Money Magic: How Living Creatively Has Transformed My Outlook on Life

{To download the PDF, click here} One of my guiding missions over the last few years is the transformation of my relationship to the tool of money. I believe the symbol of money resides very near the core of the crises of our time. Because it lives deep near the root, money simultaneously becomes an opportunity with great potential, in my mind, for unlocking the latent creativity within humanity and […]

Dreaming A Life

How am I to know what to do? So many stories floating by, which one is true? Overwhelming paralysis, a deepening psychosis; The inevitable entropy of total half-heartedness.   Afraid to open and let my voice come forth; To speak from the heart and let the truth show its worth. I try to listen and calm the chatter; But the silent voice remains unheard, what does it matter?   My […]

And Here I Thought I Knew What Heartbreak Felt Like… Opening to a Space of Love

For the past week I feel like I have been carrying a mini pool of tears under my eyes, just waiting to bubble out were it not for my focused attention to withhold. Fighting back the tears until a single one escapes and rolls down my face. Barely holding them off until I get back home to my camper and feel safe to let them out. One thing I have […]

Lurking in the Shadows: An Exploration of Judgment

Do you ever notice yourself thinking thoughts or continuing behaviours that you, at other moments, wish you didn’t? Perhaps we aren’t even aware of these behavioural/thought patterns, save for the clarity of insight at other times. I wonder. Why do I think those thoughts? Why do I keep doing that? Once my awareness kicks in, perhaps through an other expressing their truth to me, or maybe an emotion I feel within, something […]

Trash Transformation Story #5 – A Mess Culture

Yesterday morning started with a crystal clear blue sky day. The sun had already begun warming the air and ground. I set out to collect the trash in the beautiful park nearby. Songbird choirs rejoiced as they found an abundant breakfast in the lagoon. After a while of collecting from the path and in some areas requiring a little bushwhacking, I switched gears into creating mode. Gathering the decaying plants […]

Nature Art Trash Transformation in Baja, Mexico

For quite some time now I have practiced living life one step at a time. In May of 2013 I left my homecity of 26 years in a camper I named Magic. I chose a direction and let the journey unfold, planning rarely more than a week in advance. The plans I did make always turned out different than I thought they would, so they were usually quite flexible. East […]

Repurposing Creativity: Making the Transition to Adulthood

As I stood on the soft, damp ground in my bare feet, I found myself immersed in the reflective and present moment experience that only an act of creativity can birth. Making what I call “Nature Art” opens me up to a level of joy that few activities are able to match. I love the process and I am unattached to the outcome. I understand Now that we are creative […]

Living in the Gift: Awakening to Creativity and Transforming Money

There is no wrong way or better way. I am not an expert at anything.Please, don’t believe what I write. It’s all just a story. Enjoy! Time as Money I like to ponder the cultural practice of attaching a numerical value to time, as a dollar amount, […]
