I choose to support the positive aspects of the human character. My passion is helping my fellow humans do the same.
The world is changing fast. In the midst of hatred, fear, and violence though, is also kindness, generosity, and courage.
Mission
My perspective on stuff
Everything seeks to return to balance. That’s the natural way of things. When we act to restore balance, the universe restores us.
You are unique in all the world. You are taking action to understand how you came to be out of balance, to heal, and to grow into your whole and healthy self. I am here as a touchstone, to help you do just that.
There is much to be done. You and I are not alone, there are allies everywhere.
