Over my many years of living this way, perhaps the greatest irritation/frustration/annoyance/anger from clients/participants has been in the recognition that the answer is always ‘yes’. The answer is always ‘yes’ in the seeming contradictions of the need to have boundaries and collapse boundaries. In the need to speak and be silent. The need to stay and the ... Continue Reading >>

Vote with your feet
When reason, logic and the natural intelligence that supports Life can no longer prevail, all that remains is to vote with your feet. Nothing says, "I'm done!" like taking your children and walking away. ... Continue Reading >>
Without edges, compliance/conformity reign!
Neither I - nor anyone else - will talk you into or out of your commitment to what you believe. That profound and life-altering level of change can only come from within you. What I am doing here is pointing to higher-order intentions that direct it all… most (and I mean most) of which you are oblivious to. Why? Because you’ve been trained to be oblivious to ... Continue Reading >>
Reclaiming
Who am I when I am not my parents’ child? Who owns my life in the moment that I choose to ’take on the mortgage’ of my life as my abode? No one to bail me out…. What is the biggest, most-expansive and most terrifying surrender that, ultimately, returns me to my Self? ... Continue Reading >>
A Foot in the Door: You cannot have my children!
For the last soon-to-be three years, I have watched in grief and shock at the reprehensible and intentional 'disappearing' of a way of life, in my own country, that I never dreamed would be so easily surrendered. The mouth of one becomes a channel for the voice of another. What is presented turns out to have been but a cloak of deception for what continues ... Continue Reading >>
Reclaiming the Power of Your Mind
Fundamental to all that I have developed over the last 30 years - as well as how I choose to live my life - is the construct of the structure of thought. This is a way of exploring how a human being thinks…. exploring the process of thought, itself… and discovering how to become more effective in connecting with an existing thought process and expanding it ... Continue Reading >>
A Tribute: Sheila Winter Wallace
Sheila and I have been friends almost half of my life. Paths crossing long ago through shared professional interests led us to become fast friends and eventually, colleagues... deeply committed to the ongoing evolution of women - including ourselves. With a diverse background that led to the accumulation of her exceptional skills and abilities in ... Continue Reading >>
Endings and New Beginnings
Times have changed - and so have I. Although words have long flowed easily for me, in this moment of seeking to share a ’shift’ with all of you, I find myself bereft of any ease in its expression. Not because I don’t know what I know about myself - I simply do not yet have any words to make sense of it. Surely, an indication that what I am experiencing is ... Continue Reading >>
Power of Language
You are not the flesh, speaking the words - you are the words in flesh, having been spoken. ... Continue Reading >>
Sheila Winter Wallace: Futility of Saviour Politics
‘Saviour’ has been rumbling around in my awareness for sometime. I choose to live unequivocally and intentionally for evolution of Self for it’s own sake; my chosen way of living is not a side hobby to peruse at my leisure, separate from living in the delusional world that is external to me. Everything is a metaphor for everything else, in my life. (Sheila ... Continue Reading >>
Beyond solving a problem to transforming a life…
There is an unapologetic ferocity to how Stela chooses to live her life. Annoying? For some. Provocative? For many! Compelling and life-giving? Always! ™™™ Perhaps her greatest gift lies in the unrelenting press for us to notice: how it once was, no longer is. Our world has already changed and we seem to be in no great hurry to notice and/or do ... Continue Reading >>
Parenting: What it takes to let go….
A conversation for the time we’re in! In this moment, the trance of the last 100 years is deeply disturbed. The next steps we take will determine if we are entrained into a new trance… or if we give our children what they need to create a future outside of trance. It really is up to us! ============================ "My son is part of this world ... Continue Reading >>
Kathleen Bulger: Art of Expansion Cards
"This is the card I pulled. Who are you surrounding yourself with was the first question that popped into my mind? Are they people with an innate curiosity willing to explore what might come up for them in both thoughts, feelings, and experiences? Who in my circle is courageous? ….and are they courageous enough to stand alone if they need to?…. Am ... Continue Reading >>
Stela-Shakti: Courage
"It takes great courage to step out of the comfort zone and try something that feels real and true. It takes courage to leave the shallow and the shell and dive head first into the deep and the dark. " It Takes Great Courage ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: What Darkness Reveals…
"There is nowhere to hide, no need to hide, and now increasingly more…no desire to hide. I seek, and I find. The darkness reveals. Infinitely. My only “goal”: stay deeply, profoundly, intentionally curious. It is only from that space of divine curiosity that I not only discover or create, but live. I need not always have something to say. I simply be, and ... Continue Reading >>
Sheila Winter Wallace: Owning it All !
We live in a world - at a time - when 'truth' has become fluid. No longer easily identifiable as a touchstone to remind us or a guide-stone to show us the way, we wander in the desert of contradictions, fabrications and outright deceptions. Without sense of any destination, we are left with the deeply-uprooted consequences of our daily struggle to find ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Women and Rage!
In the last 18 months, many powerful women in my reality have chosen to leave this realm. Each, in her own way, a unique expression of potential... and for some, potential unfulfilled. Having worked with women intensely and intimately for close to 30 years, I am mindful of the Fire energy that courses through the tissue of so, so many women. This Fire ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi: with Poetry of Predicament Podcast
Collective change is the byproduct of the individuals within the collective experiencing individual change. There is no way around it: it always comes back to the individual. To The One that each of us, is. To me. And to you. Owning that takes courage. Are you up for it? ... Continue Reading >>
The Silent Deep
Valentines Day - February 14, 2022 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invokes the Emergencies Act. Inside…. where I live…. has gone silent. Words cannot be found to allow that which writhes through me to emerge and find expression in an outer world that ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: Own Your Mind
One of the many things I appreciate and value about Stela's way of moving through her world is her unbound willingness to allow her own internal chaos to be a visible and living part of her evolution. We are all - many times in our lives - 'caught' in the death-struggle of internal vs external cues. Rather than struggle, we can discover how to make it a ... Continue Reading >>
Guest Post : Lisa LeBrun – Embracing All of Me
It takes all of us to weave a new tapestry of Being that can bring warmth and comfort to an often fragile and tentative emergence of Self. And for us all: yet another authentic and strong Voice of emergent Being.

Triggering Life Choices: What is QuantumTLC™ ?
QuantumTLC™ (QTLC) is an essential part of the perpetually-evolving body of knowledge known as WEL-Systems®. For more than two decades, this profound and life-expanding experience has been at the very core of my own evolution; and a critical aspect in assisting others in embracing a richer, fuller and more meaningful, creative and authentic way of Being, in ...

New Program with Stela Murrizi: January 2022
In the midst of it all, it is imperative that we not lose faith... in ourselves. Your body knows the vibration of 'truth', just like it knows the vibration of 'deception'. Perhaps the first step for each of us is to recognize the difference and stop betraying ourselves! Explore what a deep and life-altering dive into your own potential can look/feel ...

Awaken and Reclaim: Stela Shakti
"How “reality” is structured in our mind impacts the quality of life we believe we have access to. But, is what we’ve got really all there is? All there could be? In my experience, the more I inquire about myself within the good company of other curious women, the more I discover, the more empowered I know myself to be." In times of great uncertainty (like ...

Stela Shakti: A Woman’s Voice – Strong and Loud
"In their desperate desire to have this so-called pandemic end, they are not noticing that it is NOT ending, I dare say intentionally. It is mind boggling how people are not one iota curious about how 15 days to flatten the curve has turned into mandated forced injections yearly for anyone who wants to be part of “us”. And anyone who doesn’t, well, clearly ... Continue Reading >>
Accountability for Individual Choice
It is never about the choice - it is always about The One doing the choosing. There will be no needle in this arm. How far am I willing to go with that? I don’t know… .but I’m sure I will soon find out. More and more, the rhetoric is inflamed and directed at germinating constant fear and deep loathing of one slice of the population for another. Having ... Continue Reading >>
This is not a drill.
"Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.” (Frank Herbert, 'Dune') I retired in 2015 from the full-time engagement of my life’s work of the previous 25 years. I turned my attention to other things… things that I had too often overlooked or ignored, or ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: The Silent Pain of Toxic Masculinity
"I’ve now long known something not everyone seems to pick up on: that external referencing is not our friend. Capitalist/industrialist/individualist culture is not our friend. Patriarchy is not our friend. Our own mind, when shaped by these influences, is not our friend. When our mind is not our friend, we aim to escape, to forget in whatever way ... Continue Reading >>
Melissa Allison: What is Real?
"We each know our own sliver of what’s happening based on what we experience directly or through media (deep faked or otherwise). That knowledge forms our truth, and while it is necessarily subjective, it is far from impotent. What we believe about ourselves and the world greatly shapes how we feel inside and what comes next. This happens whether we realize ... Continue Reading >>
Mandy Sandbach: Conversation with Poetry of Predicament
Another compelling and authentic conversation with Dean Walker (Poetry of Predicament podcast) and Mandy Sandbach. With evident deep respect for Self, Self of other and the living Planet, this exploration takes many twists and turns - with every one a gateway to a new insight. Enjoy! ... Continue Reading >>
Louise and Dean: New Conversation in Chaotic Times
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 >>
Melissa Allison: Poetry of Predicament
Another great conversation with Melissa Allison and Dean Walker of The Poetry of Predicament podcast. You'll find the blog post referred to on Melissa's blog. Be sure to allow time for browsing - there is much shared that will touch your Soul. Enjoy! ... 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 >>
New post: Stela Shakti
Culturally... globally... we are caught/trapped in the bands of the hurricane. Every moment of every day, we seek the right information that we might make the right choices - for ourselves and those we care about. Consider, for a moment, how life might change were we to move into the eye of the hurricane; move into that place of vast stillness and calm; ... Continue Reading >>
Mindful Choice vs Habituation
Far more important than any single, particular choice is the underlying - and far too often, invisible - process for choosing that determines the way we move through the world. At this time in our human experience, the frequency and range of choices with which we are faced is offering up the opportunity for us to begin to notice that underlying process and ... Continue Reading >>
Evolution: From mindless habits to mindful choices
As the pressure continues to mount for compliance driven by fear and the absence of truth, paying attention to what moves inside us becomes more and more evident as the force for critical difference. As we wipe the deep sleep from our eyes, we begin to recognize: we are no longer children, at the mercy of purported 'authority figures' who know better than ... 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 >>
New Post – Stela Shakti: Regeneration of Self
"What happens to the essence of my being in that exact moment that I choose habitual living that keeps me stagnated and shuts out my very essence? Where does the “I” that I AM go? In what ways have I become the habit that brings no meaning in my life? Who do I become in moments where living choice-point down reinforces all that I have ever known? Is there ...

Inner Guidance, Lives!
Another compelling and Life-sustaining conversation between Naomi Irons and Dean Spillane-Walker. It gives me hope to know that there will be many more... each dive a little deeper than the last. Before you know it, we will have remembered: we can breathe under water! ... Continue Reading >>
Going on a Data Diet
Some time ago, I removed myself from all forms of social media. In one fell swoop, Facebook, Twitter and Linked-In disappeared from my life. I thought I would miss them. Truth is: I don’t. With the passage of time, my curiosity expanded and led me into my most recent experiment: freeing myself from unlimited consumption of all the delights of the ... Continue Reading >>
Choosing the Freedom to Choose
Do not speak of climate change. Instead, ask: who do I choose to BE in the face of a rapidly changing climate? Do not speak of pandemics and vaccines. Instead, ask: who do I choose to BE in the face of immense and collective pressure to comply without raising question or voice? As I celebrate my 70th birthday, I do so in the full awareness that I have ... Continue Reading >>
The Search for Answers
Here’s what I’ve discovered after 30 years of engaging with others: People don’t need advice or to have their answers put in place by another. They need a more powerful and effective way to find answers for themselves; and find value in the process that takes them there. ... Continue Reading >>
Life is fluid..
If we were to allow ourselves to own that the process of living is fluid and not fixed, changing our mind would become the requisite underpinning of living a meaningful and joyous life. ... Continue Reading >>
Sheila Winter Wallace: Guilt and Changing My Mind
"...I had lived with a specific rule - an obligatory one - outside of my conscious awareness throughout my entire life - that I could not change my mind. For me, the right to change my mind has become a required rite of passage I have been actively advocating for with others for over the last 15 years in my life’s ‘work’. It is not that I have never changed ... Continue Reading >>
Deb Gleason: On Conscious Creation
"With willpower letting me down, I focused once again on manifestation, and I can see now that the problem I had was that I never did have the full picture. While in the past I’d done my best to hold the ideas of what I wanted, I also held beliefs that I was undeserving of what I desired. For the most part this belief was out of my awareness, having been ... Continue Reading >>
Upcoming Online Events: Sheila Winter Wallace
Ease of access. Convenience. A way of integrating new discovery into day-to-day living. All of these are available to those who choose to engage with others via technology. Perhaps, something may be missed without the face-to-face contact... and yet, so much more is gained by allowing ourselves to engage and not be deterred by our current set of ... Continue Reading >>
Parenting Podcast: Naomi Irons and Angela Burton
Another compelling exploration in the Poetry of Predicament podcast series; dedicated to fully embracing the magnificence of our imperfection as we navigate a more life-giving parenting process for ourselves and our children. These are not 'business as usual' times. We can feel the compression that is taking place on all levels of our expression, as a ... Continue Reading >>
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 >>
The Great Divide: Pandemic Fallout
Inside the pandemic that continues to shape our global, day-to-day reality through its roiling, seething cauldron of overwhelming and often conflicting ‘facts’, the battle rages on to determine who’s right and who’s not. Once firmly ensconced on the platform of being correct, we can then seek to define what behaviours we should/must exhibit (and insist upon ... Continue Reading >>
Trust Your Body
Never trust anything that does not sit easily in the body. Question everything and in so doing, allow the pieces to fall into place. You don’t need to know - and you do need to be willing to wonder…. ... Continue Reading >>
Are we doomed?
Since my last urge to write (Ascent into Chaos), I have found myself in varying enquiries about the apparent trajectory on which we find ourselves. Many are troubled…agitated… about what may well lie ahead. I can appreciate that some would conclude that we’re doomed. The way I see it, being ‘white’ makes it less aggressive… and being ‘old’ makes it more ... Continue Reading >>
Melissa Allison: New post on old choices
Creating new agreements, with intention Such is the topic of Melissa's latest offering on her blog. I read this one a couple of times, finding the choice of her language to be profoundly authentic and open; trusting that in her vulnerability she would find great strength. There is a grace to this… and a clarity of mind…. that exudes strength and ... Continue Reading >>
Ascent into Chaos
“The All is mind; the Universe is mental.” (The Kybalion; 1st Principle - The Principle of Mentalism) I am grateful for this place where I can write what is meaningful for me to express. In reading what I write, I become able to detect what had remained hidden to my own discernment. I do not write to reveal - I write to discover what remains ... Continue Reading >>
Parenting: The Power of Authentic Self
Join Naomi Irons and her guest - Anne Bérubé - in a potent exploration of the process of parenting; and a revelation of where the power lies to embrace and open potential for our children. As our turbulent times continue to expand, it is not enough to teach our children the basics - we must introduce them to their innate capacity to trust the truth of ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi on: “You Complete Me”… – NOT!
"In my romantic relationship, my partner does not complete me. He did not rescue me from myself, he did not save me from my miserable life, he did not fall in eternal love with me from just one look, he is not lost without me, he does not need me in his life…And neither is he stuck with me “forever”. Instead, we choose each other every step of the way. We ... Continue Reading >>
Sheila Winter Wallace: Upcoming Events May 13th and 20th
"Have you ever really considered what your core values for being alive are? What IS most important to you about being alive? And, if you have engaged in such a reflection, have you considered what has now changed? How was your life working for you before this world as we knew it came to an abrupt stop? How is this change in process suiting you now? As ... Continue Reading >>
Resting Your Mind
The distractions are many and constant. No longer is the frenzied pitch intended to alert us to start or stop something - it is a constant reminder of the purported threat to our very lives. In the droning of background noise …. of television, laptops, tablets and phones; of YouTube, podcasts, live reporting on unfolding events or commentators’ views ... Continue Reading >>

Deb Gleason on: Surrender and Intensity
"What I know about Gaia is that she tells the truth of her own experience without attachment to outcome. She expresses her surrender intensely along a continuum of gentle to fierce. Her most gentle expressions can be observed in the delicate flowers that push through the spring soil, and in the way new ferns unfurl on the rainforest floor. On the other end ...

Now or never: Boundless LeaderSelf™
Now - unlike at any other time in conscious memory - we are being called to create beyond the mindless and incremental that has so relentlessly shaped our collective reality. Our existing constructs of 'leadership' are proving themselves to be limited in the face of multiple incursions into the sanctity of dominion over our own lives, simultaneously ...

Emerging Futures Event : with Naomi Irons & Ella Schatzmann
"The illusions of an absolute reality ‘out there’ have been shattered, making visible the fact that so much of what we’ve been taught or held to be true or necessary, simply are not. The magnitude of what is in actuality our collective and individual choices are being exposed. In this abrupt and global pause from status quo, the earth is rejuvenating; ... Continue Reading >>
Audio Clips for Challenging Times: Deb, Naomi, Sheila, Ella
"In response to what now presents, I am excited to share audio clips from The Virtual Village, a meeting space for expansive conversations held regularly during these changing times with Deb Gleason, Sheila Winter Wallace, Naomi Irons and Ella Schatzmann. All four of us have deeply immersed themselves in the WEL-Systems® framework and speak to these changing ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: A new blog post on parenting
"The two of us, as partners, have created a life where we are both fully present for our son, to the best of our abilities. We chose to co-create him out of love; we chose to stay at home the first few months to adapt to the new lifestyle; we choose to split the chores and responsibilities equitably; we choose to raise our son together. The evolving ... Continue Reading >>
Poetry of Predicament Podcast: Trance State Interrupted
Naomi and I have experienced the great pleasure of each other's company for many years. Each of us has borne witness to the evolution of the other, marked by a shared deep sense of potential greater than any fear; and a willingness to simply invite and allow that which presents.... and trusting it to lead. In a rare moment, indeed, we recently got to ... Continue Reading >>
Three Things
The challenges continue, as billions around the globe are faced with affronts to their deep commitment to habits of body and mind. Gone are the days of ’normal’… when it seemed that the greatest of challenges would rise up in the lives of others - but not my own. In this moment, I am mindful of three things on which I must keep my focus: * I don’t know ... Continue Reading >>
Naomi Irons: Conscious parenting demands conscious parents
A conversation for the time we're in! In this moment, the trance of the last 100 years is deeply disturbed. The next steps we take will determine if we are entrained into a new trance... or if we awaken to a life outside of trance. It really is up to us. ... Continue Reading >>
Eaney… Meaney… Mieney… Mortality
These are interesting times! Without precedent and the accompanying pre-packaged, well-practised, habituated responses, we are faced with mindfully choosing the behaviours which we think will best serve our interests and those of others we care about. In truth, we are now in a time when those ‘others’ must include any and all with whom we may come in ... Continue Reading >>
Deb Gleason: Poetry of Predicament podcast
Another potent exploration of how else we might choose to live our lives today.... particularly in the face of a massive and global 'pause' in the business-as-usual lifestyle expectations.

Sheila Winter Wallace: Focus on Resourcefulness!
"This global pause to be still, let go and let god, invites me to consider what I'd like to contribute in these times of rapid fire uncertainty... contributions that will nourish one's body, mind and soul in ways that will transform pain into peace and possibility. What is it that you need to lead yourself out of overwhelm and into the certainty of your own ... Continue Reading >>
Deb Gleason: New post from the coast!
"I could suddenly see through it all, and I remained determined to follow my inner voice. I decided that the dominant culture could not have me back, and each attempt they made to invite me back toward the pack mentality strengthened my internal resolve. The truth is, it has always been my life, and my life has never been up for debate. My life was never ... Continue Reading >>
Masterful Liars
It is not a good or a bad time… it is simply the time we are in. We find ourselves here and now because we have what it takes to move through this; and if we are both willing and able to embrace this moment - without resistance, without fear and without the desire to run - we will find our way through. I am here and now because the I AM (the ... Continue Reading >>
Wise Women ~ Wise Words
It helps to have something to think about that expands potential rather than compressing it. It's a choice, really, and that choice shapes your world. It has long been understood by many: we become what we think about. Here are some things for you to consider thinking about. And remember: anything that we have created was first a thought in someone's ... Continue Reading >>
FREE ~ Cultural Crones: The Power of Permission
Provocative times call for provocative choices. This is one of those times. In a recent post, I shared a TEDtalk re COVID-19. What stood out for me is that this particular virus transforms (attacks is one way of thinking of it - transforming is quite another) the lungs. In my world, from a CODE Model™ perspective, the lungs are the 4th Chakra (AIR ... Continue Reading >>

Struggle and Dis-ease
There really are no accidents in the Universe. Today, I received and posted a comment on a blog from several years ago... and yet, still relevant as we move through our global pandemic. Below, is the reader's comment: "Synchronicity — when I “randomly” choose an article from your site to read and it is EVERYTHING I wanted to read to feel inspired. (A ... Continue Reading >>

Deep Truth
Deeper truths cry out for stronger voices. Time and Space seek to welcome the forces of expansion and creation rather than succumb to compression and demise. In the deep intuitive of a woman's body lives the seed of a thriving world. Perhaps we would be wise to simply listen. ... Continue Reading >>
Deb Gleason: An Invitation to Thrive!
I share with you an email recently received from Deb Gleason as she continues to carve out new paths for her own evolution. When we choose accelerated personal evolution as a way of Being, it really never does end. Take a moment and consider Deb's invitation to discover personal resilience and resourcefulness in a world that presents increasingly rapid ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: Women, Leadership and Creation
"Today, I know that as woman, I am creator of my own life. The only validation I require to lead is that of my own intuition. I trust that we are designed to embrace that which has been a threat to patriarchy (note, not men) for tens of centuries and thousands of cultures worldwide: our ability to lead from our unique and intuitive femininity. Our ability to ... Continue Reading >>
Being ‘done’
No amount of understanding or explaining will ever give you permission to be fully alive. Your body knows - long before your intellect - when you’re ‘done’. Life explodes with potential the moment you simply trust your body to lead. ... Continue Reading >>
Melissa Allison: New Voice in the Blogosphere
Wow... I must be on some kind of a roll! So much presenting and moving around; so many words in my mouth that seem to need an escape through this final portal to a vast and open expanse of possibility. Although I am no longer here on a regular basis, I am grateful that there remains an outlet for my expression (sporadic as it may be) when I cannot contain ... Continue Reading >>
The Long and Short of it All
As a child, I may well have been described as ‘precocious’ and ’strong willed’. Never one to agree to anything just to appease, or to embrace pretence for peace over discovery (despite the likely chaos to follow) I was also considered by some to be ‘difficult’ (translation: a pain in the ass!). Truthfully? Not much has changed. Now in my 70th year, my ... Continue Reading >>
Shame: Culture’s most powerful weapon
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 >>
