Do you ever find yourself just wanting to be angry?  Not wanting to let it go, clinging to the perceived offense?

Yeah, me too.

8.1 Billion humans share 99.9% of the same DNA. Shifting from a “me” way of thinking to a “we” mindset.

As I write this, here in the US we have started Mental Health Awareness Month - observed during the month of May each year.

Even if you feel ok right now, please keep reading. Someone you know is struggling, I am sure!

In this blog I continue the exploration on how to apologize and the importance of the words we use.

Not my best self

During the holiday season this year I found myself repeating a behavior that is not one of which I am proud. We all have them - habits of thought or actions that we are not proud of at all. I won’t share the whole story here as the details aren’t important -

Mushrooms and fungi do it. Trees and plants do it. Bees do it. Horses, wolves, elephants, whales and so many more animals do it. What is “it"? “It” is not only surviving but actually thriving when part of a community. We now know that so much of the natural world has evolved to work together in relationships…

Embracing liminal spaces.
