When we venture into new projects, and things don’t go our way; when we want something so badly, and it’s not happening; when things get taken away from us, when the rug pulls out from under our feet so to speak, it can all feel very disempowering.

Yes, love has this magical power, and as I write this, I can't h...

We all have events from our younger years that deeply marked us - something that sparked joy in us but somehow got marked by sorrow, so we “decided” that it was only linked to childhood and that we’d need to drop it once adult.

So often our biggest gifts lie into what we think is our biggest curse. When we’re young, we are criticized and shamed for things that come naturally to us but are deemed unreasonable or unimportant by society, our caregivers, our peers. And we begin to push away this aspect of us, until we’ve grown as adults with fully repressed sides of ourselves. But deep down, we know there’s something within...
