I believe that understanding is where trust, power and control live and die and that is a fundamental truth we require in order to truly #thrive #heal and #evolve as humans. So often we outsource the requirement of understanding to others, expecting they will know us, will respond to our needs in a way that…
I caught a glimpse of the transformative power of disaster recently when I watched a ‘tough’ older man rendered speechless by tears of appreciation as he shared the story, with an also teary reporter, about the young people in his community who had sandbagged all night to create a levee to save his, and many…
But with rights come responsibility. Which means I have every responsibility to put myself first. This is a condition that we are still grappling with as individuals living in a complex ecosystem. But a tree does not withhold its treeness to avoid hurting another tree. It is unapologetically a tree… but a tree will also…
Over the last 15 years I have come to know that many, possibly all, ‘problems’ have an energetic root…. which, if addressed effectively, can eliminate the problem altogether!

To witness someone in the deep truth of vulnerability is the greatest gift to behold. To remain open-hearted, compassionate and with full love, as the human before you crumbles in the illusion of their body or story, is a precious act that creates a ripple in the universe bigger than any action of ‘real world’…
My daily newsfeed is filled with opportunities to learn new ways, fill my calendar, scale my business, grow to 7 or 8 figures, be busy and in equal measure, slow down, remember my worth and be mindful. Confusing to say the least, they seem to sit at the opposite ends of the spectrum…but no doubt…
