Being Alive is Hard, be Gentle with Yourself

We're often much harder on ourselves than we are on other people. Think about how you speak to yourself, and what you expect from your own performance in life, at work, with friends, colleagues and loved ones.

Are We Owning and Honouring Our Holy Sh!t in This Life?

Holy Sh!t is the holy work we do in this life to become aware of and shift the blocks held in the body that interfere with our ability to connect to Beloved Presence and live from the fullness of love and inclusion.

The Truth About the Cynic

The great irony is that the cynics need the visionaries more than anyone. Their fire is out and they're desperately looking for a source to rekindle. There is a twisted excitement to tearing down others, especially when you're part of a group; but it is smoke and embers compared to the fire of a visionary passion. The cynic has forgotten, or lost the connection and it's too scary to try and be a creator now. Now they'd rather piss on you and deny ever having a fire in the first place.
