I was recently invited to be part of a small group of women who have embarked on a 10-day Whispers from Within writing process on the topic of 'shame'. I am always willing to say 'yes' to such an exploration as I hold shame as the most destructive force for shaping culture that underpins the parenting process. The destroyer of souls! That which causes ... Continue Reading >>
What’s important to you about being alive?
As far back as I can recall, my curiosities have often proven to be deeply annoying to many of those around me. Over time, if that changed at all, it was with an increasing perturbation of the murky waters of the status quo. I wanted to see what was under the surface… to see what littered the bottom that might trip us up should we choose to attempt to stand ... Continue Reading >>
Perspective of Self
Recently, I had an email exchange with a wonderful woman who is both courageous and curious about her own potential, knowing only too well that she will be the model for her children to discover their own. Over the past few weeks, she has been listening to the 'Decloaking and Living Authentically' audio materials and likely heard my comments re my own long ... Continue Reading >>
2020: Random Thoughts into the Doomosphere
January 1, 2020: the start of yet another year. I woke up this morning to my first thought of: 7 Layer Dip. (That in itself is highly unusual since my first thought is pretty much always about coffee….). You may know the dip I’m referring to: designed to grace a nacho chip after you’ve selected it and before it arrives at your mouth. The metaphor of ... Continue Reading >>
Evolution unending: unmarked territory beckons
As always, my time spent with the amazing and precious LesDebs (Deb Ozarko and Deb Gleason) has left me with more to ponder. During a very recent conversation, we found ourselves travelling along a familiar path of exploring what evolution - for its own sake rather than for the need to solve a problem - requires and demands of us. At one point, we came ... Continue Reading >>
Deb Gleason: A Journey of Self-Reclamation
"I’ve come to discover that when it came to reclaiming my life, there was something much more powerful than willpower available to me. What I’ve discovered is the power of willingness. The willingness to find instead of eternally seek. The willingness to speak my truth, at the moment that it presents. The willingness to stand alone, and to sit in my ... Continue Reading >>
Tenets of a Life Well Lived
I believe we live in a Sea of Intelligence; that wholeness is our essential Nature; that reality unfolds as required to lead us back to ourSelves. I believe that the greater the upheaval, the greater our need to pause... and consider: who have we been that brought us to this place? And who else must we become to create anew? ... Continue Reading >>
Challenges
Our greatest challenge is never the one we think we’re facing – it’s always in the way we’re facing it. ... Continue Reading >>
No Filters
I like being at this place in my life. I no longer seek permission, full in the realization that I already am that permission, for myself. Finally, on the cusp of the curve of final release, I am without filters. Although often highly selective about doing so, I find myself very fortunate to continue to be invited into the lives of the amazing (and ... Continue Reading >>
Naomi Irons: Birthright
"The letting go that preceded it all felt like I imagine death would feel like. I was freeing what once was contained deep within my human body AND all the ways I sought to hold that in check. My birthright. The right we each carry to simply BE and live from here." Sometimes, it has to look like an ending for us to be able to let go and claim the new ... Continue Reading >>
How will I know?
I am surrounded by these courageous and highly intentional women who are deeply committed to their own evolution... for its own sake. I am in regular contact with a few of them and take great delight in the honour of bearing witness as they reclaim more and more of the territory of the authentic Self. Every day, they gain both strength and ease in being ... Continue Reading >>
My conversation with Anne Berubé
I find that with the passage of time, I become more discerning about my time. After all, my time IS my life and I am committed to living my life in a meaningful, joyous and life-enhancing way. Enter Anne Berubé. Anne and I go back many, many years. Today, she is a best-selling Hay House author and a remarkable young woman who has touched the lives of ... Continue Reading >>
The Beating Heart of Climate Change
As is likely for many of you, I am mindful of a ‘quickening’…. not just a bringing-on of more of the status quo, faster and more intensely…. but the arrival of a new heartbeat. Like the moment in the pregnancy when you first hear the baby’s heartbeat and you know - in every cell of your body - that this New Life is coming your way. The heartbeat that I ... Continue Reading >>
Naomi Irons: A Mom Facing into the Chaos
Naomi Irons was invited to be in conversation with Dean Walker on the Poetry of Predicament podcast: Conscious living and parenting in the face of global collapse and predicament. I just finished listening to their potent and authentic exchange. Deeply moved… awash in the Sacred that is our birthright… knowing that I now know my hope lives rooted in ... Continue Reading >>
The Single Snowflake
What we already know is like a single snowflake in the great blizzard of our existence. Too often, we remain profoundly ignorant of a life that could be lived from the much greater potential of what we really are. ... Continue Reading >>
Update: Women Awakening – Part 6 – Audio fix
For any who've been wondering where the Women Awakening: Part 6 audio file went.... It's back! It was brought to my attention that it had disappeared. Happy to say it is now available for any who were left hanging without a conclusion. Enjoy! ... Continue Reading >>
Emerging Intelligence: The power of staying in the conversation
Sometimes, at first notice, none of it makes any sense. The intellect's need for logic, reason, evident progression, etc. tends to force a 'practical' conclusion long before a life-altering one would naturally and organically find its way to the surface. Having both the willingness and the ability to simply stay.... fully present, engaged and engaging.... ... Continue Reading >>
Climate Change: What do we tell our children?
Yesterday, another compelling conversation with Deb Ozarko in her Deep Adaptation Forum Q & A with Jem Bendell. In these challenging times, the information shared and perspectives explored will (I believe) make great sense to those who are struggling to come to terms with that which is unfolding before their very eyes. I encourage you to find a ... Continue Reading >>
Women and the Future of the World
Potential Lives in the Pause….
My life has been keeping me busy with attending to the day-to-day necessities that come with a physical reality. Some are moments of pure delight (like the amazing transformation of my precious little Grandson, now almost a year old!). Others, moments of recall and recognition on behalf of one lost to themselves (like my Mom's continuing journey into the ... Continue Reading >>
Collusion: the path to isolation
As change continues to press itself upon us, many find themselves falling away from the core of their Being... seeking some way of reclaiming a sense of internal safety and stability. As we lose our way, the pull to embrace collusion with others replaces the alignment we once had with ourselves. In a world steeped in apparent expanding collusion, we ... Continue Reading >>
The Power of the Process: BSI
Another meaningful discovery from Stela Shakti on her journey of accelerated personal evolution! In her most recent post Quantum Healing: an experience of Body-Spirit Integration, we are given the opportunity to bear witness to her discoveries as she ventures into that dance with Sheila Winter Wallace in her BSI experience. As always, Stela beautifully ... Continue Reading >>
Poetry of Predicament: with Deb Ozarko and Dean Walker
Now retired, I rarely engage in much beyond the joys of simply living my truly blessed life! However, every now and then, I am invited to be part of something that is so compelling to me I feel The Call to simply engage and see where it goes. Recently, I was invited to be in conversation with Dean Walker on the Poetry of Predicament podcast. In the ... Continue Reading >>
Climate Change: A Deeply Intimate and Personal Affair
Every time I spend a dollar, I remind myself that doing so is a 'yes' vote to the manufacturers of whatever it is that I'm paying for. By buying it... by bringing it into my life... I'm saying that whatever they're doing to make this available to me: I'm ok with that. Waiting for politicians and governments to make a difference in these increasingly ... Continue Reading >>
Hawaii: Theft of a Kingdom
Climate Change – the facts
“…the magic of maybe… “
Observations
Have you noticed how time is moving more quickly? Are you noticing that more things seem easily forgotten… quickly becoming irrelevant when in times past, they would have seemed essential to retain? Can you feel the degree to which what once mattered, no longer does? As a species, we’re changing. Our planet is changing. Our future is changing. And through ... Continue Reading >>
Stress
Another powerful (and very practical) post from Stela Shakti - this one connecting stress, the body and the potential of transformation. Some practical advice at the end re moving through your day more mindfully. Enjoy the read! ... Continue Reading >>
Simple Choices – Complex Results
In my retirement, my attention has turned to recognizing, acknowledging and deeply appreciating how immensely fortunate I am to have family and friends that I cherish. For decades, I was drawn to engage in what was, for me, the only way I knew how: caring about and focused on how we, as human beings, were expressing so far below what was possible for us; and ... Continue Reading >>
Voice in the Wilderness of Bio Collapse
Another powerful, thought-provoking and compelling post by Deb Ozarko! I've been following the 'climate change' conversation for a very long time. From the early days with James Lovelock (Gaia Hypothesis) and Ervin Laszlo (co-founder of the Club of Budapest - new paradigms in science and consciousness) to the current growing roster of deeply committed and ... Continue Reading >>
Synchronicity….
Don't you just love how it all works?!?!?!?! First, the TedTalk on women and anger; and then, this powerful, unique and individual expression from one woman and her deeply committed personal journey. Check out Stela Shakti blog post for today: Breath: The Vehicle to Personal Evolution Can it be that simple? Yes. Can it be that powerful? ... Continue Reading >>
Line in the sand…..
I've been working with women for close to 30 years. Two things that have always stood out in my ever-deepening conversations with them: they are often shocked and terrified by the depth of their own rage; and they are pissed to discover that their well-honed and practised 'appropriate-ness' will not take them where they want to go. They are ... Continue Reading >>
Creeping Reality
“Reality!” We say that like it is an absolute and we all share it. Yet, I know ‘reality’ to be fluid…. fickle… at times even, whimsical… and unwilling to be boxed. There is the one that is visible to me through my personal sensing of it - the one for which I calibrate as I look out my window and notice the hills in the distance, the rising sun and the ... Continue Reading >>
Vegan Awareness Moment : Cultural Coma of Food
Wow... two posts in one day. That's got to be some kind of record for me.... in my retirement! I came across this short video clip (3:18) that addresses plant protein sources vs meat. Take a moment to ponder how deep the protein myth permeates our cultural conditioning. Coincidentally, Deb Ozarko's new blog post included a number of references to ... Continue Reading >>
Mind Share: Possibilities
Another insight into the joys of my retirement: I have an abundance of ‘empty space’ into which I can flow my interests. For those of you who have come to know me over time, you already know my interests encompass things like abrupt climate change, biocentrism (Robert Lanza), transhumanism (from Joseph Farrell to Ray Kurzweil), GMO’s, vaccinations, the ... Continue Reading >>
Climate Inaction: Denial or Design?
To others, I leave the task of the clarion call. The task of identifying all that is not right in the world. The task of naming the forces that will move us closer and closer to the edge. The task of tracking the inventory of the seemingly insurmountable. I recognize the need for it and I also recognize that none of these are representative of why I exist at ... Continue Reading >>
Voices Rising
I'm really getting the twists and turns of this 'retirement' thing! Have to admit: I am settling in nicely. Now a first-time Gramma (with the most adorable Little Human in the world within easy smooching distance!), I greatly appreciate the pace of my life as well as the proximity to all that is meaningful for me, within it. And right at the top of that ... Continue Reading >>
A Storied Existence
We are a species enamoured with and mesmerized by our own stories. Our myths and unwinding recollections permeate not only all that we do but all that we seem to become. And yet, ’story’ can only live in the past or the future while our body can only live in the moment of the current breath. We live in the ’now’ where there is no story - there is only the ... Continue Reading >>
Leadership
Nature’s Final Lesson: The House Always Wins
Until now, we have always recovered. We have embraced the folly of our choices and trusted that when we were done, the nurturing world would still be there; that we would find new footing in a familiar, reliable place and move on. We trusted that when we had wreaked our violence against each other and other living forms, all would return to normal as the ... Continue Reading >>
Shortcut to Waking Up
Want to know the truth of who you are? Want to know how you’re experienced by others? Here’s a shortcut to finding out. Listen to yourself when you speak - either to yourself or others. Pay attention to what comes out of your mouth. Notice the language you use privately… inside yourself… when you’re talking to yourself. Then, notice the language ... Continue Reading >>
Taking Ownership of a New Year
Growth in consciousness doesn’t depend on the will of the intellect or its possibilities but on the intensity of the inner urge. (Egyptian proverb) ======================== January 1, 2019. Today is likely a more meaningful day than most to declare: "Today, is the first day of the rest of my life!" I could give you the long version of the long story ... Continue Reading >>
Discovery: Free Access to CD 1
“True teaching is not an accumulation of knowledge; it is an awakening of consciousness which goes through successive stages.“ (Egyptian Proverbs - Luxor Temple) =================================== Soon, I will be launching a new website for the WEL-Systems Institute that will reflect what I have long known to be true: No one can want something for you ...

Incomplete (yet meaningful) thoughts!
Sometimes, it just lands a bullseye. It. The proverbial point of no return. The moment of acquisition of clarity. The great and memorable flash of insight that - in a breath! - changes a world… and a life. The more untethered I become to matter, the less matter holds together as a ‘fact’ or ‘truth’. As I gain distance and it fades into the background, ... Continue Reading >>
Death: Vibration of the Unspeakable
This exploration is a fuzzy one. It is disjointed, lurching from one thought to the next. As I begin, I have no idea where it will end. I only know that now that is not the time to distrust a process of Life that has been there for me for the last 40 years. As I begin, I know it will take me where I need to go. For many, many years, I have focused my ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 10 – The Next Inhalation
Here’s what I have discovered about myself in this 10-day writing process. It is clear to me that I am here: To agitate. I have no memory of ever being other than that as an expression of Being. Even in the innocence of no intention, simply being my Self was agitating to those around me. So be it. To leave no conversation unengaged. Whether it is ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 9 – Living with Amnesia
Today is Day 9 of 10. A sense of relief. Like the horse heading back to the barn at the end of a long day. A sense of peace, as this leg of the journey comes to an end; and a sense of the unearthed provocation that I know awaits. In my experience, it is impossible to ask questions without knowing intuitively that in doing so, new (and often, bigger) ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 8 – Conscious Consumption
Inside myself, the ’tone’ of my own enquiry has shifted. As I move from what I know or have known, to what I know I don’t know, there is a sense of being set adrift in a weightless environment. Perhaps this is what a walk in space might feel like. I am more present to the moment; more in the ’now’ as I release myself from searching and just wait…. for the ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 7 – The Danger of Conversation
When this 10-day ‘Whispers from Within’ process first emerged, oh-so-long-ago, it did so not in pieces but as one, congruent whole. It only followed that once the 7 layers of discovery piece was written, there would naturally emerge a process to coax out its expression in a way that could be generalized and shared. From that came this 10-day writing ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 6 – Allowing the Hunger to Feed
As one who trusts deeply in the intuitive… that inner truth often devoid of outer evidence…. I am naturally drawn to what is called prophecy or the pre-cognitive. How could it be otherwise? Perhaps the difference lies, for me, in the source of the precognition: my own or that of another. When that of another, the same principles apply as they do for any ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 5 – Fluidity of Truth
I woke up with a start at 3:30 am. And now, as I approach 5:00 am and am still awake, the message is clear to me: get up! Stop thinking about engaging and just engage. And so, here I am. I’ve read and re-read your responses many, many times. With each pass, I am attuned to my own experience of myself through the read. I recognize certain things about ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 4 – Follow the Agitation
It seems like I’ve been in this exploration forever…… Each of you, as an expression of some aspect of my own consciousness, is calling up within me a different facet of this prism of exploration. I read and re-read your thoughts many times, allowing what moves to stabilize before I move on. I am choosing to be in this process with a relaxed rigour: ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 3 – Provocation
There are no accidents in the intelligent Universe that is my reality. I started my day by listening to Yuval Noah Harari in conversation about the two most important skills for the rest of your life. As I listened, two significant distinctions emerged for me: the boundaries between mind (the Signal of the I AM that I am) and body (the exquisite, organic ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 2 – Perception, Judgement, Creation
Thank you all, for being here. It is evident to me that the collective mind that we are, knows something. It is evident to me that we are willing to know what we know, in the face of the absence of any evidence for ‘it’ to be known or ‘real’. I am reminded of a summer storm. The sun is still out… but the wind changes. It ‘feels’ different; blows differently; ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 1
I begin with much appreciation for your enthusiastic willingness to be part of this journey with me. Each of you already knows that those who step into our worlds are in some way a living expression of some aspect of our own consciousness. I enter this journey with all of you with the recognition that what calls to me requires… and demands!…. that I engage a ... Continue Reading >>
It’s not always easy… or fun
In my decades of working with others, I have witnessed the many come and go. Arriving enthusiastically, seeking resolution and hoping to find a formula - and departing quickly and in great disappointment at the realization that 'not here' is the outcome of their search; moving on in that search, to the next stop along the path of trusting that what they ... Continue Reading >>
Reality: The Music Behind the Dance
“You can only dance to the music you hear." That thought would not leave me alone! By 3:00 am, I had lost count of nagging reverberations in my mind, ensuring the desire to sleep was surrendered to a greater curiosity about my own internal workings. The relentless pursuit of my attention - like a message seeking some sign of its having been received - was ... Continue Reading >>
Locking Eyes with The Beast
When we separate ourselves from our creation, we lose all capacity to affect its unfolding. We created this - and to pretend otherwise only leaves us at the mercy of this unclaimed/orphaned manifestation. In that, we lose ourselves into the victims we believe ourselves to be and are swallowed up by our own powerlessness. I offered that thought many years ... Continue Reading >>
Manifesto for Meaningful Moments
When it comes to the more-and-more evident reality of increasingly rapid and devastating climate change, I can’t seem to find the conversation that Im looking for so have decided to have it here. Over my many years in the program room with women, I have often said: If you don’t like the conversation you’re in, change it! Become more adept at hijacking the ... Continue Reading >>
The Chooser Shapes the Choice
It has been said that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience - we are spiritual beings having a human experience. It may well be that the Great Game of our existence is to find our way back and reclaim the very spark of our creation. Perhaps, in this, there is no greater evidence of the power of choice, to determine the context from which ... Continue Reading >>
The Year of Practical Magic… and the 5 Keys to Making it Happen
We live in a time of incredible potential, perched on the precipice of massive transformation...or massive destruction. We get to choose how we design our lives and, in doing so, the world responds. Our choices become our manifested reality that we might see ourselves reflected in our own creations. Dare we see what we see? There are so many in our world ... Continue Reading >>
Women’s Voices – Women’s Choices
Women talk. It’s what we do. It’s also one of the things we dobest. We come together in small clusters and we talk about the things that matter to us. We talk about the people we care about. We talk about our dreams and the things that get in the way. We talk about what we love and what we hate. We talk about our children, and their children, and how ... Continue Reading >>
Who Says it has to be Hard!
Every time I find myself writing about, speaking about or facilitating a conversation on 'ways to improve your life', I am reminded that this has been my life for more than 25 years. What an honor it is to be invited into the lives of so many who are seeking to find or to redefine themselves. In what becomes the Sacred Space of a shared enquiry, and as we ... Continue Reading >>
Women, Breast Cancer, Food and Men
The entangled threads of my own thoughts tug at notions of women and leadership; women and breast cancer; the need women seem to have to apologize when not agreeing or when finding something lacking; food and its stranglehold on women and their bodies; and last, but most definitely not least, women and men. Were these neatly laid out in some pattern or ... Continue Reading >>
WEL-Systems: NLP… is it for me?
Around the world, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) continues to be taught the same way it has been for almost four decades. Yet everywhere else around us, change is not only the essence of who we are but the very force required to make way for who we can become. We scramble to keep up with the advances in technology, slowly coming to delight in the ... Continue Reading >>
What does it take for women to lead?
Not that long ago, I was in the middle of a conversation with a trusted friend and colleague, about what was next for me, in the unfolding of my work and my business. On the wall across from where we were sitting, was the Declarationof Evolution by Intention. In a moment of uncertainty and what felt like struggle, I heard this voice saying to me: -If ever ... Continue Reading >>
What is NLP … and Is It for Me?
NLP - or Neuro Linguistic Programming - has been around for about 25years. A body of knowledge that was originally put together by Richard Bandler and JohnGrinder, many have since invested years of experience and training working with people tocreate what has evolved into a science. And as a science, it has been recognized as one ofthe singularly most ... Continue Reading >>
Urgency vs Panic
A few days ago, I had the opportunity to spend time with some women who are new to me, in my life. I have become accustomed to spending time with people who know me well through ample personal contact. I sometimes forget that what I intend to say and what others hear, don't always match. Such was my discovery during this recent conversation. As ... Continue Reading >>
Voices and Choices – Tapestry of Sounds
Peace... tranquility... serenity... those soft, seemingly endless moments when we can hear the unique sound that we are in the Universe. If all that is expresses through rhythm and tone, in those quiet and introspective moments, we can hear the note that we are in the vast harmonies of our existence. Yet, all ... Continue Reading >>

The Therapy Model: Friend or Foe?
The following material is taken from "Phoenix Rising: The Freeing of Human Potential". In a quantum age, it is an invitation to consider our century-old practice of seeking physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing through the science of a fading era. It is less that this approach is incorrect and more that it is incomplete! It is perhaps to our ... Continue Reading >>
Staying the Course
It's been almost 10 years now, since I first started my own small business. All those romantic notions of independence, freedom and great wealth have been overtaken by long hours, hard work and the uncertainties brought by never knowing what tomorrow will bring. Sometimes, I long for the "good ole' days" and the pay cheque, paid holidays and child-care leave ... Continue Reading >>
The Seventh Logical Level of Thinking
NLP, as a body of knowledge like any other body of knowledge, is a river of information in perpetual flow. From time to time, we have attempted to harness this flow and contain it, intending to use its potential force for specific purposes (nominalizing NLP). And yet, we are frequently reminded that perhaps what is most valuable is the essence of the flow ... Continue Reading >>
Sekhmet Rising: The Restlessness of Women’s Genius
Sekhmet Rises - The Goddess Awakens Excerpt from the book "Sekhmet Rising: The Restlessness of Women's Genius" In a quiet moment - nestled somewhere between phone calls, emails, family feuds and general, all'round distractions from my own inner landscape - I found myself wandering through an e-zine website. There I found articles on a variety of topics in ... Continue Reading >>
Sacred Spaces – Inner Places
In a world with a voracious appetite for compliance to external demands, too easily are we seduced into believing that what we need in life - all that gratifies, sustains and nurtures us - will be found outside of us. Without our own awakened exploration, we mindlessly teach our children what we ourselves have been ... Continue Reading >>

Programmed for ‘Predictable’?
It is not by accident that we have become who we are. That's not good orbad, right or wrong ... it's just a fact of life. Great time and effort goes into moldingand shaping who we are ... and who we believe ourselves to be capable of becoming. Withoutthat awareness, we might actually think that what we perceive as our 'limitations' arereal as opposed to the ... Continue Reading >>

Personal Coaching: Going Bigger, Moving Faster and Finding Transformation
Our world is not about to change, it already has changed! We can no longer simply presume that what was, still is; and that what we once held to be true can still be relied on to continue to be true.

Parenting: The Other Gift that Keeps on Giving
Excerpt from: When the Horse Dies, Get Off... and Stop Dragging It Around! ISBN: 0-9688064-1-4 How we define something determines what we do with it. If we define it as 'good', we'll want to draw it to us and push it away if we define it as 'bad'. What allows us to come to these conclusions is an underlying framework, often invisible to us, ...

NLP: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Part 1Introduction:NLP has come a long way.

Losing Faith in Organized Religion
Once again, allegations of institutionalized child abuse perpetrated by the clergy of the Catholic Church filled the news. This time, Europe was awakening to what we for all too long have not wanted to see or hear or know as a truth in our own experiences: we are a species that cannibalizes our young. I’ve written about this in many other times and ... Continue Reading >>
Living Life with an Edge
It is our edges that define us. Without edges, we would not be recognizable as different or distinct from our environments. Without edges, we would blend in to our surroundings ... disappear ... become part of something else and no longer be who we are. It is the edges of things ... a picture, an apple, a car ... that allow things to be separate, ... Continue Reading >>
Letting Go
As I sit in my friend Cathy's amazing, abundant garden, I am unable toescape the power that all living things innately carry to grow and expand. Withoutconstant vigilance, this garden would soon overtake the constraints of its boundaries andcause the stones and the walkways to disappear...swallowed up by the space that lifetakes for itself and the ...

Living Large in an Increasingly Smaller World
You likely have already noticed. The world you and I share is not in such good shape these days. The list of challenges, problems and frighteningly compelling global issues is growing and seems not to be affected much by our hopes that it will change or our desire to have it somehow be resolved by someone else. Long gone are the days when we can rely on ... Continue Reading >>
Keeping Score
It's been a long time since I've considered the notion of 'keeping score'... maybe because now, the games I play are intended exclusively for my own accelerated evolution, and not much else! Is that a good thing? A bad thing? I have no idea - I only know that I love being me. I think that's a clue.A couple of weeks ago, I was reminded of the notion of ... Continue Reading >>
Layers of Discovery
We have such desire to know ourselves. We have become restless in the need to fulfill some unnamed yet insistent drive to seek more than who we have been taught to believe ourselves to be. With a relentless spirit, we pursue our evolution, trusting that we’ll come to where we need to be and find… what?... we’re not quite sure. Yet we sense that we must ... Continue Reading >>
