I believe all of us hold onto traumas. Some of us have big ones that affect us in a strong way, some less. Most of these traumas occurred when we were young little chickens, and they stay with us unless we do something about it. For many years I was dysfunctional due to my traumas, as…

- Slow and Steady
I've been studying and practicing a concept called non-violent communication. Learning to communicate by seeing and referencing each other's needs.

I am creating a shift within myself as we speak, and the intent is to try and only collect “clean money” from people. What do I mean by “clean money” 💰? Hang on for the ride and I'll explain. Do you ever experience awkwardness receiving or paying money? Do you ever wonder where that comes from? I believe…
- Upside Down
Upside down…. 👓 I can choose to put on a pair of glasses to see the world differently. Instead of seeing people as “good or bad”, I can choose to see people the same as me, trying to get the same needs we have met but using different strategies. Sometimes I don’t know what needs I have.…
