6 Books To Inspire Your Next Leap

“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question.

Opening up to welcome in the world

I consider privacy to be a favorite luxury.  I currently enjoy a life of independence, a supporting role behind the scenes, a hermitage of clandestine study.  I love this life.  I love the attention I can give to reading, sleeping, meditating, writing, and walking my dog.  I love the relationship I have cultivated with myself.

Pop quiz: When is the best time to schedule a healing? a). When feeling sick b). When feeling stressed c). When feeling awesome d). None of the above e). All of the above   I arrived to my most recent acupuncture appointment feeling awesome.  I’ve been working with my healer for months, and we had gotten my body into balance to a point where time had passed and I didn’t feel dependant on our sessions.  I felt great, free of needing an appointment.  I almost cancelled my next scheduled date,...
