Dandelions and Dreams

Dandelions and Dreams

Dreams are meant to be like holding onto a dandelion. To loosely hold on to the stem while you gently blow on the seed head, allowing the seeds to float through the air and land where they may, and then you let go of the stem. We’re not meant to hold on for dear life,...

What Dying Teaches Us About Living

What Dying Teaches Us About Living

  Few of us want to talk about death. Few experience it more than once, and in the end, it happens to us all. It can’t be avoided. Death is the ultimate journey of surrender. Yet just like life, many of us fight it. One of the things I’ve seen in caring for my...

How Bubbles Reflect Our Energy

How Bubbles Reflect Our Energy

  Blowing bubbles as a kid was always a favorite thing to do. No matter how small the soap holder, it was always a challenge to see how big a bubble you could create. The competition with my brothers was endless, and fun. Your breath blows into the soap and a...

The Rules of Silence

The Rules of Silence

You will never be able to win your game as long as you’re playing by someone else’s rules. Why boundaries are vital to your being. I’m not typically interested in royal shenanigans. They’re human just like us, but with a lot more money and level of prestige greater...

You Are A Divine Being

You Are A Divine Being

You are a divine being. If you’d said this to me even six months ago, I would have said no, turned around and walked away. Even through all of the “work” I’d done to clear my past, I didn’t believe I was worthy of this. Yet it’s our birthright. We are all born of...
