Over our lifetime we’re in a consistent state of learning and evolving, constantly growing in ways that mature and heal us, or at the least, that is the possibility. Our life’s purpose isn’t about being well-known, well-connected, or wealthy, I think there’s much more...

I’m assuming that, like me, you’re interested in this weird human experience, in unpacking the dimensions of your mind and working hard to create a loving relationship with yourself so that you can find ways to be loving and open with others. Perfection is an...
