Authenticity

Often we think of our busy lives as a 21st century phenomenon. Yet, for people of conscience, it has long been this way, for there is always something to be done in the world.

From childhood, I was blessed to be steeped in a sense of history, the richness of culture and a spirit of giving. The hands, minds, and hearts of my extended family were never idle! They exemplified passionate living.

Thirty years of familial responsibilities left little time for me to follow my passions, or even to know what they were. But the primordial call to balance and authenticity cannot remain unanswered. As the ebb and flow of life carried me forward, I gradually surrendered, grounded by faith, inspired by the model of those who had cleared the way.

Admittedly, the commitment to heed the inner voice, indeed allow it to shout, was new for me. I had become accustomed to following my intellect instead. But I trusted the soul's guidance and was led to a comfortable place where the path toward a life of balance emerged!

I immediately got to work with a clear vision of my destination and its course. With confidence, I now release distractions and embrace activities that both support and empower the vision of my life.

Today I am part of an amazing community of advocates who support one anothers self-care strategies, rely on consistent accountability, and revel in the growth process.

In return, I offer you the same. Invest in wellness. Live to your potential.
