Transformation … this is our time … our current conditions require it.
I am delighted to be returning full-time to my services, after an extended period when I reduced my work schedule. This allowed more space & focus on my personal growth and transformation.
These personal growth periods are essential for all of us. Yet our culture is structured with demanding routines that allow little time to personally regroup and deeply refresh … when we need it most … like now.
Personal note at end of article.
We operate at our level of consciousness, personal & cultural.
Let’s look at a snapshot of our current conditions. And then look at a glimpse at the heart of it, followed by some of the principles and practices that we will illustrate in future articles.
Snapshot of Our Current Conditions.
We are navigating through a major crisis / transformation in which our world is falling apart as we know it … personally, locally & globally.
We have the capacity to do anything. Yet there are times, like now, when we need our conditions to: … get our attention … be inspired to realize where we are stuck … do the personal work required for change & transformation.
Amidst the chaos & uncertainty, we are tasked to step forward in providing the pioneering leadership for the cultural transformation that is calling all of us.
This is Your Time … This is Our Time.
Glimpse at the Heart of It … LOVE
… LOVE …
It is our life force … It is our universal language ...
It's all about our shared purpose to restore the flow of LOVE … that resonates within each of us … and the aligns all of us.
It's all inside us - hiding in plain sight.
Our mission, personally & collectively, requires employing the practices & supports for transforming the crust of intended self-protection around our hearts.
This changes everything by redirecting our focus and reigniting our empowerment … for getting unstuck … and inspiring our personal & cultural transformation.
Here are some of Principles and Practices that will be illustrated & aligned in future articles.
Clearing your Head & Calming your Emotions: deciding it is time for stepping out of the windstorm … into a space of quiet and clarity.
Expanding your Consciousness: applying practices for deepening your quiet & stillness … while softening your breathing … allowing your laser focus to naturally open … clearing the quality of your attention … opening the scope of your perceiving and understanding ...

Personal Note
I am continuing to live in a forest in Brazil for restoring my heart & soul. While working remotely, my services continue to focus on Leaders in the United States, with frequent visits there.
I enjoy my felt-sense of having a dialogue with you while writing these articles. I can actually feel our conversations which enable this information to be organized & expressed.
Our forthcoming articles will also continue to be shared through my personal experience. My focus is writing from inside the principles & practices for enabling them to come alive for you.
I realize it is time to use these articles as a space to draft the third book of my “Unwavering Heart" series. So we will be looking more deeply at our principles & practices, and the ways you can get inside & integrate them ... 1 step at a time … into the non-stop-pace of your days.
During October, I will be visiting Chicago with my strategic partners from the Firekeeper Academy. I am humming about this. We are looking forward to meeting with colleagues & clients, along with developing new relationships.
I am interested in seeing how our meetings in Chicago may influence the focus & tone of our articles.
