Love Letters to the World
This seems like just as good as a title for a blog as any. Especially one that doesn’t really have a specific goal or premise.
I came up with this name because that’s what I call step one in my education and content creation process. I sit down with a legal pad and a colorful pen and I write about whatever topic, idea, inspiration, or experience came to mind as though I was writing a love letter that any person in the world might read.
Regardless of what the end product looks and feels like; no matter how refined, silly, passionate, or profound it ends up being, it started from a place of compassion and a desire for understanding and awareness. I firmly believe that you absolutely and unequivocally deserved every piece of information, every tool, and the opportunity to develop every single skill necessary to thrive in this world, from the very beginning. And if Healthy Humaning, if my little corner of the internet is the first place to give you that information, tool, or skill, I want to make sure I give it to you in the most understandable and accessible way possible so that you can integrate it into your life and make use of it from the first moment. I cannot think of anything more pure and loving that education, leading, and mentoring from a place that starts with compassion and the knowledge that this is everything you deserved to have from the start.
However you got here, whatever you were looking for, I hope you found what you want, learned what you need, and found something to share.

Redefining Friendship: The Healthy Humaning Way
Most humans were never thoroughly given all of the information, tools, and skills we need to have healthy, mutually beneficial friendships. So we're all just running around trying to muddle our way through, some of us with more on our side than others, which makes friendship just the big, messy ball of yuck for most people.
