This is not a meditation…

by

.... and it is an invitation to consider:  "How else might I choose to live MY Life, today!" It doesn't have to be hard or take a long time.  The simple act of choosing - mindfully and intentionally - to pause... and redirect your attention... can change your Life. ... Continue Reading >>

Focus: Choosing an Emerging Future

by 2 Comments

The easiest thing in the world to do, these days, is find something miserable to contemplate; something that will engender fear and a sense of hopelessness and despair.  Thanks - I'll pass! In addition to being retired, I now have the great benefit of having even fewer obligations as all around me closes up and compresses the Space within which any signs ... Continue Reading >>

Going First

by

As Gloria Steinem once said: The truth will set you free…. but first, it will piss you off! Why do such sentiments linger for so long? Because they strike a chord in so many. The attending ‘knowing’ lives silently in so many who do not dare …. until one does. Someone always has to go first. Going first is not always fun. At some times - and still, in ...

Wholeness of Being

by

In turbulent times, the ability to navigate - both at the level of the world that 'is' as well as at the level of the world that you intuit could be - is a critical expression of your Being.  If you cannot trust that, within yourSelf, you have no choice but to seek out some other, outside-of-you voice and surrender to being led, in the hope that doing so ...

Jennifer Hatt: Lifting the Fog of Shame

by

"Like fog over a town, shame roiling through our inner landscape penetrates everywhere and everything, obscures our vision, slows movement to a crawl, dampens desire to do anything except stay warm and dry and wait it out. Unlike fog, though, shame won’t just burn off, lift, or otherwise vanish on its own. We can’t control the weather. We can, however, ... Continue Reading >>

From AI to IA

by Leave a Comment

Today is a day like any other. You wake up…. repeat one more time all of the morning rituals/habits that, once taught, simply mindlessly direct behaviour until your body will no longer co-operate… and launch your day. No matter what you believe to be true from all those things you read, watch and listen to, you can easily find a different source that ... Continue Reading >>

Self Directed Evolution: New Approach

by

When circumstances change, we adapt or - far too often - find ourselves adrift in a sea of confusion and uncertainty.  In those moments, discovering how to turn to our inner cues for guidance can be the lifeline that pulls us into a more powerful context for choosing meaningfully and with a future direction in mind. If this has a resonance for you, this ... Continue Reading >>

Emergencies Act Unconstitutional: Federal Court

by

In a decision released today - January 23, 2024 - Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley said invocation of the Emergencies Act by the Trudeau Liberal government led to the infringement of constitutional rights. For many, February 14, 2022 will long be remembered as the day that democracy in Canada felt the first deep thrust into the heart of a Nation in ... Continue Reading >>

One Mother’s Transformation: a story, shared

by

It can be a challenge to accept that transformation happens in a breath... in the blink of an eye... and is a choice. This shared, life-changing experience (below) comes from a woman who has been a part of Stela Murrizi's year-long Unapologetically Unfuckwithable: Embracing the Crone that I AM .  Mother to a young girl who came into her life from an ...

Commit: 90 Seconds to Change Your World

by

Every day… at noon, local time…. stop what you’re doing and: Turn your full attention to yourself… to your body… and take 3 long, slow, deep and deliberate breaths. Then, as you take the next long, slow, deep and intentional breath... on the exhale, say calmly and peacefully to yourself: BE STILL... Slowly, take another long, slow, deep and ...

Creating Change

Deep and ancient is the lie that binds potential to the limitations of matter. There is no value in struggling with effects in matter.  Power lives through exploration and discovery above the Choice Point... in the only place where intention can emerge into reality. ... Continue Reading >>

Stela & Jennifer: Conversations that awaken!

by

Another layer presents, allowing a deeper dive into the untapped potential that lives in our silence. Stela Murrizi just posted in response to Jennifer Hatt's recent blog on Pen and Punishment, adding thoughts of her own as well as a link to a recorded conversation that she and Jennifer recently had.  In this compelling exploration, they delve into the ...

Jennifer Hatt: Pen and Punishment

by

Another great offering from Jennifer Hatt! Putting our innermost thoughts to the page is a metaphor for being both willing and able to have the truth of who we are be revealed for all to consider. Once we do so, what lives in us is no longer 'private' - our secret world has emerged for all to see.  "Better to play our cards close to the chest", we say. ... Continue Reading >>

‘Truth’ as Deception

by

Some things bear repeating. I posted the original blog in May, 2020.  Although it seems like a lifetime ago, it still feels as if it were yesterday.  It would also seem that the chasm has both deepened and widened when it comes to making the leap into an expression of 'being' this is relevant and meaningful; and that will allow for resilience in an ...

Intimacy: Looking in All the Wrong Places

by

Recently, I had a compelling exploration with two amazing young women on the topic of intimacy.  I am blessed with a 'retirement' that continues to be filled with women of courageous heart and expansive mind with insatiable appetites for discovery and their own evolution.  As they evolve, so do I... in a never-ending shared dance of possibility and ...

Stela Murrizi: Tips on Choosing Joy this Holiday Season!

by

"How you relate to life is a matter of what you choose to prioritize in your mind with the things you focus on. I know, from personal experience, that what we think we must prioritize doesn’t feel like a choice because we feel taken by the thing we are habitually focused on. Therein lays the predicament – the capacity to notice choice has become hijacked by ... Continue Reading >>

Celebrating our Becoming

by

We all know that there is always more - and sometimes, we are wise to just stop… take a breath… and fully appreciate the road travelled. Stop... notice... and celebrate just how far our journey has brought us; how many insights and discoveries we have ‘become’ the living expression of; and just how courageous and deeply committed we have proven ourselves ...

ARC: Alliance for Responsible Citizenship – Inaugural Conference

by

"The ARC of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice." The newly-minted Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) recently held its inaugural conference in London, UK.  The brainchild of Dr. Jordan Peterson, more than 1000 of the world's cutting-edge thinkers gathered to reconsider how else we might choose to create a future for ourselves, ...

Wendy McGean: In Conversation with Louise

by

What a delightful opportunity that was!  I got to spend time in conversation with a woman who is deeply committed to her own journey of discovery.  Without imposition of any particular direction, the stream-of-consciousness led the way, for us both. Wendy McGean is a Certified CODE Model Coach™.  Her new podcast is a dive into exploring:  "How else might ... Continue Reading >>

Stela Murrizi: A Mother’s Internal Cues Matter to Our Children’s Evolution

by

"How many children grow up to feel unwanted by their mothers? And then spend the rest of their lives trying desperately to “be somebody” while perpetually battling a perpetual inner war of never enough. How many mothers mean to abandon their children? What is abandonment, anyway? Perhaps we’ll start here. Because abandonment is a nominalization. It ... Continue Reading >>

Living at the Edge of Distinction

by

I do not know what destiny you will choose to create for yourself in the midst of what seems to be an intentional and expansive press for us to lose our minds, abandon intentional will and choose death. Our own death and the death of others who seek to call us into the worst expression of our potential. And perhaps - at some deeper level of truth - to ... Continue Reading >>

Sheila Winter Wallace: ‘Decloaking’ 5-day on ZOOM – Oct. 1 to 5

The 30-Second Pause: Pivot for Potential

by

At some point, each of us must decide: from which side of the dotted line (Quantum Biological Human™) do we choose to engage? Do we choose to live from habit and repetition or do we choose to live from potential?  The outcome of that choice determines whether we live IN ’the muck’ or whether we live FROM possibility. Lately, I have been in frequent ... Continue Reading >>

Jennifer Hatt: The Power of Salty Surrender

by

Fresh from a 5-day Decloaking and Living Authentically transformational intensive with Stela Murrizi in Dartmouth, NS, a new wave of insight emerges to become the courage to engage!  It is not by accident that post-tropical storm Lee was drawn to where the action was.  :) Here is a taste of discovery, from Jennifer's new blog post: "I have spent much of ...

The Bigger Picture: Richard Dolan and Paul Wallis

In the world of human evolution, willingness makes room for ability to unfold. Without willingness - and regardless of skill level - nothing changes.

AI: A future of even greater manipulation?

by

Were you to make the time to explore recent conversations with those on the cutting edge of AI, you may find yourself numbed by the potential for 'reality' to disappear into a bubbling stew of newly-created 'truths' for you to absorb. How will you be able to tell what will contribute to your own intentions?  How will you define those intentions for ... Continue Reading >>

Navigating Chaos: Layers of Loss

by

Today brings the third and final sound clip from a recent Navigating Chaos experience.  This one explores the many layers of the process of loss, encouraging discovery of the unexamined and often unclaimed, unique insights that loss can provoke.  Too often, habits and history limit who we can become from embracing loss as the invitation to create, ...

Jennifer Hatt: Feeding Ourselves in the New Millennium

by

"Nourishment for a healthy life goes way beyond proteins and vitamins and dietary fibre. The food we choose to consume is part of nourishment that keeps our body healthy and we as divine godforce engaged with our human experience here on Earth. Our body also needs nourishment of other sources. We need information that challenges, invites, and creates ... Continue Reading >>

Navigating Chaos: Change as Process

by

Few of us consider change beyond the event within which it rests.  However, the simple act of Being human is in and of itself, a process... and within that one lives the inevitability of change as a sub-set of our humanness. Change requires an inhale to consider and an exhale to express the outcome of having chosen.  Beyond the 'nitty gritty' details of ... Continue Reading >>

Jennifer Hatt: Tap Dancing in the Minefield of the Heart

by

"It’s a conversation that’s been a long time coming. On the outside things look fine; on the inside something is missing, feels off, irritates or just plain hurts. For years, explaining things away, rationalizing that things are great, good enough, okay, as much as we deserve since others have it a lot worse. Until either the body gives out or refuses to ...

Navigating Chaos: Emerging Species

by

I think it is both fair and accurate to say that 'overwhelm' is an internal state with which many can identify.  To accept overwhelm as a part of today's currency is a wise decision - to succumb to it is a recipe for enslavement at many levels of our 'being'. In our recent 'Navigating Chaos' exploration, the topic was that of moving through loss.  In ... Continue Reading >>

Sheila Winter Wallace: Money and Uncertainty

by

"Hind sight is easy. Over the years, I have been approached by so many women who worked hard, looked good, were smart, savvy, and took their responsibilities with others seriously. Somehow, they forgot themselves; they forgot that they matter. All of these conversations were had privately or in small groups of women in safe spaces. And sometimes, it took ...

Neil Oliver: The coercion of the banks

by

In Canada, we had our own and early experience with this.  Totally devoid of courage to engage in the simple act of opening a dialogue with the thousands upon thousands who both acted and supported the actions of the Truckers, our purportedly democratic government declared the Emergencies Act - a war act - and shut down, in the blink of an eye and from a ...

Navigating Chaos: Who will you choose to be?

by

And the beat goes on... and on... and on.....  The drums of war - of war with ideas and concepts; with ourselves and each other; and perhaps, worst of all, with our own inner truth - are moving from a distant drone to a vibration in the chest, as they move closer to home. Decision time. No longer something 'out there' to be observed and dismissed as not ... Continue Reading >>

Richard Dolan: Humanity at a Crossroads

by

So... one more thing to add to the already-too-long-and-overwhelming list of changes presenting in our daily lives.  Richard Dolan has long been a voice of reason on a topic that engenders both fear and ridicule for any who seek to better inform themselves in their search for what 'truth' might be in this vast and boundless invitation to redefine both ...

Memory Lane: How then shall I live?

by

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I originally wrote this July 29, 2020.  Almost three years ago... and yet, at some level, feels like a lifetime ago.  Stop, for a moment, and consider what has unfolded in  your life... your reality... over these last three years.  And sadly, it's not over, yet - there is much more to come. Despite ... Continue Reading >>

Navigating Chaos: Touchstone for Transition

by

Given all that is tearing at us, seeking to capture our attention, the word 'chaos' seems to be almost too 'normal' to do justice to the great effort that is currently unfolding.  And I do believe it to be an intentional effort to fracture our ability to trust ourselves and each other. More and more, less and less remains of our habituated ways of moving ... Continue Reading >>

Nassim Haramein: The Science of What We Are

by

One of his most recent, this conversation explores the concept of manifesting your life and what it takes to make that happen.  As the exploration moves from the broad to the specific,  Nassim clearly states that before we can manifest, we have to understand what we are. For those of you familiar with the WEL-Systems® journey of discovery, you will ... Continue Reading >>

Navigating Chaos: finding stability in the absurd

by

So... have been spending my time watching and listening and pondering and exploring.  Noticing patterns, repeating.  Not just listening TO but listening FOR the language that is the wave of intelligence seeking compliance through fear.  Sadly, I have not had to search very hard nor for very long to have more than my fill. I've also been intentionally ... Continue Reading >>

Act now! Starts May 21st: year-long with Stela Murrizi

by

  "The conversations we are in determine the quality of our lives. So stop wasting your life on conversations that are meaningless and unfulfilling. Embrace becoming, instead. BUT … How could you become massive when you keep your conversations small? How could you become mindful when you choose habituated and familiar conversations? How could ... Continue Reading >>

Resourceful and Resilient

by

Sometimes, we forget we're up for it... with 'it' being an intentional outcome of our own choosing.  Just because 'the world' (out there) is not yet designed to facilitate it, does not mean that its facilitation is not possible. In the face of what seems to be the impossible, consider that its presence is really the provocation to consider:  "How badly do ... Continue Reading >>

All the things we don’t want to know…..

by

After opening remarks, the first two presenters are David Martin and Nick Hudson, both of whom I have posted here, in the past.  These particular offerings are succinct, substantiated and likely deeply disturbing to all - jabbed and unjabbed, alike.  In Canada, that is estimated to be over 80% of the population.  Globally, in excess of 5.5 billion ...

Desperate times demand daring intentions

by

In my most recent post, I shared with you a sound clip from a gathering of women seeking to explore what it takes to manifest their meaningful world.  That first full day of conversation was greatly enriched by the depth and breadth of both willingness and ability of the women who were there.  Each had many hours of living in and from a very different ...

The Power of Trusting: “I don’t know”

by

Recently, I found myself noticing the prevalence of all the times and things that I no longer know.  Gone are the days when how it has been was useful in any way to guide me through how it might become.  So, true to my deep trust in the inclusion of many aspects of my own consciousness - seeking to be expressed through the provocation of others - I invited a ...

Grace

by

Grace. Much authenticity and ’truth’ can ride on the flow of Grace as it leaves your body into the Space that surrounds you. There is much power in Grace.  Power to invite and allow; to attract and compel; to awaken and soothe. Grace allows for an authentic (yet, possibly jarring) expression to be able to be heard. A difficult, challenging truth can be ... Continue Reading >>

Unstoppable emergence

by

Ah yes… the unstoppable power of emergence; of that natural and essential state of Being that demands constant and perpetual movement… and change… and evolution. That is the essence of who we are.  In other words: we are not intended to ever be fully baked; to ever be ‘done’; to ever think that there is any end-state to which we can/must aspire… and all else ...

Selective truth of mind-share

by

The longer I live, the shorter my attention span becomes. It now takes a lot for me to be drawn to engage. The conversation is the key: how big, how far and how deep can it go? At this time in my own evolution, the desire to continue to evolve and become is greater than it has ever been. As more and more, science challenges our long-held thinking on who ...

Parenting: for good instead of evil

by

The process of parenting is the delivery mechanism for culture.  Not good/bad, right/wrong... just the way it is.  How mindful are we - as parents and parental surrogates - of the power of our influence to shape reality for developing, young minds?  How directed are we, in that process, to ensure compliance rather than exploration and discovery? Consider ... Continue Reading >>

Surrender

by

Surrender… the truth that you are so sure is the right one. Surrender… your unwillingness to intentionally allow chaos to emerge. Surrender… the certainty of your habits for the uncertainty of your potential. Surrender… the truth of their evidence for the truth of your experience. Surrender… the path you’re on to the moment you’re ... Continue Reading >>

Before we can…

by

... we must be willing to face into and lay claim to all that has told us that we can't.  Without that, we seek to spread the seeds of our potential on concrete... without breaking up the barrier and making way for the ability to penetrate to the nutrient-rich soil below.  And in the face of bearing witness to that potential's inevitable and slow dying, we ...

Becoming Unglued

by

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. With the passage of time, data accumulate that reveal the popcorn trail of where we have been. Bits and pieces begin to ... Continue Reading >>

Awakening inside a Collective Coma

by

What does it take for a collective to wake up? Is it even possible for a collective to wake up? A bunch of people shuffling in the same direction does not an intelligent organism make. If the individuals are not present, mindful and awake, putting a large number of them together does not increase intelligence but in truth, decreases it. The fine art of ... Continue Reading >>

Risk

by

We were told that the risk was that we would lose our health… and our lives. We discovered that the risk is that we are losing our freedoms. The danger looms that we are at risk of losing our minds. Mind is the ground from which reality emerges and takes shape. Who owns my mind… owns me. Who owns your mind? ... Continue Reading >>

Audacity: A salute to the women who dare…

by

It is not easy to be authentic in the living of your Life. The pressures to conform; to not stand out; to be reasonable and appropriate (whatever that means); to find the comfortable and acceptable middle ground that does not disturb… these override the inner drive to be fully present to and expressive of all that brings joy and meaning into your life! In ... Continue Reading >>

Imagining Your Life

by

I recently had an email exchange with a delightful young woman I have come to cherish.  As I read her words, it occurred to me that the past continued to be the context within which the ability  to choose had become  'frozen' in the face of imagined consequences.  So, with that awareness in mind, I offered her a different perspective from which to consider ...

How, then, shall you choose?

by

In the last month or so, I’ve written about the relationship between choice and intention; and about the underpinnings of truth and its deep roots in the mind-shaping process of parenting (and its surrogates) who fly the flag of our best interests and keeping us safe. The pull to simply capitulate and abdicate to ‘the voice of (a caring) authority’ is a ... Continue Reading >>

Truth: the elusive Unicorn in our current reality

by

Brace for impact: incoming rant…. What is truth? Where does truth live? How do we know when we’ve found it? Like everyone else on the planet, I grew up believing that what I was told by those who tended to me on a daily basis (inside the family circle, i.e. parents/grandparents/older siblings) and their chosen surrogates (those outside the family ...

The Power to Design a Life

by

For some, these are curious times. For others, these are frightening, uncertain and chaotic times. At the very least, these are times that press us to either pay closer attention or dive deeper into our preferred strategy for avoidance. However it may be unfolding for you, the one unavoidable moment for any and all of us will be the one when we must choose. ... Continue Reading >>
