"Without reflection, we go blindly on our way."​
—Margaret J. Wheatley

I’ve just wrapped up the final episode of Kevin Leaves, closing out three years of conversations with a man who walked away from his marriage and family for another relationship.
​
Going back through those recordings this past month brought up more than old audio files. It stirred up memories—some tender, some sharp—and reminded me how closely Kevin’s journey parallels chapters of my own life. Looking back isn’t always comfortable, but it’s necessary.
​
We all have our blind spots, every last one of us. We get used to our flaws, polish them like an old pair of shoes, sometimes even defend them. We are quick to blame, slow to reflect. But without reflection, there’s no change; without change, no growth.
​
So I’ve been taking stock again. What I found was a familiar mix of gratitude and regret—two companions who've traveling with me for a long time. But there’s good news: every day, including this one, offers another chance to live a little wiser and love a little better.
