There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains,, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter.
We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.
For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves.

that is such a good question.. for it seemingly varies from day to day, month to month, year to year... but, when I think about it.. there is a foundation.. a kerilyn mold. So that’s who I’ll tell you I am.
Here is a video that shows you a little about me,
circa 2016, and how I got my start.
I am shifting away from Ancora Imparo as my brand and instead,
giving myself a full umbrella of ways for me to express myself.
*voila, here we go!
My son Leonardo (who is 7!) is literally the best thing that's ever happened to me. He has taught me more about myself, who I want to be and how far I'm willing to go to get there.
I have been studying A Course in Miracles (ACIM) since 2011. Honestly, making ACIM my north star has sincerely answered most of my questions about life.
and life in general.
THE WHY.
As a certified life coach (been certified almost 10 years now) I have helped SO MANY who come to me, learn to TRUST themselves, to do what they need to do to get to where they want to go.
I treasure when other people partner with me on their journey.
I have had my ETSY shop since 2006. Benchmark Greeting Cards are a passion project of mine. They have been there, like a good friend I haven't seen in a while. They say the things I wish I could say to the people in my life and perhaps, if you read them, you will find the same things.
Never in a million years, if you would've asked my high school self if I would love writing as part of my purpose, I would've said no way. Since 2001, I started my writing journey with my college roommate, writing emails called "My High/Low" every day to which turned into a blog and then a website and now, regular stream of consciousness downloads that I am STILL so amazed, come out so fluently. Surprisingly, I absolutely LOVE expressing myself in words.
Here are some examples of my published writing:
Since discovering in 2016 that I am codependent, I have worked really hard to learn what it is, who I attract and to look at and heal from my own codependent grooming; being the first one in my family to end the lineage of generational trauma and shame, so much so that others regularly come to me to hold their hand through their journey to healing too.
And I am still blown away, and honored that they do.
Whether you see me in person over coffee, on a livestream, giving a talk or during a Daydreaming Session, you'll see I have a snarky and sarcastic sense of humor.
