More Exemplary

More Exemplary is an ongoing quest: to determine the ways we can live our lives better and more completely. The path to contentment includes looking deep within as well as connecting with the world around you. I’m connecting with some of my favorite people from different walks of life in order to learn how they find happiness for themselves and enhance the world for others. I’m also drawing on my experience as a licensed therapist to help people figure out how to create nourishing and sustaining relationships. Step by step, discovery by discovery, join me to lead a life more exemplary.
