The Present

I launched this site in the midst of my “professional halftime,” in Fall 2019. After 20+ years in the corporate world, I took the summer off to invest in my family (last year, we moved back to the States after eight years in China) and to write a book.

“We create as we speak.” 

“We create as we speak.” 

I just learned the Aramaic phrase, “abruq ad babra”, which means that we create as we speak. I’m other words, as we give voice to a desire, we manifest that reality. No wonder it has become the magician’s “abracadabra”! But going back to the idea, do you believe...
