Big Enough Now is not a book about becoming more. It’s a book about realizing you already are.
For years, many of us live as if life is a proving ground—waiting to be chosen, approved, healed, forgiven, or finally “ready.” We measure ourselves against timelines that were never ours, carrying old beliefs about who we should have been by now. Read More
This book gently dismantles that illusion.
Through personal reflection, lived experience, and hard-won clarity, Big Enough Now explores what happens when you stop chasing worth and start standing in it. It is about releasing the quiet shame of feeling behind. About recognizing how past wounds, expectations, and comparisons quietly shape our decisions. And about discovering that growth doesn’t come from becoming someone else—but from removing what no longer belongs.
With honesty and calm wisdom, Keith Thorn invites the reader to examine the stories they’ve carried, the standards they’ve absorbed, and the permission they’ve been waiting for. Each chapter offers insight into identity, capacity, regret, resilience, and the freedom that comes when you stop asking whether you’re enough.
This is a book for those in the second half of life—or anyone who has ever wondered if they missed their moment.
You didn’t.
You were never late.
You were becoming.
And now, you are big enough to live from who you are—not who you were told to be.
Sigrid Nunez –
I recently read BIG ENOUGH NOW and was profoundly moved by the compassion and clarity you bring to understanding past trauma. Your approach blending personal narrative, reflection, and Ki-Aikido principles offers not just insight but a way to inhabit memory differently, to reclaim the present from the weight of what once overwhelmed us. The writing feels alive with empathy and personal authority, neither clinical nor distant.
What I found especially compelling was how you articulate the persistence of past pain in the present while simultaneously providing a path toward release. The framing of memory as something the mind stores but need not relive is both poetic and practical, and your work models resilience with humility and grace.
