Writing fiction is a conversation with my subconscious. Deeply rooted karma emerges in the themes of stories. The question for writers who also practice Dharma is: having brought awareness to the karma, how do I work with it?

It took me 20 years to realize the project management skills I use at work could help my ADHD. Funny, right? Now I’m seeing real change, even quit smoking after 24 years. Turns out I just needed intentional compassion and a good plan.

First writing session in a month. Thought I’d be rusty.
Turns out I was just holding pressure.
STRIDE didn’t punish the pause. It held the space.
I came back when I was ready.
Still surprised how good it feels.
