Honor Your Inner Pace
One of the more underrated and ignored elements of truly living the path of Love is one's inner pace in life. Whenever I find myself out of sorts or in resistance with what is being presented to me in the world, I consistently find I am out of alignment with the natural pace my human character is scripted for. By one's life pace, I am referring to the internal speed in which I engage, process, function, act, think, and in general, deal with the ebb and flow of daily life. I s
The Infinite Grace of Love
For years I have been an avid student of sacred texts from many, many sources. It is always a delight to absorb the deliciously unique metaphors and stories that are used to describe the divinity of our human experience.

Community Focused Love
I have been a devoted advocate and student of Love for nearly 25 years. During that time I have seen enormous shifts in the collective consciousness of the world. Without question, the openness to bolder dialogues about Love has penetrated all segments of society. The compartmentalization of Love is fading away.
