I wanted to share about a dream I had recently. I was reconnecting with an old and very dear friend of mine. As we hugged, I could sense the layers upon layers of hardness that her body, and her being had developed around her. She was struggling with relationship, with deeper connection, with intimacy….

We tend to think pain is a problem. In our collective belief, pain is a disease we must eradicate, find a cure for. Pain is undoubtedly uncomfortable.

I’ve pulled the Wheel of Fortune twice this week and so I thought today is a good day to break it down. Fate. Luck. Destiny. When we like the results, this is what we call it. Misfortune. Bad luck. Curse. When we don’t like the results, this is what we call it….

I want to talk about a dream I had last night. It was particularly powerful because it was a perfect example of my own deep healing and evolution in action. In the dream I was in conversation with a man I didn’t know. He was a stranger. And in our conversation and in…
