“Squeezing a tennis ball in your hand won’t change its shape or where it lands if you toss it or let it go, but it does waste energy… your energy.”

“I can feel these feelings when they call, but I can always allow the path that is mine to reveal itself, inspiring choice that brings me back into the sun.”

“We are more than the singular existence we may see in the mirror. We are a collection of selves, creating and moving through our present experience.”

“There are no borders or boundaries on our planet except those that we create in our minds or through human behaviors. All the ideas and concepts that divide us when we are on the surface begin to fade from orbit and the moon. The result is a shift in worldview, and in identity.” - Frank White

“The simple question of ‘what about this feels unsafe’ has the potential to create deeper understanding of fear and opens pathways to speaking authentically to our experiences.”

“Love is not a pie. It’s our universe. It costs nothing to share. It costs nothing to receive. It’s available. It can be experienced everywhere -- even within us -- if we are willing to let it in.”

“The world we live in today seems to move us in the direction of ‘this or that’ and ‘either/or,’ with little regard for the liminal space between two ideas or positions. What I am finding more and more is that the values we hold often place us somewhere in the middle of two ideas.”

“I was using information and fear from the past to inform fear of the future. I found myself with one foot in the past and one in the future, straddling with great effort the one place I needed to be: the present.”

“When it comes to the feeling of good or bad ‘vibes,’ what we are really talking about are these forces that attract and repel, driven by vibration. What hangs in the air between two people, a person and a space, or even a person and an idea… this is resonance and dissonance.”

“What I have come to learn about fear is that it is, more than anything, a physical response that generates states of being that change the way we move through the world.”

“When I am operating in my genius, time moves differently and things flow seamlessly from one to the next. The satisfaction is life-giving. The expression of your genius increases presence, connection, and aliveness while creating opportunities for powerful expansion.”

“Whoever is the publicist for the word ‘joy’ has outdone themselves, especially during the holiday season. You’ve got songs, decorations, throw pillows, reclaimed wood signs with vinyl lettering… joy seems to be everywhere. But what ~is~ joy? How do we experience it?”

“A few months ago, I wrote the short excerpt below. As I re-read it this week, it seems to resonate just as much, if not more today. I hope it sparks something in you as well.”

“When we began planning the weekend, we decided one thing rather quickly: we wanted to lead with gratitude… and not just that. Gratitude in action: appreciation.”

“I want to share a ~scary story~ involving local government offices and services, along with a lesson in seeing the “best” in others.”

Here’s a story that I wrote a few weeks back, which details an experience and realization that I am still thinking about today. I hope there is a little something in here for each of you.

“It is all around us, and even within us. Some might say it’s unavoidable… but give me a moment and let’s see if I can change your mind.”

“This reframe is rooted in the idea that boundaries are simply a means to an end. When arriving to a place and space where a boundary may seem to fit, my toss to anyone reading is to consider this…”

“It may seem that everyone is looking at the same thing, but when you come to understand the unique experience that has shaped the lens of another, decidedly this is untrue.”
