It is fitting that my focus on this […]
Personal Apocalypse Recently I have been enjoying asking people how their overall experience of life has been during 2013. It is truly amazing to hear about the incredible diversity of experience available within such a small area on this enormous planet of potential. Lately, I often hear of an overall increase in life’s ‘intensity’ expressed back to me. This is a very common theme I observe and also personally […]
Embracing the Power of Intention A Bout With Intent About a week ago my entire perspective on life changed when I made a major life decision.

Top Five Community Event Creation Tips I am inspired when I witness the increasing courage among individuals as they take a leap of faith by making themselves vulnerable in an act of devotion to their truest self expression. It is the moment you decide to do what you love. The moment you share your truth. The moment you let go of figuring out how life will work out and trust […]
Ripples of Effect “How wonderful that no one need wait a single moment to improve the world.” – Anne Frank A question that I often ask myself is, “how can I make the biggest difference in the world?” The magnitude of change required now to steer humanity back onto the path of natural balance is calling forth each of our individual gifts. Indeed, the steps required to repair our home […]
Emerging Earth There is a shift occurring in my home city that I believe is reflecting a larger shift occurring on the whole planet. Each day brings forth more signs that a growing number of people are seeking change. This past week alone I have received invitations to, or heard of, a half dozen meetings taking place to discuss the immense task of changing many of the structures that […]
