I’m rebuilding. But this time it’s different. This time I’m building a home within me first. I’ve already tore down the framework, pulled up the floorboards, and thrown out the trash. But this time I’m not looking outside myself for anything to start again. I’m not asking anything of anyone but myself. This time I’m […]
Hold the line. When the world feels like a sea of quicksand, grabbing at your ankles and trying to pull you down. Be still and wait. Wait for the hope that’s already rising inside. Hold the line. When it seems like everyone is giving in and giving up. Remember the truth, that even these mountains […]
It isnt enough, they say. It isnt enough to live on love. It isn’t enough to feast on wonder and build with dreams. It isn’t enough to move with your soul and breathe with your heart – but we know it’s not merely enough. It’s the source of everything. It won’t work, they say. You […]
It is time. It’s time to rise. It’s time to step up, to step out, to step into our truth, our power, our missions, our might. Now is the time to offer support, protection, and encouragement. Now, as the world is awakening and so many people are shaking off the last remnants of sleep. Now […]
This is our war cry! May it echo across countless years. May it rumble through forests and course through cities, reverberate across valleys and sing off mountain peaks.

I know how it feels to look at the world and see it struggle, and I understand what it means to touch the earth and feel her pain. I too have trembled at the sight of the weapons and wars, the hunger, the hurt, the fear, and the frenzy. I know what it’s like to […]
Sometimes the things that can’t be seen are those with the greatest power. Just like the wind is far more than the occasional rustle of a leaf; our thoughts, dreams, and fears are far more than the occasional image passing through our skulls. Though cleverly cloaked in invisibility, they are made up of raw energy […]
You, my dear, are a creator – and you are perpetually in the throes of artistic design. Even now, as you read these words, you are crafting a masterpiece of such proportions that it will take an entire lifetime to complete. Your every inhale is like the whisper of a pen over paper. Your every […]
We are natural-born creators, the architects of our lives and the sculptors of our shared reality. We’re born into this realm with a personal toolkit that allows us to alter our world from the inside out. In this toolkit we have a physical body that can build, a mind with which to invent, and a […]
