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.

Purpose is not a luxury.
Someone recently told me he would love to consider his purpose, once he was a little older and well established. Then, a young woman suggested that she was too busy making ends meet, to think about trying to live with intention. I understand how stressed many of us...
