Ten Teachings From My Dad I often sense the impression that a quest for inner truth and personal growth is taken to reflect mistakes made during youth. I want to make it clear that this is in no way the case and that I harbor no resentment or hard feelings when I look back on my childhood. In fact, I have nothing but fond memories of that time of my […]
Follow Your Heart This piece I have written could be somewhat considered a goodbye letter. I am leaving tomorrow until December 14th to follow the path I am being called along at this present time in my life. Until today, I have only told one person I am going on this trip. I’m not entirely sure why I chose to keep this to myself, perhaps it was partly out […]
***** The Paradox of Our Age We have bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less healthiness; We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour. We built more computers to hold more information to […]
Spontaneous Gifting More for you is more for me. This is one of the fundamental principles of a gifting economy. It embodies the recognition of our interconnection and oneness with all other beings. If I have more than I need, I am happy to give to you in your time of need, trusting that the abundance of this world will return to me when I am in need. Letting go […]
Tribal Convergence To my coastal tribe; Thank you. As I write these words – these symbols with multiple meanings – I sit in my heart and breathe into my feeling of connection, with the intention of that feeling resonating within you. I invite you, as you read these words, to also sit in your heart and to feel the space between the letters. It is essential now that we all […]
Give Yourself Permission Part One Last June I found myself being drawn to experience what it was like to fast for an extended period of time. Over the course of the two days of juicing and the seven days of only water, I remembered some incredible insights about my relationship with my body. I say ‘remembered’ because I believe that all we are really doing in this life is remembering, […]
Fasting Experience Day 4 Part of the reason I was so intrigued with the idea of personally fasting was because I was hearing such differing extremes of opinions from people before I started. I have heard people say that it was the worst thing I could do to my body and I heard people say that it was the best thing I could do for my body. The interesting thing […]
A few weeks ago I read a book titled “The Transformational Power of Fasting” by Stephen Buhner. The thread of ideas he wove around the tool of fasting were extremely thought provoking. The material presented can be confrontational to many people as it touches a deeply rooted relationship within us: our relationship with food. In an effort to dive within to uncover the essence of my connection with food, I […]
I was hit with another spark of inspiration today that I decided to use in order to plow through my fears of doing this podcast. I apologize for the background wind noise – I will try to be in a quiet place next time but there is no way to plan for sudden inspiration 😉 This next free flow (no planning) session I recorded on Wednesday, May 23rd is about biking, privacy, […]
Shout it out…let it ring. Say what you got to say, or better yet sing. Shout it out…let it rise. You’re never going to wake up unless you open those eyes. Movement underground is what makes the earth shake so much, Movin’ around is gonna cause an earthquake. You may never know it if you’re just living on the surface, You gotta get your hands dirty, You gotta dig for your purpose. Not […]
