“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.” ~ Seneca
Today marks the beginning of new directions at the Jungle of Life. After much reflection, I have come to the decision (a heart-based decision) to make some changes on content and delivery that happens here.
a journey toward your true peak
The meaning and purpose of this site remains the same – to be a guide for you, as you journey toward your own true life peak. The thing is, I am only one voice, with one set of life experiences. Beginning today, that changes. The Jungle of Life is now a multi-author source of inspiration, guidance, and life strategies.
The focus will be around eight broad areas that make up this life we are living (sometimes referred to as the "wheel of life").
Each month at the Jungle of Life will be theme-based (note the monthly theme displayed in the upper right of the sidebar). I'll start each month off, introducing the theme and writing my own thoughts on what that means to me. The remainder of the month will feature our eight authors, who will share something along their area of expertise. A new article will be available every 3-4 days.
The Thoughts from the Treehouse newsletter will also follow the same theme each month. Sign up here, and get the twice-monthly newsletter in your email inbox!
