Create the Life You Desire
I suppose every writer wants to change the world somehow, even if just a tiny bit. In this category you’ll find articles that explore ways to create social change, evolve social norms, and hopefully shift the collective consciousness ever so slightly.
This blog is often about personal development, but everything is connected. If I improve myself, I create an impact on the world around me. Sometimes it’s minor, other times my choices can have substantial consequences.
I’m not a political activist, at least not at this point in my life. If someone feels like that is their purpose in life, then they can follow that path. I’m more of a psychoanalyst when it comes to the collective consciousness. I suspect that changing the world begins by changing myself. Our social and cultural experiences on this planet are the sum of every individual’s actions and mindset.
If we evolve, the world evolves. That’s one of the reasons I’m so drawn to conscious growth.
I’d love for it to be a safe place where all our needs are met and we are free to love and create far beyond our wildest dreams. I don’t know how to do that in one fell swoop, so through writing I’m chiseling away at the collective consciousness word by word. I don’t even know if there will be any visible effect on social norms in my lifetime, but it’s worth a try. Thank you for reading.

What I said was “before you tell a woman she’s overreacting, keep in mind that her capacity to feel is … Read more
A powerful synchronicity happened yesterday. I had a coaching session with the amazing Jessica Summers. What emerged from the session was how hiding myself and filtering my self expression might actually be the reason that I struggle to have the kind of financial outcomes that I want in life. My own social conditioning is sabotaging … Read more
A few weeks ago when this strange time of pausing descended upon humanity, my dream world became more vivid than it’s ever been. Sleep became like boot camp in the content of my subconscious mind. This inspired my work on dream weaving, but also generated a lot of other insights and curiosities for me to … Read more
What will emerge this month during the 30 Day Writing Challenge? Oh the potential! Where will I venture? What will I document, explore, revisit, expand? I feel dreadfully excited but it doesn’t show on the surface, subdued by this sore throat thing that my body is fighting. The good side is that being under the … Read more
The greatest threat to our freedom is so close to us we often miss it. Picture yourself fast asleep. Someone is asking you to wake up, but you are deep in a dream, and the call to awaken is experienced as a vague awareness that something is not quite right. We are in that dream, … Read more
“something as simple as a hat can be profoundly and profanely illuminating, if you know how to read the signs” – Avery Gordon* This quote was scribbled into a notebook of mine from nearly 20 years ago. The words always intrigued me, and over the years they would haunt my thoughts, reappearing unexpectedly in moments … Read more
