Just breathe…
Posted in Uncategorized on January 19, 2018| 9 Comments »
I’m looking out of the window to my office and I see trees with no leaves. If I didn’t know any better, I might think these trees are dead. The sun sets over the ocean and if we didn’t know any better we might think it actually goes into the ocean. A man was imprisoned some 400 years ago for suggesting the Earth isn’t the center of the universe. And we’ve all seen “water on the road” but don’t panic and slam on our brakes.
Just like these, our lives can sometimes appear to be so many things other than okay from our limited perspective. If we go deeper, we will always discover that the truth doesn’t change; that everything is indeed unfolding as it should, and we truly are okay.
The experience is similar to viewing a really, really big tapestry. Our view is often so close that we see these large hairy pieces that look scary and make no sense (not that we don’t often believe we can make sense of them). But as we back way up (or go deeper), we see that those hairy, scary pieces are woven together to form a breathtaking picture. The tapestry didn’t change. The only thing that changed was our perspective or understanding. xo
All you need is love…

Stay Weird!
Posted in Uncategorized on January 12, 2018| 5 Comments »
Being “weird” has been my life. I never fit in while in school and later, after I began having some very profound experiences that changed the way I saw everything, I became even more strange to those who didn’t feel deep questions burning within them about life (which unfortunately includes a lot of people).
Staying weird isn’t just about trying to be different just to be different. Rowing our boat in the most populated stream of life often requires us to quiet our inner voice. That voice, that inner GPS, doesn’t usually follow well trodden paths but forms new ones, and this takes courage. To muffle the whispers of my heart and to compromise my integrity so that other’s would approve, like, and include me, is a price I am not willing to pay.
Sometimes it’s necessary to pay lip-service to “normal” because not everyone is ready for us weirdos and it would be unkind to push them beyond what they are ready for. Although we might even appear “normal” on the outside our fellow weirdos recognize us and if you’re here, there’s a good chance you’re one of us. Congratulations! (Wink.) xo
Obstacles can be a good thing?
