My conversations with Dean Walker of The Poetry of Predicament podcast always open doors to my own as-yet unexpressed thinking. This one proved particularly potent for me. For some time, I have had no interest in speaking, blogging or even journaling. Every thought I have seems to be one that I've had so many times before. As I listened to the podcast ...

Stela Murrizi: Covid-19 and Conventional Narrative
"When it comes to Covid-19, that voice of wisdom tells me that the conventional narrative is inherently untrustworthy and full of countless contradictions. The loudest voices on conventional media AND conspiracy theory channels only spew messages of fear, hatred and shame. We are now experiencing polarization in narratives, and therefore ideologies, like ... Continue Reading >>
Reboot: What’s important to you about being alive?
I originally posted this line of enquiry in January 2020 - and some things just don't go stale. The pursuit of a meaningful life demands an intentional, focused and regular exploration of that which lives within. The invitation for a more authentic and expansive expression of our Being to unveil itself to us cannot be overestimated in its impact and ... Continue Reading >>
Pandemic: Swimming Upstream
An expanded perspective requires more than a sound-byte approach to living; one that goes beyond headlines and talking heads and demands focused attention for hours at a time. In our 10-minute digital world, that has become a foreign concept for the vast majority of us. Not good/bad, right/wrong... and it has a profound impact on how we see the world and ...

Legal Challenge to COVID-19 Measures Filed in Ontario Superior Court
For details of this recent (August 11, 2020) undertaking, click here. This activity is concurrent with similar challenges to the 'party line' now being mounted by equally informed, credentialed and experienced professionals who tell a very different story relative to the last several months of our collective, global lives. These perspectives are not ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi: To choose mindfully is to awaken to the Self
"In my own life, I have come to discover that the more I let go of stories about myself, the more I discover who I AM rather than who I have been led to believe I am (based on who I have always been, and apparently, will always be). After all, I am not fixed, nor made of concrete. The essence of who I AM manifests through my body — a brilliant, living, ... Continue Reading >>
New Interview: Sheila Winter Wallace
An opportunity to consider the bigger picture and notice how the moment is sourced from and shaped by the moments that came before... unless we mindfully choose otherwise. Another provocative exploration with Sheila Winter Wallace as you sip your morning coffee. ... Continue Reading >>
New Post – Naomi Irons: Inner Wild
"Not surprisingly, after week 3 (activating the power center) of our Living Fully Through Conscious Choice experience, I woke this morning to an inner roar. That Elemental part of myself became a visceral surge from the depths of my Being rising to the surface, transforming all that was in its path in the most life giving way. It became immediately clear to ... Continue Reading >>
