Do Something So Something Happens
Now available in print and Kindle editions.
Begin Where You Are
Start Anywhere is a book about movement, clarity, and the quiet courage of beginning before you feel fully ready. It’s written for people who are already in the middle of things—and ready to begin again without a perfect plan.
This book is built on a simple idea:
You don’t need the perfect plan. You just need a place to start.
Three Metaphors for Change
ENGAGE — The Gates We Walk Through
Beginnings. Thresholds. Curiosity.
This section explores the moments when we step across into something new—those wide or narrow gates that ask for our attention, humility, and willingness to move.
REDUCE — Living Small in the Wide Desert
Simplicity. Space. Enoughness.
These reflections grow out of the tiny house and the desert—places where living small opens unexpected room for clarity, and where the wide quiet teaches what we can let go.
The book unfolds in three overlapping movements.
PERSIST — What the Miles Teach
Rhythm. Endurance. Long obedience.
This part of the book draws on the lessons of running and marathons—what it means to return to the path again and again, and how the miles shape us toward patience, strength, and slow, steady becoming.
Each section ends with micro-prompts—small reflective invitations to pause, re-center, and re-engage the work of your life.
What You’ll Find Inside
- 24 reflections you can read in any order
- Micro-prompts at the end of each reflection
- Three companion tools designed to put the ideas into practice
- A final invitation to write your own metaphor for growth
This is a book you return to—one circle at a time.
