Authentic Touch Points
Arnie’s Journey. 2:00 Changing my course of treatment. 8:15 Reconnecting with joy. 13:30 My 3:00 am wake-up call. 15:30 The intersection of love and violence. 18:50 Looking into the portal. 21:40 Put your hands on your heart. 28:00 Shifting the energy. 30:20 It’s all about connection. 34:30
Arnie is a feeler. He feels life—his and yours—deeply and uses love, wisdom, spirituality, humor, fresh air, and food to lead people home.
Most beautifully, though, Arnie is a friend in the truest sense of the word. He’s also a father, an ex-husband, and a cancer survivor. A man who’s walked an impossibly bumpy road. He is all the layers of a human being with a lived life. Buy him a glass of wine—heck, a bottle—and he’ll tell you all about it.
I encourage you to reach out at any time with thoughts or questions.
Thanks! Roxanne
