These are pretty innocuous examples, but they surface some interesting questions you can take as lightly or as deeply as you’d like: What are you telling yourself, about yourself, that’s just not true? What aren’t you giving yourself credit for? What do you think you want to be or do or have—physically, spiritually or even... Continue Reading →
POD #2: Your Positive Essential Quality
At this point of my life, my most Positive Essential Quality is energy: a soul-deep, love-driven, overflowing energy to care for the people and create the projects that matter to me—the projects I know I’m here to do.

I’ve got it all together … (NOT)
I suppose it has been said to me before, but today I heard it. Possibly because for the past few months I have been doing my own soul searching, trying to get in touch with deeper things in my life. My search has opened me up to be a little more honest about my weaknesses... Continue Reading →
