If there’s ever a time you feel that the inner architecture I discuss here is something you'd like to explore with some depth, I welcome you to visit my Substack, The Shadow Line.

For further exploration, you may view and purchase eBooks on Amazon, Google Play Books, or on Curios. I specialize in writing that explores growth, self-awareness, and human potential. Along the way, I have learned that these human complexities live in the messy, everyday work of reflection, context, and connection.

I am not a self-help author. I am the creator of Existential Expansion Philosophy (EEP) through my decades-long journaling practice. Everything I build are entry points into EEP. This work is experiential, not theoretical and readers arrive at EEP through practice (journaling, auditing, and reflecting).

The Shadow Line is the philosophical backbone of Existential Expansion—the deep, reflective exploration of awareness, dimension, and the cost of moving through the world as a sensitive, neurodivergent mind.

When you're finished here today, I look forward to coffee & conversation with you.

This May Not Be the Best Time

To Stop is to Succeed

To stop is to succeed because to stop is to listen to your needs speak.

Let the mind beware, that though the flesh be bugged, the circumstances of existence are pretty glorious. ―Jack Kerouac
