monthly round up: october was…gripping, generous + golden
: spiritual salve for worrywarts. There’s pain all around us. It’s tempting to fret, pace, yank your hair…and worry yourself into the ground. But it’s not pro-active. So refuse to do it. TRANSFORM ANXIETY INTO ACTION, and be helpful, instead of harrowed. : transparency as a teaching tool. As Malcolm Gladwell says, “Authenticity is the...
one of the most powerful questions, ever
“What’s dying to be born?” Lianne said to some of us women over mint tea earlier this year. Kelly. Ronna. Gwen. Lee-Anne. We nodded, quietly, taking it into our hearts. It was a lot to take it. This question wouldn’t leave Lianne alone. (What question won’t leave you alone?) Until she knew she had to...
self hatred: beneath sugar-coated criticism + self improvement
Self hatred. Could there be a heavier, shame-soaked, cringe-inducing concept? Hating yourself. Hatred. Hate of self. You hating…you. Park that thought for a minute. You’re self-referencing.

Soul Without Shame, Byron Brown
a deeply personal approach to compassion that stopped me in my tracks. I totally reconsidered how I “talk” to myself.
what is your relationship to…life?
I’m not sure there is a bigger question than this. It bears repeating: what…is…your relationship to life? I was in Kauai in the fall and read Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth between beaches. And this question of his became my walking, rambling, meditation. “What is my relationship…to LIFE?!” Daunting. Spectacular. Galvanizing. Perhaps my favourite question...
it’s ALL about freedom
“Hypothetically, people worry about everyone being selfishly oriented. “If everyone did exactly what they want to do, what kind of world would this be?” And we say, a really, really good one. Because if everyone did what they wanted to do, everyone would feel free. And if you feel free, you feel empowered. And every...
