“The universe is being healed. Don’t you want to be a part of the dance?”—Rob Bell I’m often asked about my possibility posses. How do you start one? What do you do? Because I’m allergic to rules and steps and how-to’s, it’s hard to give a definitive answer. But I can say this. Every human […]

“We are players, actors on many stages. We yearn to wonder, we long to be amazed, to be enthusiastic, to be expressive. In short to be alive. Creativity keeps us creating the life we wish to live.” Matthew Fox Although the term “fake news” is nearly as popular as Despacito, it recently hit me that […]

“Turn your light on for those with no vision.”–Pharrell Williams I used to ADORE a good protest! I marched against war, against guns, against racism.

“Rule your mind or it will rule you.”― Horace My Course in Miracles lesson a couple days ago was, “I rule my mind, which I alone must rule.” Each of us is in charge of the kingdom of our minds. Right now, there are a lot of crazy people circling the kingdom walls shouting “the […]
