How will you vote in every moment?
One of the most crucial resources I have is to remember, in each moment, that I have a vote. There are many things over which I have no agency. Yet! Insofar as I am dancing with this moment, I can bring all the forces of who I am to bear. I can lean in and vote to direct the flow around me. It is possible to tilt the odds toward the world and the values we each find beautiful and hold dear! It is possible to be a yes. (A little bit like acupuncture!)
It’s possible to choose the direction of flow of my attention and all manner of things which affect state of being in every instance. And so - why the picture of the bridge? I witnessed something extraordinary happen on this New Zealand bridge that is a constant reminder to me that there are powerful choices to be made, mobilizing unseen forces, that do shape our reality.
A bridge is a channel which directs the flow, not only of traffic but also of intent. To cross a bridge is an act of faith. In a sense, you are trusting the bridge to be safe and sound. Building a bridge is an act of intent, of power, mastery, and beauty. Bridges bring worlds together. At any moment, you can choose to stop when crossing a bridge and take in the earth, the sky, the water. Look directly at where you have been, where your path is leading. Turn around, get off that bridge, or carry on. Every moment is your choice.
“...Point to kindness and strength ... start with you at home and start with your local community and start with the networks that you do have and what you can do, and not over attend to what you can’t do... If you can play the piano well, you are better playing the piano every day. If you can give a good speech give a good speech. If you can build a nice kite for a kid, do it.
It’s not healthy to dwell where you have no power. And if in a certain area in any given time in history you are powerless in the face of something, your best ability to survive and withstand it and move forward is to still focus on the power that you have, whatever it is, however minimal it is, use it, do it. Do it in front of people. Model empowerment and being powerful for everybody around you, and do it confidently, even if it doesn’t prevail at any given time. This is what I stand for, this is what I have always stood for, and this is the time to stand for it.”
Wayfarer...
In the case of this cinematographer turned web designer, I have come upon a person who is a treasure. His story is remarkable, the quality of his work and his range of skills brilliant and exquisite. His unusual life growing up and working in many cultures of the world, as well as his personal story that took him to death’s door and back, make Corey a special person to know and work with. Depth and dimension like this is rare to find, and that’s why I am writing about it and promoting him.

You have allies
Who we listen to, do not listen to, and who we choose to have around us is another important way to vote. On this Resource Page, I share from my own trove of experience as well as introduce others whom I trust in the fields of health, energetics, and natural medicine. Below you can find out more about some of the remarkable people I have met along the way. New guests will regularly be featured whose contributions may be relevant at this time.
