I’m Alive!

frantiThe lights dim, a big smile moves across my face, the band takes their places and the room is filled with the drumbeat and strumming guitars, my body bounces to the rhythm. I’m in the second row, stage right, with a perfect view. I sing along to the opening lyrics, “I’m gonna die, oooh, I’m gonna die, but it won’t, be tonight.”

No, tonight is going to be a great night. It’s only been 48 hours since I saw Michael Franti and Spearhead in a dusty campground at the Arise Music Festival, but this intimate venue at the Belly Up in Aspen feels like a private concert, and a lot has happened since then. I need this.

There is an unexpected repetitive bumping into my left hip, (more…)

To Fear or Not to Fear?

Just like you, I wasn’t born with fear. I was influenced to this unnatural state through well-intentioned authority figures that had my best interests at heart. Like others had done for them.

Nothing is More Important Than My Personal Alignment

Life is full of information as I continue to find my alignment, moment to moment.

When I was first invited to co-create and participate in a global campaign to unite and share focused love for the planet and all who live upon it during this shift, I immediately said, “Yes!” I felt a lot of excitement about the possibilities of the positive impact that would be made.

I have learned to consciously create a more positive life, one in which I have rediscovered the importance of ease and playfulness for living a happier life.  That’s what I want to help others discover, especially during this time of tremendous change. (more…)
