I’m Back in Action, with a Purpose
I haven't written a newsletter since May 2026.
I wrote a lot about personal awakening back then. What I was looking for next was how to awaken a community at scale, not just one person at a time. I felt an urgency, but I didn't have many ideas. So I stopped writing.
One thought did stay with me. If I wanted to help things actually change, I should reach the next generation in family businesses. They have the resources. They have the freedom to decide. They can make things happen. So I built a program for them and called it I AM. I shared it with a few friends to get their feedback. One of them introduced me to someone who might be a good fit as a mentee. That led to another next-gen leader, then another. And the writing I'd been doing for two years, about awakening, about love, about oneness, started showing up in real life.
One day…
I was introduced to a developer CEO who builds condos. Her family also runs a sustainable plywood mill. She told me her company takes meditation seriously, because that's how they create projects with love and harmony. When it's balanced with discipline, skill, and ability, a company can be driven by love and still make great profits, because those profits aren't meant for personal accumulation but for creating more projects that uplift humanity and the earth. I was impressed.
Then, in the next meeting, I was going to interview her as part of my research for the second book. She said she'd bring a friend, because the friend was looking for someone to write a book and thought I might be right for it.
Turned out the thing they were building and the idea I'd been carrying about awakening communities were basically the same thing. It was just mind-blowing: two people, one needing a writer, one needing the content, and the universe arranged for us to meet.
The catch: we met at the end of July, and she wanted the book out by mid-October. 2.5 months. My first thought was, no way. Two months in, I don't think that anymore. It's doable when things line up.
Looking back at my life for the past few months or so…
It started with awareness. For most of my life I ran on things I never chose. Every "I am" I said without thinking. I am struggling. I am not ready. I'm trying to build something and it's not working. I treated all of that as fact, but It wasn't. It was just old programming making my decisions for me. So I started catching it. "I am struggling with income" became "I'm noticing thoughts about income." Small change. But it put me back in the driver's seat, and how I moved through the day started to shift.
Then came the people. It is fate. Nothing shows up by accident. Every meeting is the result of the micro actions that came before it, a thought, a newsletter. I used to not be aware that my actions were building my future, but this experience showed me the cause and effect unfolding in front of my eyes. I could trace back how my thoughts and actions led to this so-called fate. Maybe it isn't as random as we think. The mentee showed up, and more leaders after that, and then a stranger who happened to need exactly the book I could write.
As I followed the flow and acted, step by step, on what was next, I was creating instead of just watching, or observing. The difference is simple but fundamental. When I observed without creating, I watched the clouds move endlessly, but nothing moved in my life. I still felt anxious, and I observed my anxiety, and then what? The "what" is to create. Once I settle the emotion, I take an action that tells the universe I'm ready. I stopped watching my life and started building it.
Then I suddenly realized what people meant by "time is not linear but a loop" because I've experienced it. To create a new world based on love, seems impossible if you look at what's in the news every day. But when I tune into the frequency I prefer, I find this group of awakened leaders who are willing to build with love. As if I jumped from one spot to another without traveling the timeline in between. These last two months, a lot of what I put out came back at once.
That's the shift I went through in the past few months. From asleep, to observing, to noticing I was observing, to actually creating. My first book didn't replace my income. Nothing out there told me I was on the right track. I kept going anyway. Turns out that stretch was the setup for everything that's happening now.
So here's the new book I'm working on.
It's called Tian Ming Ren (working title). It means people born with a life mission.
If that's you, you've probably asked one of these questions.
Why am I here?
What's the purpose of life?
Why did I come to earth at all?
We're all here for different reasons. Some are here just to visit, to travel, to experience being human. Some are here to repay karmic debts. And some are here for a specific mission, one your soul agreed to before coming to earth. Those are the Tian Ming Ren.
The new earth, 5D, whatever you want to call it. It doesn't exist until we build it. Many of us were born to be part of the transition. We're here to raise our own consciousness, to remember our tian ming (life purpose), and to create new ways of doing things that match the frequency of the new world, the frequency of love.
And for me, my tian ming is to document 'how to build this new world' with precision, and to share the people behind these inspiring creations. Like a scribe, I'm not writing literature or an art piece. I'm publishing stories that inspire, and manuals that can be used as SOPs and blueprints, so other communities and civilizations can follow.
This next book isn't another awakening book. It's the documentary of how one ordinary person, with no ambition to become a Tian Ming Ren, changed, and how that change got a whole family, and then a whole community, moving on building an ecological civilization. Regenerative farms. Communities built to hold up through disasters. Schools that make room for all living things, plants and animals and spirits. Centers that train more people to do this work.
The vision is big. But there are people all over the world already doing this with the same intention. We're starting to find each other. And once enough of these small communities connect, it stops being a dream and starts being real at scale.
It's not far-fetched. It's just what happens when ordinary people decide to lead with love.
I'm looking forward to sharing the book with you soon.
Until then, here are five signs you might be a Tian Ming Ren:
1. Your life looks successful from the outside, but something feels missing, and the feeling is growing.
2. You keep looping through the same patterns, like living out the same scenes on repeat.
3. Things that used to excite you now feel flat.
4. You're highly intuitive. You know things without knowing how you know them.
5. You feel a pull toward something bigger, even if you don’t know what it is yet.
If any of these land, reply "I AM," and let's find out together.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for remembering.
I'm back, and I'm writing again.
Love you all!
