My Love of Life Energy
In a faded ballroom near the San Francisco Airport, I stood on paisley carpet, the chandeliers trembling as planes roared overhead. Richard Strozzi, a sixth-degree black belt in Aikido, had just said:
“Stop and feel your feet.”
I couldn’t.
I knew my feet were there, but I couldn’t feel them. That moment opened a doorway I didn’t know I was seeking—a longing to experience myself from the inside out.

A Career Coach's Reflection from Limantour Beach
Over the past two years, my partner and I have visited Limantour Beach about three times a month. People often tease me—
“Oh, what a surprise,” or “Again, really?”
But this place is more than a favorite spot.
It’s my sanctuary—and one of my greatest teachers.
Each time I visit, the light, the weather, and the birdlife change. Some days pelicans dive through the sky with wild grace. Other days, the beach feels stripped back and still. I never know what I’ll find.
That’s what makes it so alive.
And that’s exactly how transformation works—in nature and in our careers.
