Helping folks shift their perspective and step into their potential! Gardening, cooking, yoga, shamanism, traveling and facilitating community gatherings also make life worth living.

Can you imagine harnessing the power of your intent to make positive changes in the world? When we move away from the concept of possibility & into certainty of probability, we shift the outcome of our ideas. When we strongly hold a belief without an attachment to outcome, we manifest change. When we leave space for things to unfold, synchronicity occurs in such a way that doors will open to unimaginable outcomes. Leaving “space” refers to remaining open in the mind and heart. It means moving beyond one’s experiences, which in many cases could hold someone back through fear. Leaving space can also mean trusting and paying attention. Trusting means having the faith to be patient and wait as we prepare for what we think we are supposed to do. Life will see to it that our “direction” or life purpose comes forth as we are ready, and not a moment sooner. These collective shifts in the human perspective can move more than mountains, they can move humanity to greatness.

Jill Bolte Taylor was my introduction to TED talks & I've been hooked ever since. In 2011 I attended a TEDx event thinking I could connect with organizers to speak at a TEDx event. Before leaving the event it became apparent that organizing an event could be much more fulfilling, and here we are.
