Life is not a race with self, or a race with others. It is simply a process & flow with deep internal work. Performance Enhancement can come from within, while supporting ourselves with healthy people, activities and outlets outside of ourselves. Comparison is the thief of joy; but looking to others to feel inspired, motivated and encouraged to forge ahead can be wholesome at times. Tune into your own unique Tone. This is your journey.

Mirroring and reflecting through looking into our Mirrors of Life both literally & figuratively can be viewed as arrogant, vain & self absorbed; yet conversely, can be an expression of taking stock, assessing personal growth & evolution, and being responsible & accountable for the behaviours that we model on a daily basis.

Despite collective fear, we can still learn to recognize with authenticity what Love and Fear - feel like, sound like, look like and taste like - as long as we...

Like the phases of the moon, and the planting of a seed, Mother Nature teaches us that all of life - including our natural world and human nature - is a mix of both light & shadow, light & dark, shades of grey and many colours in between. From the light moments we may win, but from the dark moments we don't fail, we simply learn & transform. The darkness may be uncomfortable but it is in those dark, deep & challenging times that we truly grow and learn to face who we are, reveali...
