Becoming Unglued
Constantly feeding the Fear Machine is essential. Without that undercurrent of fear, we become willing to slow down... and pause… and examine what becomes evident beyond our desperation for strategies to escape the moment we're in.

Noticing the Joy
This time.... on the heels of the insanity of the last two years and in the throes of the cultural press to do/be/spend more than we can graciously embrace... let the Holiday Season just BE.
