Where to Begin
Hey everyone. The hardest thing when starting something new is where on earth to begin? My new aim in life is to help others to deal with tough times in their lives and uplift them in any way I can. So the best place to begin is to explain how I came to this idea.

Finding Your Dream
Beth was a small-town girl with a dream of becoming a singer one day. She sang in the church and school choirs and had the occasional solo but was a bit shy about her talent. Singing in church was easy for her; it was something she had done most of her life, but when she thought about performing in front of people she didn’t know, Beth would hesitate.

My Conscious Morning Routines and Rituals
The morning is probably the most important part of the day; breakfast especially, because it helps to keep us going until the afternoon when we can replenish our energy. Almost all conscious or intentional lifestyle books tell us to take notice of our surroundings and to be more aware of the decisions we make when we waking up and getting ready for the day, rather than just doing things automatically—which is actually a lot harder to do than it sounds, especially when you have to get up in a hurry to go to work.

Lighten the F%&# Up!
WHOLEHEARTED LIVING—What is it? At the beginning of the year, I resigned from my full time job to follow a passion. A passion to support people to live with less fear and less self-doubt. To be kinder and more caring. To really nurture our kids and honour and care for the aged, wise ones. To value relationships, community, and the planet.

American Tiger Lily
Growing up in California, I was taught that lilies were exotic flowers imported from far away. Any wild lilies in the area where I grew up were considered invasive and although no efforts were made at eradication, they were often treated as weeds and removed from pristine lawns and yards. After spending 25 years in Japan, I moved to Ohio and was pleasantly surprised to find bright orange wild lilies growing abundantly in many fields and roadside ditches. Eventually, I learned this species was native to North America and was widely known as the “Tiger Lilly”, thus the name of the native maiden in James Barrie’s now legendary stage play, Peter Pan.

I Moved Out at Eighteen... This Is What I've Learned
You read that right. I moved out of the house when I was eighteen. And I haven't moved back in. To be honest, I haven't stayed with my family for a time period longer than two weeks separated by five or six months. It wasn't hard to make that decision. I joined the Navy, and, so far, that decision has been made for me for the past four years. Let me answer a few questions you may have real quickly:

What if We Looked at Life as if It Was an Abstract Painting
"What the hell is this supposed to be?" "My four year old could've drawn this shit." "I don't understand this painting, it's just a bunch of random splatters and splashes of paint on a canvas and blaby blah blah."

There Is Positivity in Negativity
"To everything, there is a season, a time for every purpose under the heavens."—Ecclesiastes 3:1 Above is a photograph that I took of the same exact tree, three months apart at the beginning of 2018. I was just fascinated at how a tree looks so empty and dead at the beginning of January, begins to transform when the climate changes in the Spring.
