Yup, it’s been a while. A lot has changed!

Last December I sold everything I own and moved 3,000 miles to provide daily, live-in care for my aging and ailing parents in the countryside of western, PA. Wow! Talk about a practice in grace, humility, and patience. You’ve probably heard the famous Ram Das quote, “If you think you’re enlightened, go spend a week with your family.” Well, 9 months later I am here to tell you that I may be the most unenlightened person I know.

I may very well be the luckiest person, as well. Never is all of my 50 years of living could I have imagined the incredible experience of building the kind of relationship I have with my mom and dad that I have now. Not only has an incredible healing taken place, but I have built a beautiful friendship with the very people who brought me into this world.

In order to be able to do this I had to give up the teaching life that I have cultivated and loved for over 20 years. But I’ve missed teaching so much. As time has gone on the yearning for it has grown. I am taking the necessary steps to make teaching a reality for me again.

The biggest step— and perhaps the hardest step of all— is asking for help. Years ago I attended a talk by David Whyte. He told the story of a woman who came up to him after one of his talks and telling him her story of feeling like she’s not enough. He said that instead of trying to convince her that she is enough he said to her, “What if you’re not enough? What if this is the vulnerable moment when you have to reach out and ask for help?”

Well, this is that moment for me. This is that vulnerable and gut churning moment when i am reaching out to ask for help. I’ve outlined it all below, but I’ve started a GoFundMe to help me get back on track to offer the classes and programs that are meaningful to me and hopefully supportive and inspiring for you, as well. Here’s the DIRECT LINK or scroll down to read more about it.

I am looking forward to connecting with you more and to offering classes and workshops straight from the heart.

Lots of love,

Roger
