Life is a series of moments strung together. From the big picture looking in, it’s a beautiful melody, like a warm riff from a guitar. Segmented up into snippets of one note here, another note there, and you feel a harshness; the absence of fluidity.
But that’s the challenge life offers us. The whole game and […]

When something bothers you, pay attention.
Despite the fact that you’ll likely have great aversion to whatever the “bother” is, pay attention anyway. Your reaction carries a thread of awareness straight from your heart.
I remember one time I was travelling with a colleague. We were on a long haul home from Europe and when we landed he […]

It was the middle of a conditioning and balance class at the gym when my instructor uttered these words. They hit me, right in the chest. Such profound truth and wisdom.

“Acting with deep compassion from within my own being, I dispel all ignorance-born darkness with wisdom’s resplendent light. ” – Bhagavad Gita
The word courage is rooted in the Latin cor, meaning heart. Has anyone ever said to you, “just follow your heart”? It’s a nicety to think that it’s just that easy, but if you’ve […]

As business owners, entrepreneurs, and service providers it’s crucial that we give contemplation to whom we are best suited to serve. Without clarity on this, what many would call your ideal client profile, we leak energy by missing the mark, whether it be ever so slightly or all together. We spend time convincing people of […]
