We can spend a lifetime gathering and getting lost in our thoughts. This predominantly automated process begins in childhood where knowledge has value and begins to factor into the equation of Self Worth. We are taught by default to believe our perceptions of other people’s perceptions and in doing so, we form opinions that become… Continue reading Scattered by Default

Catch and Release
“My mother, who welcomed strangers into our family, and [sic] taught me to be generous with my love, and that we do not find safety by guarding ourselves against the world, but by opening our doors and sharing what we have.”
Beyond the Box
Spiritual awakening is a process of developing new eyes and a new way of being in relationship with this world. It calls you to question all that you believe and all that you once held as truth.

Happy New Year!
I don’t know about you, but 2017 is a year that I am pleased to see the back side of. Whatever alignment the planets were in, felt like a cosmological conspiracy to lay me down.
