About life cheerleaders, avengers and how Fearless is a book for everyone..
In Fearless, I wrote, “…a unique network of life cheerleaders–people who love me, support me and genuinely wish me the very best.

Books, (Audio)books and (NO)books
A couple of weeks ago, a lovely lady asked me if I preferred printed or digital books. That was an easy answer.

Ideas about Ideas
Below is a short essay I wrote around 2016. It perfectly describes how I have felt these past few weeks.

Riddles & Explanations
It has been surprisingly difficult to process the fact that I completed a marathon. Part of me even feels we did not celebrate properly; it feels like it didn’t actually sink in. In the past few days, I have kept repeating myself: “Yes, you ran 42 kilometers, yes, you finished the race”. I remember thatContinue reading “Riddles & Explanations”
