You Are EVOLVING- Do You Get It?
This chief aim of this work is to transform your life! We want you to have the love, happiness, peace, creativity and resiliency that is naturally yours.
We are in the midst of a spiritual revolution. How you pursue your journey of evolution is up to you. There are many paths home to your luminous soul. What is important is that you consciously CHOOSE to evolve. This gives you back your power and gives you resiliency to ride the waves of evolution sweeping across the planet. Coming home to yourself requires opening yourself to new worlds and ways of thinking. It means examining your thoughts and beliefs and releasing the ones that do not serve your well-being. It means healing the wounds of childhood and those pre-modern, outworn survival skills inherited from our ancestors. While still honoring the immense legacy that we have inherited.
It requires that we fiercely and lovingly face down our demons and look squarely into our shadow, and in doing so, reclaim our power, freedom, joy and happiness. Paradoxically, we must also surrender to the natural flow that is Life- trusting the natural benevolence of the Universe. And, in doing so, allow life and events to unfold in the timing that is optimal for our growth and evolution.
“There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.”
~ Louis L’Amour
The world opens up more and more as we move layer-by-layer and step-by-step along the Spiral Dance. Old belief systems are discarded or folded into more expanded ones. Our sense of our place in the world and cosmos changes. We change. Our outlook changes, our sense of purpose awakens anew and synchronicity increases. We feel more peace, we open new vistas of perception and we continue to walk in and transcend both the shadow and the light- understanding that Life requires death and rebirth; the luminous light of love; and, the dark mysteries of creation and destruction.
We awaken to our multi-dimensional nature and begin to recognize that we are both individuals and part of a vast organism that is HUMANITY… one living, breathing life-form that is a part of the life-form that is earth, that is a part of the life-form that is our solar system, that is a part of the life-form that is the Milky Way Galaxy, that is a part of…
And, we continue to live, have relationships, run late and get stuck in traffic. The spiral of Being and Becoming is never-ending. Evolution is always evolving. Change is inevitable. Why not take the bull by the horns and ride that baby!
If you could do just one thing today, no matter how small that would give you the greatest leverage towards well-being and freedom, what would you do?
What will you do?

This is Our Moment!
Moving beyond change to transformation…
We are living in a moment of extraordinary change. Things seem to be falling apart all over the place and we are uncertain how or when it will come back together again. For those of us who have honed the skills of resilience, steadiness and deep inner reserves this is our moment. THIS IS YOUR MOMENT! When things fall apart, we can affect real change –> transformation. Far beyond change, in metaphor change would be like moving the living room furniture around, while transformation would be ripping up the floor, moving the walls and adding windows for a more expansive view. Like any major home renovation, this much change (transformation) can be more than a little unsettling. This is where we find ourselves as Americans and as global citizens. This is our moment.
We have been living with the same furniture, in the same spots for a long time. Sure, it worked great for many and for many others it has not been comfortable at all. Even though the sofa may be on the other side of the table from the chair, they both inhabit the same room. I may live in Houston and you in Hong Kong, but we inhabit the same world. Now, in the midst of the ripped out floor of our economy, climate change, population growth etc., we get to decide… change or transformation. Tapping our inner reserves to steady ourselves, to calm our nerves, let’s think clearly:
- How can you use this opportunity to transform your life, business, career, community, the world?
- What are the personal habits and mind-sets that will serve you well now?
- Who are your allies, those people who are ready to ride the wave to greater love, joy and happiness?
- If everything is up for change, what would you really like to change about your life right now?
- What are you willing to let go of… to be open to?
Consider these questions. Then set about nurturing the habits, choices, goals and mind-sets that will enable you to transform our world!
“Every few hundred years in Western society there occurs a sharp transformation. Within a few short decades, society rearranges itself… We are currently living through such a transformation.”
– Peter Drucker
