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. Simple cautionary advice—don’t go out after dark, don’t talk to strangers, obey these rules so you’ll get into heaven—soon became an unquestioned way of life.

The funny thing, when you live in a societal conditioned state of fear, you don’t even realize it. I fit right in with everyone else and shared the same beliefs. (more…)

Another Boundary Set

I live at 9,660 feet in Colorado and received multiple 12”+ snowstorms in the past three weeks. I do my best to remain positive, because snow in May keeps the wildfires away. But it does take its toll on everyone after awhile.

“Oh, Crap! The World Didn’t End. Now What?”

Fear and uncertainty can impede our natural flow into joy and expansion. Once we become aware that fear is a conditioned way of being, we are empowered to make better choices within our lives. Now that we’ve walked through that fear in our global consciousness, how can we shift our world?

Over and over again
You live by the philosophy that nothing is more important than your JOY
