Lee Weinstein is a former Nike public relations leader and co-founder of Intentional Life Planning, LLC, which he runs with his wife, Melinda. Together, they developed the Intentional Life Planning process in 2000 and have been leading workshops ever since.

He is the author of Write, Open, Act: An Intentional Life Planning Workbook, available at intentionallifeplan.com. Lee is also a seasoned facilitator and frequent public speaker on personal growth and intentional living.

His New York Times essay, “The Restless Soul in the Bathroom Mirror,” chronicles how this life-planning method helped him relaunch his career. In July 2018, The Times also featured his workbook in the article “Forget a Fast Car. Creativity Is the New Midlife Crisis Cure.”

A survey fielded on our behalf found that two-thirds of Americans don't have a written plan for their life. Imagine how much better the world would be if everyone had a plan for their life here on Earth?

I also like writing for the pure joy and creativity involved! Now on to writing a screenplay about another topic! Thanks again, Lee(less)

Sipsworth by Simon Van Booy
"On the surface this is a sweet, engaging, and heartwarming story about an 83-year old woman who befriends a mouse - Sipsworth, but there’s so much more. The story is about who Helen Cartwright is today and who she was in years past, it’s about her me" Read more of this review »

Bruce Springsteen
“I suppose I took comfort in the illusion that I could go back. But I'd been around long enough to know history is sealed and unchangeable. You can move on, with a heart stronger in the places it's been broken, create new love. You can hammer pain and trauma into a righteous sword and use it in defense of life, love, human grace and God's blessings. But nobody gets a do-over. Nobody gets to go back and there's only one road out. Ahead, into the dark.”
Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run

“Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.”
