Journey

Intimacy. It’s such a sexy word invoking thoughts of romance and sensuality. Yet, the true meaning of intimacy is ‘into me you see’. Intimacy relates directly to the KLT factor.

Life continues even when you’re on the luge of self-discovery. Kids grow, careers change, families come together or fall apart – life goes on. My parents and I have undergone a separation that I would like to say is initiated smoothly by my path of self-discovery.

I’ve been on the healing mission to get to my KWAN and know joy is part of it, so I explore everything about joy I can get my hands on. I delve deeply into the feminine, reach into bliss, find ways to happiness and define joy to figure out the similarities and differences.

It’s one thing to be resolute about changing something as big as the impact of a narcissistic mother and emotionally unavailable father while starting a family of your own and it’s another to actually do it.

“What’s your KWAN?” I’m asked at dinner by Dr. Bill, a friend of the new love of my life, Greg. I answer confidently describing my work, my graduate studies, my travels…he interrupts, “That’s not your KWAN, that’s just stuff you do.”
