Meeting the awareness that possessions, accomplishments, and locations could never define, limit, or contain all that you are and dream of.

Listen to the Reckoning Audio Journal here: Apple | Spotify

I have created five playlists, Audio Journals, that correspond to each of the phases of internal discovery I’ve lived and intend to share in my posts and other media (as stated in Preparing for the Journey).

Consider these Audio Journals to be a representation of the soul of the journey.

Here, and in the following posts of this same kind, I plan to share a bit about what each song means for me, the lyrics that hit me hardest, and why I included the song in the journal entry. It’s my hope that you can hear these songs how I hear them and you glean something inspiring or humanizing that you enjoy or relate to.

The first Audio Journal I keynoted was i. Prologue to Destruction. In Prologue to Destruction, I describe my journey of triumph and loss and how it’s resulted in my ability to “love a little bit deeper.”

In Reckoning, after my old life and perspective have been shattered, I find myself in a space where what begins to appear is a subtle sense of hope. In this stretch of my life, I found myself tapping into a personal power tied solely to who I am, not anything I had accomplished or possessed.

Hit play and let’s go on another journey.
