What Loss Has Taught Me About Presence
The more that falls away, the more clearly we see what matters, and the fewer distractions we have from what’s right in front of us. You don’t have to wait to be present. You can simply practice shifting your focus today. Spend a few minutes more each day than the day before to be here now.

The Antidote to Overconsumption
Today, we’ll reflect on the antidote to overconsumption, which is to find your center.
Ponder the following:
Notice the sensation of consuming. Am I chasing a feeling?
Consider what you’re consuming. Where did it come from? Whose hands made it?
Will having this create the effect I’m hoping for? Is this where I want to put my time, energy, and money?
What and who matters most to me?

The Spirit of Aloha
I just got back from the beautiful Island of Hawaiʻi, a place very close to my heart and my work. In the mid 90’s, I taught workshops here built on the theory of Aloha. We’d root into flow, transformation, and healing through the spirit of Aloha on the Big Island with its active volcano, Kilauea, where Pele, the fire goddess, lives.
Aloha means the presence (alo) of breath (ha). Aloha is the breath of life. In Hawaiian culture, the spirit of Aloha means to live in the presence of the breath—in unity, kindness, humility, and peace. The Aloha Spirit Law was enacted in Hawaii in 1986 to encourage officials and citizens to act with this spirit.

Peace Begins with Acceptance

There is very little in life we can control. When we surrender, we release the weight of what was never ours to carry.
