Our Constant Companion …

It could be said that we 'die' many times before our actual death ... We are growing and expanding emotionally and spiritually throughout our lives and at each incremental transition we have to say goodbye to an older version of ourselves ... a 'little death' that is often felt as a loss on some level.

Embrace the Resistance …

There is innate in each one of us a force that pushes for change because it is the path of growth, of transformation. And there also, inside each one, is the RESISTANCE to change ... the part of us that wants to stay small, stay hidden, stay invisible ... Because that is in our nature. [...]
