As its name suggests, my Blogiary is part blog and part diary. Some of my writings are deeply personal, but I feel they contain lessons or insights that may be helpful to anyone who might read them. I’ve always dreamed of being a resource for people who are searching for their authentic selves. Through my experiences and those of others, I try to find teaching and learning opportunities. (This is related to, but not part of, the coaching process.) As a result, my family and friends may sometimes recognize their own experiences or situations in my blogiary or other social media. Please understand that I intend only to use your story as a metaphor or allegory to help people better understand potential solutions to, or viewpoints on, their particular issue. Your identity will always remain anonymous.
