sometimes not so fun) stories I got one or more revelations from.

Speaking of revelations, here’s one of my biggest:

The only way I can influence the future is to own the present; however, I find it. And this with grace and kindness and appreciation. If I inhabit this moment with full awareness, the next moment will be very different because of my very presence in this one. Then, I just might find imaginative ways to live the life that is actually mine to live fully.

Living mindfully is one of the most extraordinary things you can do for yourself.

So, I dare you to demand the best for yourself.

I dare you to care.
