Whether it’s asking for help, trying a new approach, or stepping onto a yoga mat for the first time, positive risks empower us to build confidence, resilience, and trust in ourselves. These small but intentional steps plant the seeds for transformation. As I’ve learned through my own journey—from teaching yoga in unconventional spaces to becoming a Zen priest and life coach—embracing uncertainty can lead to unexpected joy and purpose. What risk might you take today to move your life in a new direction?

Synchronicity

“Cold, isn’t it?” I said. Then a conversation ensued. Michael was his name. He was a writer, a poet and a creative. He wrote poems from crossword words. He had written a lot. Homemade books upon books that he created using his computer. He worked with his hands, did odd jobs or designed spaces and things for larger corporations, like Target, for money. He did just enough to feed his love for writing, spoken word and travel. He spoke of his travels, of his youth.
