We wake up each day to the adventure of seeing what the day has in store for us, wondering what awaits. Unless we are bound to a daily schedule, a monthly regimen, a sacred yearly routine we call “going to work.” In which case, we have to live around our obligations, duties, requirements, looking forwardContinue reading “February 08, 2026”

We belong to the time and place of our living. We are not here on vacation. We have duties and obligations in line with bringing ourselves forth, being who we are and doing what is ours to do here, now in each/every situation as it arises. What needs to be done?

Living from the inside out is done by dropping into the silence and waiting for clarity regarding what’s what, what’s happening, what’s called for, when, where and how and taking our body’s lead from there. It is called “Getting out of our head and into our body.” Not allowing what we want/desire/fear/dread enter into theContinue reading “January 31, 2026”
