“Go Child, Go Out Into The World”

“Go Child, Go Out Into The World”

“Go Child, Go Out Into the World” is a line from La’Shelle Allen’s incredible song, Baba’s Song, sung at a Labor Day concert produced by Lee. It was electrifying to hear her message of personal empowerment accompanied by Lee Carroll’s C The Beat Big Music band. As she said, “Spread the message of peace and […]

The Value Of Focusing On Your Purpose

The Value Of Focusing On Your Purpose

What happens when you focus on your purpose? I have been humbled noticing it with those around me. The Tibetan Buddhist Monks from Tashi Kyil Monastery in India stayed with us when they were here conducting workshops. We also attended a ceremony conducted by the Institute of Whole Life Healing to welcome a King from […]

What’s Your Instinctive Reaction? Fear or Love?

What’s Your Instinctive Reaction? Fear or Love?

What’s your instinctive response to people and situations – fear or love? Each create judgement and actions that send you on divergent paths. Know yours to determine if it takes you where you want to go or if change is needed.   This came to me after I made a post about a puppy needing […]

Unite Your Inner And Outer World And See What Happens!

Unite Your Inner And Outer World And See What Happens!

What happens when you unite your inner and outer world? When I drew The World tarot card recently, I realized that this change has become fully realized for me, as that card epitomizes the unity and wholeness of bringing your inner and outer self together.

We’re More Alike Than Different

We’re More Alike Than Different

The idea that we’re more alike than different is central to our non-profit, GreenRoom Exchange. We seek to counter the divisiveness that provokes conflict. We’ve been hosting musicians and dancers from different countries for years, most recently sponsoring Gideon Alorwoyie’s Afrikania from Ghana for 6 days of events and workshops. As always, it was an […]

How Recognition And Gratitude Go Hand In Hand

How Recognition And Gratitude Go Hand In Hand

Getting recognition for the work of our non-profit, GreenRoom Exchange, left us both surprised and full of gratitude. We had an array of reactions, from wow, did this really happen, to wow, we did it, to wow we have many people to recognize in gratitude. I realized recognition and gratitude go hand in hand, one […]

What Happens When You Feed Your Heart And Soul

What Happens When You Feed Your Heart And Soul

I’ve had Covid for the last 5 days and have been laid out from work. I’ve been as sick as I’ve ever been. So, I’m recycling this blog with a few additions because it’s actually relevant. Being sick and being taken care of by the ever wonderful Lee has shown me some things about the importance […]

ENGAGEMENT – The Virtue Of Being In The Flow – Connecting – Be Present

ENGAGEMENT – The Virtue Of Being In The Flow – Connecting – Be Present

Engagement can be best described as being in the flow, connecting, and being present. These were the qualities we noticed in our guest pianist, Leo Genovese. He gave one of the most extraordinary, transcendent concerts we have ever heard; we were left speechless by his excellence. But the qualities that really impressed us were how […]

Wait…

Wait…

We’ve been teaching Bodhi to WAIT. It’s become a necessity. In his excitement to greet people he knows (like me) he’s run across Richmond Rd in rush hour traffic and bounds too exuberantly when he sees friends. He’s starting to get it, looking both ways for traffic when we cross a street and being a […]

Balance – Means Enjoy Yourself

Balance – Means Enjoy Yourself

Maintaining balance between what you do and how you relax – your work and your fun – is an admirable goal. Don’t forget that life is supposed to be fun, interesting, expansive, even joyous! Staying stressed, anxious, worried, overcommitted and overwhelmed is a constant state for many and it’s very bad for you. You know […]
