Can You Tell Me the Truth?
I can tell you my truth. Clearly, there is a spectrum of truth from subjective to objective as well as a sphere of truth from the relative to the eternal…I am in awe of the malleability of what it means to be human. I feel as if a landscape in motion. One of volcanoes containing molten lava that erupt into a body of new earth on the hour. I feel stormy seas and torrential rains of tears and emotions swish me from skin to puddles in a moment's notice. I remember my breath and the song that runs as vital oxygen through my blood as I sing into an unfamiliar existence…

Why Hope?
The Star of Hope, the 17th card of the tarot has always blessed my personal journey, winking at me from time to time. It brings with it a message of reprieve, the turning of the tides from the desperate walk through the dark night. There, amidst the blackness of midnight, is a brilliant star shining its cosmic radiance and touching my naked human eye. The sparkle immediately reminds me that everything is possible, and that regardless of the challenges of the moment, there is a beyond that beckons with power…

Who Is in Control?
I am a dreamer, I always have been. My dreams are a natural conduit for conversation with the more informed aspects of myself, those that are not distracted by the everyday and mundane tasks at hand. Lately, my dreams have felt more like visions rather than personal insights. Visions of a probable future and you may want to sit down for this…

Where Are You?
In my heart for sure…thinking about everyone on this planet and beyond that I love so much that it hurts so good…You know what I mean? That love that can stretch beyond time and space, even past, present, and future. The love that tastes like the sweetest of honey or a bitter medicine that heals the deepest layers of self. The love that sparkles in the light, reflecting every facet of radiance and rainbows of glitter…

What Does It Feel Like to Take a Running Leap?
I had a dream recently like no other. I could see the horizon in front of me as a clean line of earth and sky. From deep within, I started to run at full speed towards this edge and just kept running as the edge became a cliff where the horizon quickly became sky into the ocean. All I could see was blue in all directions as I was suspended in a slow-motion mid-air flight and awakened…

Can You Change Your Mind?
After much tireless curiosity around this subject and meticulously investigating my true motivations and relationship to change, I can honestly say yes. And...it truly is the hardest, most arduous, and disciplined notion I believe a human can undergo. Changing a mind is not just making a new decision, it is diving deep into the crux of the origin of being…

Are You In Awe?
I am, completely and entirely. Something is happening to me that I have never experienced in my life. It is difficult to articulate, it is truly radical in nature, and I will do my best to see if I can find the words to describe this moment under the glow of this Pisces full moon…

What Is Self-Deception?
Feeling slightly nauseated as I write this. Perhaps I am living one of my most raw moments as a human being to date. I’ve been a seeker for as long as I can remember and I have been a teacher for 20 years. I am a deeply spiritual being and I am a completely imperfect human too. Not only imperfect, I have made many mistakes…

What Are the Lyrics to Cocoon?
Unraveling inside out, I’m shedding my old skin now. I’m breaking out of the cocoon, underneath a full moon. I’m waking up from a dream into a new reality. My mind is rearranging, aching, unsettled, cause I’ve seen things you can’t unsee. Now the rhythm of life is changing…

Who Are You Now?
I am birthing myself into a singer...of pop songs! I know, it is a wild plot twist in the story of my life yet it is such a natural form of expression for me that has been under wraps for far too long. I grew up singing solos in every school play, musical, and eventually choir from kindergarten into high school. I had a true leaning towards jazz and the blues, the kind where I felt it in my heart so deep. Later, when I got more involved in competitive sports, I moved that stamina and energy onto the slopes and onto the field. And, I forgot myself…

What Is Self-Observation?
Here is an example of what Self-Observation can look like: I am on retreat. I’ve just meditated, breathed, observed, and processed my dream from the night before. I stretch and make some tea. The whole day is ahead of me and I have a thought. Only five days left and what do you have to show for yourself? That thought is then proceeded by more commentary. You still have this chapter and this chapter and this chapter to write...

What Is Your Insight?
Right now I feel a feverish high. So much is in the air. Like sparkles in a snow globe, my life is full of things to celebrate yet you can’t quite see what is happening, momentarily. My body is a vessel for process and goodness, a process I am in. Have you ever rebirthed yourself in every area of life all at once? I thought I did this already. 5 years ago I experienced such radical upheaval that it felt like a wildfire moved through my soul, but I missed some key pieces that were unconsciously lodged inside my mind…

How Does It End?
I recently found out that my cousin lost her life to addiction. Lost her life. What is more precious than our very breath? Perhaps that which is beyond the breath, that which is greater than this physical existence...maybe, yet isn’t our life the most beautiful gift we could ever receive? And now she is gone and there are no more breaths. I am sitting here in deep reflection…

Why Does It Hurt and Does It Have To?
On the entrepreneurial journey I have learned so much and I still feel like a toddler of sorts. I may be walking but the road is a long one and I am still learning how to use many of my still-forming muscles. Everyone talks, laughs, or cries about how difficult it is, and truly, it really is…

Do You Take This Summer Solstice To Be Your Invitation?
This Summer Solstice was like no other. Surprisingly, basking in the Teton glow was not the highlight of this most brilliant day of the year. It was the coming together of two hearts ready to commit to a life of choosing each other that changed everything for me…

Is It We or Me?
I have a particular writing style, some of you may enjoy it, others have strong opinions around the ways in which I share. One friend, in particular, does not love how I write in the context of “we” in that it assumes I am speaking for both he, I and everyone else. I have thoughts on this…

Are You Enthusiastic?
Damn right I’m enthusiastic! Even, or especially, in the midst of great challenges, life is an adventure. I’ve been on a three-week road trip without my car and I’m surfing the synchronistic intraweb of life. Ok, well, maybe taking a few days off this past week has something to do with it. Amazing what some sunshine and R&R can do for you if you’ve been pushing the edge since pre-pandemic. I feel a rebirth coming on, can you feel it?

Are Psychedelics Changing the Way We Think?
Soon, traditional therapy will have a slate of offerings including poison of toad, psilocybin, and synthetic constituents such as MDMA (created to mimic nature’s sassafras) to open the heart center. In fact, many clinics are already pioneering this work underground while legislation is catching up. In other words, modern-day accessible psychotherapy is about to get much more colorful and multi-dimensional which could literally change the collective mind forever…
