Had I not gone through the last 6 months, with just slight chest pain, a few days that I thought I could not survive and a handful of sleepless nights, I would not have understood what it is like to stand on the other side of a tennis court with Serena. In the infamous words of […]
June and July proved to be the deciding months I anticipated. Life re-balanced in relationship to myself and others with renewed vigor and anticipation. Goals that were set months ago were realized according to plans. We all need to learn the lessons associated with letting go. Seems like we push against those lessons in spite […]
