The Shoulders We Stand On

I've been giving some serious thought to a concept shared with me many years ago by a Native American Elder. They said, "We stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us." At the time I likened this to my upbringing that taught, "respect your elders." I did my best to honor and … Continue reading The Shoulders We Stand On

We Are Powerful

We've been sold a story. It goes something like this: you are small, you are weak, you're just one person, what difference can you make?

The main intention of … Continue reading We Are Powerful

How can any other person know more truth about me than I know myself? Ludicrous!!! And yet for so long I've held many of … Continue reading Meditation Revelation

Moving Forward

All of my life or for a big part of it anyway, I've heard about life's ebb and flow. Folks have spoken and written about phases of life in an attempt to make sense of what has happened.

Little Teachers on Being Present
