I am a Change and Transition Specialist, and I am passionate about the work of assisting my clients in achieving their highest potential and fulfilling their definite purpose in life. KLH Associates was established in Minnesota in 2020 as my third business venture. At the time it was my retirement plan and remained idle, until I had a revelation in December of 2024. I reactivated the company in January of 2025 as part of my journey living a more intentional life to help others achieve greatness. I am writing a book about transitions using my personal transitions with the many informal coaches I encountered along my journey through this life. This month I am sharing an excerpt from my upcoming book. Episodes of A Life In Transition.

Excerpt from Episodes of A Life In Transition.

“The idea for my first work as a writer started with a thought in my kitchen at age 67 during the December 2024 holiday season. I decided to live my life with more intention from that point on. I spent a significant part of my working life in the human services fields. Much of the work as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker was aiding individuals and families through a variety of lifetime transitions. So naturally this book is about the transition of living and aging. The story you are reading today has been through a series of transitions of that process. The original thought was to document my journey from that December morning on. The original thought evolved into documenting the story of my life told in episodes from my earliest memories.

As you will see the story begins with a young Black island boy from Nassau in the Bahamas who was sent to a boarding school in the United Kingdom. Four years later a-head spinning transition to Morehouse College, a prominent HBCU. The contrast could not have been more extreme, a Black boy in majority White school to the all-Black culture-rich of Morehouse. Being from a colonized country, I did not have an awareness of the significance of the transition at the time. I did not have thoughts of color differences I simply fit in as a human. A Naive view but the island I was raised on was segregated for the most part and most people I interacted with were Black. Morehouse was my introduction to Blackness in America.”

This excerpt is the beginning of my transition from then to now and my life is contingent on the individuals I encountered and the choices I made along the way. There are other ways to experience life; this was mine, with no regrets. I am now at that stage of development, Generativity vs Stagnation, I am choosing to help others make sense of their personal journeys, to move with inner harmony resonating with the external world.
