We live in a society and a world where it’s very normal to be frantic, full of anxiety, and generally just overwhelmed and exhausted. Not only is it normal, it’s expected and glorified.

To have more, we must achieve more, and to achieve more, we must do more, and to do more, we must say yes to more, and when say yes to more, we’re always just so damn FULL. Our systems are overloaded.

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself, “WHY?”

Meditating on death can show us how to release and let go when it’s time. Death is the end of the life cycle, but it is also the beginning of another. When we observe and align to life cycles — both internal and external — we become more attuned to ourselves and our true desires for living.

Friction creates the necessary, but often difficult, path for growth.

I’m an imposter. 

It has taken me decades to admit that. But this admission and the work to embrace it have set me free. As with anything lurking in the shadows of our identity, embracing it is how I’m becoming whole.

“What am I supposed to do with my life.” I remember this question surrounding everyone. The pressure was immense. It felt like the answer to that one question would define my existence.
