Your secret suspicion that you are here for something magnificent is true. You are here to contribute to the unfolding of the magnificence of creation, to contribute to more life and more beauty in the world. And when I say magnificent, it doesn't necessarily mean famous or successful in the outward sense, but something magnificent to you, somethin... See more
When you find yourself blurting out questions you've never asked before, questions that provoke you and possibly even scare you, be thankful.

I believe we realize our full potential in this now moment by embodying the energetic space of true openness and presence. Our gifts come through via the energy we transmit when we dance in wakeful awareness, open our being to the divine and let the river of life through us. When we’re in that state, we’ve done our portion of the work: we’ve create... See more
