It is about the inner shifts, awakenings, and quiet truths that rise up when we let ourselves be present to what the road is teaching us.

Eleven Eleven and The Luck Practice
On 11/11, I recorded this minisode and streamed it live to Facebook.

Unluckily, my dear teammates in the Phillipines are dealing with a Typhoon, no water or electricity, and thank God all are okay now, but this ...

As I looked at myself in the mirror, I started to think about the ways we all present o...

Arwen Becker on the 29029 Challenge and How Women Can Handle It All
I met Arwen Becker by accident in the Aspen airport. Her red hat caught my eye with a mysterious number, 29029, the height of Mount Everest in feet.
