Into your Place

"It is in the thousands of days of trying, failing, sitting, thinking, resisting, dreaming, raveling, unraveling that we are at our most engaged, alert and alive." - Dani Shapiro



We move in moments to discover the place to exist in the "family of things."  We push through the valleys and climb the mountains.  Moving onward, we search for wonder.

Listen for the wild geese.

Alternate the playful with the serious. Define yourself as a work-in-progress with positivity and possibility. Understand what you need and focus on becoming.
