From the beginning of time, there has been a voice inside of us that whispers for us to remember…remember. It’s the stillness in our heart that quietly yearns for us to believe, trust, and surrender ourselves to the unfolding of life that we call our reality. We’ve become accustomed to waking up every day with […]
Today, I’d like to tell you a story you already know, about a character you’ve met, in a place you’ve been many, many times. A few weeks ago, I was deep in meditation. The meditation was a visualization; taking you from relaxation to visualizing yourself as a bird soaring in the sky. As the guide […]
Modern schooling has trained us to view our individual progress as a vertical score; A-F at any given time. This mind set is something we tend to carry in other areas of our lives; grading ourselves with semi-permanent ‘scores’ that often pull us down into depression, instead of giving us an optimistic outlook about our […]
With the new year brings a time of resolutions, promises, parties, and reflection on the previous year. Rather than write a long-winded blog about a single topic, I wanted to jot down a few things I did differently in 2015 that contributed to being the best year of my life. 1.

As the new year is approaching and we are working on creating resolutions, I like to reflect on the year and ponder the lessons and overall themes learned. One thought kept coming to mind, and I wanted to share the story behind my recent eviction of two words from my vocabulary. “I’m sorry.” I decided […]
Tonight, I crossed an intersection of understanding; realizing span in which I’ve traveled – the long road ahead towards a tomorrow of change. As humans, we often develop an air of entitlement and charge; boldly taking ground with our steel-toed boots and ambitions. As such new beings of consciousness, we fail to realize the ground […]
A wolf and a sheep came across each other in a pasture. The sheep asked the wolf “What do you eat?” The wolf replied “I eat meat for survival.” “Wouldn’t it be easier to eat grass?” asked the sheep. “It’s not the meat that keeps me alive.” replied the wolf, “it is the hunt.” People are […]
….and there you were. Eyes right across from mine. the universe eclipses in this moment Time laps. laps. laps. being. just being. you. me. we. one. I’ve spent some time recently exploring the concept of being ‘awakened‘ as this year has brought me to a realization that I’ve been coming to this point. Truth be […]
