Pearls of wisdom I receive by going within and asking.

Authenticity

Worrying about what other people think of me is a waste of time and truly none of my business. I can never know what is going on in the mind of another. What anyone thinks of me is filtered through a lifetime of their conditioning of which, I have no control over. When I let go of the desire to please or control what another thinks, and act from a place of authenticity, I please my inner self and that is my business. When I can trust myself to be authentic, others can trust me.

About Me

Sausalito, California, United States
My purpose and vision is to live an authentically responsible life in alignment with my True Self, joyfully expressing my creative nature, nurturing and fostering a heart alive with wonder and awe. Meditation, tai chi, self-inquiry, reflection, therapy, and an extensive reading of Western psychology and Eastern spirituality, have helped me to develop a serious commitment to living in the moment in peace and joy. Through my persistent questioning regarding troublesome aspects of my own life, I have cultivated effective techniques to guide myself in learning how to recognize, examine and transform the beliefs I hold that cause suffering in my life. Love, gratitude, and surrender to what is, is the key to living a life in flow.
