    Our Body Barometer

    The Stories We Tell Ourselves

    November 14, 2017

    Waiting to be Born 

    October 31, 2017

    As the days get shorter and we find ourselves wrapped in more darkness than light, now is a natural time to learn from our shadow.

    From Pain, Creation

    September 12, 2017

    When we focus on transforming pain into something of beauty or impact, and use it to come together in ways that heal and bond, we create something that wasn't possible before.

    Shazam!

    August 15, 2017

    Whenever I feel stuck or have an idea that's bigger than I think I can handle, I send out my "Shazam!" call to my Elders. After talking with two or three, I'm super-powered.

    Up Until Now...

    August 7, 2017

    Self-limiting beliefs are just that: things that we believe about ourselves based on past experience or conditioning. These beliefs are so "true" to us that we never even think to examine their truthiness.

    This Tricky Thing Called Abundance 

    August 1, 2017

    Summoning Your Inner Child 

    July 24, 2017

    For a long time, I've wanted to write a "children's" book. I just love those books that call upon us to step into the wonder and awe of our childhood to explore ideas that can serve us at any age.

    The Magic Moment

    June 5, 2017

    As I felt my face kissed by the sun and my hair lifted by the breeze, my thoughts wandered to my entry on the Courage Wall: I wish I had the courage to believe I am enough.

    The System of Letting Go 

    May 31, 2017

    How to Build Desire

    March 28, 2017
