A Long, Hard Week

Posted by on Jun 21, 2017 in present moment | 8 comments

  It’s been a long, hard, emotional couple of weeks. Two weeks ago I broke a tooth. Instead of driving down to Phoenix to see my regular dentist, I opted to call a recommended dentist up here in the mountains. The price was comparable to my dentist and I wouldn’t have to drive 3 hours down into the hot as hell valley of the summer sun, I...

Greetings From the Salton Sea

Posted by on Feb 7, 2017 in abundance, awareness, mindsets, personal growth, present moment | 0 comments

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we’re powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’  Actually, who are you NOT to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is...

Circus Yoga: Learning To Fly

Community. Collaboration. The power of a group. These are some of my favorite concepts. It’s more than the idea that one hundred people working together can accomplish more than a single person. What excites me about collaboration is the energy and power of diverse people coming together with different skills, different ideas and different ways of...
