Resistance never works. And, it is human nature to resist. We want what we want, period the end.

We throw tantrums, usually internally, and make […]

Staying calm, staying in touch with a higher level of energy, this is where there is safety.  It is not in doing, it is not in accomplishment, it is not in having everything done and perfect, it is not wearing, doing or looking the right way. There is no right way; there is just being […]
