What we take to be real is that which we believe is true in our world.  It’s the paint that we apply on our canvas, the clay we mold with, what we identify with.  Often they are identity, I am, statements.  I’m not good at that.  I am tired.  Say it often and you lend [...]

You find yourself on a street you’ve never
walked, in the town you grew up in
and came back to. The street is a ribbon
on a gift you’ve never opened. You walk the street
and a waft of jasmine fills you, a white cat
crosses your path, and from an open window
you hear the sound of a violin. Garlic

We celebrate freedom from Great Britain today – yet wherever we live, whoever we are, no matter our circumstances we possess an inner freedom that can never be taken from any of us.  And that freedom is the freedom to choose who we are and how we show up in this world.  Nick Vujicic speaks [...]

I’m not going to talk about commitment in quite the way you

of commitment, an unwitting or unconscious commitment.
I took a look at what I was committing to after being inspired

Affirm: I forgive myself and I set myself free.
Heavy dependence upon anything outside myself is addiction.
I can be addicted to drugs and alcohol, to sex and tobacco; and
I can also be addicted to blaming people or judging people, to
illness, to debt, to being a victim, to being rejected. Yet, I can move
beyond these things. Being [...]
