Parenting: A Child is not a Legacy
Your life…
... is your own creation. It does not happen by accident or coincidence or synchronicity. It is sculpted by your hand, guided by the clarity of your own intention, sourced and sustained by your deep and abiding connection to Self. There is no mystery to it - and it is most effective when embraced as the emergence from a state of Being rather than a ... Continue Reading >>

Both of these create a gap.... open up a space which to many may appear 'empty' and yet, ... Continue Reading >>
