Life-Changing Event

I was very passionate about licensing patents, trademarks, and designers. I really loved it because I was learning new businesses all the time. I was traveling 200,000 miles a year. It was a wonderful distraction from feeling anything. It was the perfect passion. I was developing lots of new products and lots of new brands and I felt very successful. Then at one point I just felt empty. I was burned out when I was in my late 40s and I started having shoulder problems. I had a frozen shoulder. What did that mean? Who knows? I tried Celra. I tried all the drugs possible and nothing would unfreeze my shoulder. I was in Paris, it was like 20 degrees out, I couldn't put my coat on because I couldn't put my arm through the arm of the coat, and I was walking. I went out and learned something else. So it sounds a little crazy, but that's what drove me to be of service. I was so lucky to be able to do that because it really filled my heart and I stopped being numb. Passion and purpose led to feeling, to getting into my heart, into staying very present and grounded in my life 30 years ago.
