a poem from my book “becoming more human: words from the soul”…i hope when you read it you know that someone fully sees you…that there are no holes…my good friend Camille once said this to me and it still inspires me today…
in particular this morning i was struggling to see who i am. i am in transition with careers, a new city and was feeling confused with what to do…
but i realized the running theme through everything i have worked on in life that gives me great joy is “seeing people”…and i believe it is my main gift…
so i wanted to share this poem to make sure you reading this know…i fully see you…just like Camille did for me that day a few years ago…
much love and sawubona,

i asked for advice
on my new idea
but likely without knowing
the way i asked
came from the part of me
that always felt like
i had a lot of holes
so i said with trepidation
“here is the idea…will you
poke any holes in it?”
i waited and waited
5 seconds seemed like 2 years
as i did in other areas of my life
i braced for what was…
