Welcome! …to my safe place… where I share some of my more intimate experiences of being someone committed to awakening. In all honesty, it’s not easy for me to publicly broadcast these deeper, sometimes darker, parts of myself. But I am committed to supporting others in moving from a life of surviving into a life […]
I’ve seen this word used by a lot of people. I assume most know what it means when they see it too. But I want to elaborate on what this word means to me. A creative is someone who, instead of reacting to a situation or condition in life, sees possibility in the reality. Seeds […]
Isn’t it still an amazing experience when you set off on a path to create something … you do what it takes … and it works out? Reaching the top of the mountain is a great feeling, well worth the effort! But did you ever find yourself going about your life, walking down your path, […]
I co-founded & co-directed a non-profit for teens for 9 years, here in Southern New Jersey – which gave young people a safe platform to use their creative self-expression as a way to make a positive impact in the world. This multi award-winning music video is one example of what the Changing Our World (COW) […]
I LOVE a good film or TV show, that gets me thinking or seeing things in a different light. That opens my heart, expands my mind or imagination in unexpected ways. To me, this is the best in entertainment and art. And this is how I love to coach and support artists and creatives, to […]
I tend to go in many directions in my life … between my own music, my teaching & coaching, my own personal & professional growth, and family & friends. Lately, things have been overlapping more, bringing my different worlds together. And so I thought I’d write a post about my recent music project about creating […]
I don’t mean by religion, politics or cults. I mean … are you brainwashed by your own conditioned mind? Does your own distorted thinking control the choices you make, the actions you take, the way you live? From birth through adolescence our brains exist in theta and alpha states. This means we don’t have the developmental […]
We all know that darkness is the absence of light. There’s nothing inherently wrong with darkness. Beautiful things arise out of darkness, like the seeds planted in the fertile soil, under the ground, which root and sprout and eventually blossom into luscious vegetation. Like an innocent newborn baby emerging into the world from its mother’s […]
Imagine teenagers having a safe platform to share their voices & creative self-expression – where they can freely address the issues in their lives that most concern them – exactly the way they are …. Like the experiences of prejudice, bias, stereotyping, bullying, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationships w/friends & family, self-worth, etc. This actually […]
Do you ever struggle with ‘creative block’ – better known as ‘writer’s block’? Have you let long periods of time go by where you have felt off track, unproductive, while (im)patiently waiting for a lightning strike of inspiration to hit? What if there really wasn’t any validity to the theory of writer’s block, and you could actually keep creating […]
What are your gifts? The offerings you make or give to others for which they feel grateful and appreciative. Grab something to write or type on and make a list, as long as you can, of all the qualities, aspects, talents you possess that you come by naturally. For example: Being: empathic, radically compassionate, generous, […]
