OPUS
I am teaming up with the few that embrace the challenge of living a life
filled with purpose and love.
I am creating deep connections with a few and over time influence many. I
am a voracious learner – reading, writing, and having meaningful
conversations with those that challenge me to be my very best. I am fueled
by a knowing that this is the work I am intended to do – one that allows me
to serve those willing to answer the nudge that living a great life is possible.
I am constantly chasing excellence in every facet of this work. This allows
me to serve others in a way that connects with each unique individual. I
am creating opportunities to see life with clarity and meaning and to be
alongside each person as they walk their own path. I am holding my hand
out, waiting for the next person to grab it feel the embrace knowing they will
never be a lone again – together we transform.

Purpose
To elevate our awareness so we can understand how to become ONE

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES:
“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work
and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education
and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his
vision of excellence through whatever he is doing and leaves others to
determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears
to be doing both.”
– Francois Chateaubriand

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong
man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who
comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and
shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows
great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy
cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that
his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know
victory nor defeat.”
– Teddy Roosevelt

“Our chief want in life is someone who shall make us do what we can.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

“We need to listen to understand in the same way we want to be
understood.”
– Brene’ Brown

“You can’t lead others further than you’ve led yourself.”

“You can’t go back and make a new start, but you can start right now and
make a new ending.”
– James R. Sherman
