Sharing Stories and Life Lessons

I never knew I would become a writer. After 14 years of enjoying a successful law career, I thought my professional life  was pretty well set.  But in 1994, I had a serious illness which changed my life and gave me the courage to listen to that still, small voice within  - a voice which told me that there was something more I was meant to do with my life than negotiate real estate transactions and business  deals.

Now, 15 years later, I can happily say that I am a “recovering” attorney, who has found deep satisfaction, meaning and joy in the work I do as  a writer, teacher and public speaker.

So many of us search for meaning in our lives.  Look  in any bookstore and you will find hundreds of books telling you  how to find your  “true bliss”  or authentic purpose in life. Books may help us, friends can guide us, spiritual practices can give us ways to quiet the mind and elevate the soul. But I think its much simpler than most of us realize. That if we take a step back and distance ourselves from the chaos of everyday life, that deep down, there are truths that we know about ourselves that only we can hear, if we have the courage to listen.

But enough philosophizing! I don’t really speak “blog” yet but look forward to sharing stories, life lessons, questions and concerns with you in the coming months.

Blessings,

Amy
