TO LEAD WITH LOVE
We all are seeking our own definition of safety No one I know does well with scarcity We share a common need for national security And we yearn for profound international solidarity And deep connections within our community These past few months have created this ….temporarily At 7pm each night we have joined together in […]
When we leave the present moment, our bodies minds and souls we vacate. No one home to advocate for our our precious internal real estate. We allow vagrant thoughts and energies to infiltrate. It is a way of abandoning our own territory. Becoming our own bodies expatriate. The fullness of our experiences we will truncate. Our […]
I am busy you say… Assuming the victim stance, Or the self importance glance. Saying its all about the finance. Needing to somehow self enhance. There is no room for magic-no place for perchance! Definitely no space or time for modern dance! Where is the time for Romance? A trip to The Tuscan hills or Paris […]
Type A behaviour was my addiction. I survived on a high level of adrenalin and internal friction. Over- doing was my number one affliction Incessant pushing created tension And greater personal restriction.

A new paradigm, we must entertain. Before we ravage like a hurricane Or take down with a ball and chain Our own internal Charlemagne. […]
I am captivated by the concept of “allow” It seems quite fitting somehow as the last decade takes a bow. Its not about resolution, intention or even a vow rather to be at peace with what is happening right now. Replace the loud barking of should bow wow. With the gentle nudge of allowing -soft […]
What’s the deal with wanting it all? Why this myth do our minds enthral? The mirage we pursue as a big windfall. Having no sense of its impending downfall. Succumbing to live in the urban sprawl, We push, we fight, we play hardball In spring, summer, winter and even fall. When we begin to falter, […]
I have recently begun a new morning ritual. Cold water dipping. Not swimming. Dipping. I was inspired by a friend of mine. Lynda Raino. I saw her one day and asked what was new. She proudly-rightfully so-exclaimed that she was cold water dipping. I, of course inquired what exactly “cold water dipping” entailed. She told […]
