HOW I UNCOMPLICATED MY LIFE

I spent years creating TV ads designed to convince people that they needed to purchase my client’s latest innovation to be HAPPY.

Feeling the years slipping by, and eager for MORE MEANING, I discovered minimalism, a powerful pathway toward intentionality. This radically changed the course of my life trajectory. I started journaling and the more I wrote, the more it became clear that I wanted a simpler, LIGHTER life. The following essays, drawn from my blog, give an up-close view of my personal journey.
