Asking for help has never come easy to me. It's a trait, unfortunately, that I seem to have passed on to my son, Andrew. Like me, he struggles to reach out when he could use an extra hand.

Reinvention is about courage, the courage to question, to change, and to step into new territories without the fear of age holding you back.

If we are made of the same stuff as stars, how can we be anything but extraordinary?

In a world that often demands we hustle through our days, finding moments of pure joy can seem like a quest for a hidden treasure.
