Bring me the question you keep walking around.
You write to me about the place where you feel stuck. I read it slowly, the way I would listen to you across a kitchen table. Within five days, a letter comes back to your inbox.
From $35. More if your heart and means allow.
What comes back to you.
A letter written to you, and no one else.
01 - A Mirror
What I hear in your words, including what you said without meaning to. Few of us have ever seen our own question written back to us by someone paying close attention.
02 - The question underneath
The question you send is rarely the one holding you in place. I will name the one I think is, and leave it with you to turn over.
03 - What you may not be seeing
Said plainly, with care. Sometimes it's fear wearing sensible clothes. Sometimes it's permission you have been waiting for someone else to give.
04 - Something to carry
A short writing invitation or a small practice, so the letter leaves the page and walks with you into the next few days.
Before You Write
Bring the question that keeps you up at night.
A decision you have been postponing. A role you are outgrowing. A loss that rearranged everything. A move, or the wish to make one. The quiet sense that the life you built no longer fits. The feeling that you’re standing at the threshold of something, but you’re not sure what or how to be with it.
Write the way you would in a journal no one else will read. Your honesty is the ground for something new to emerge.
A paragraph is enough. So are three pages.
A Note from Me
I read every question myself. I write every reply myself, from a small cottage at the end of a dirt road in Carvoeiro, on the Algarve coast. No template or stock answer.
Some questions need more than one letter. If yours does, I will tell you so, and we can talk about what might serve you next.
With care,
For two decades, I sat beside people who were very good at finding answers. What moved them was almost always a better question.
My TEDx talk was called The Radical Question: Stop Looking for Answers. This letter is that idea made small enough to fit in your inbox.
