Play BIG. Live Authentically.

There is no benefit to us or to the world if we play into the limitations of social stereotypes of who we should be. There is no benefit to us or to the world if we direct our energy reacting to our critics or trying to prove them wrong. To do so would be to play small and not live authentically, denying ourselves our birthright to let our talents to flourish. So let’s choose to play big.

Celebrate the opportunity to give a hand up!

I am fortunate to have benefitted from the changes and to now have the opportunity to give a hand up to others. The journey continues towards a world in which all people, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, can take their place according to their ability and aspiration.

that we somehow find new directions and rediscover the purpose of our life’s journey.
It takes courage to confront the fears that prevent us from living purposefully and authentically.
Choose courage over fear. It’s well worth it.
