Today, I saw a newly killed squirrel lying in the road. I imagined the running, gathering, seeming happy existence of squirrels. I wonder if we have overemphasized and fear death far too much.

Could that be because we think about it far too much or refuse to realize we have no more control of when it might happen than squirrels?

What Do You Know for Sure?

It is said that the universe is expanding at the rate of between 100,000 and 2 million miles a second.

What do you know for sure, anyway?

Democracy at Risk

Today, I heard a story from a very high-ranking official in the Maine state government who I know to always tell the truth. Apparently, a person was asked to fire one of their direct reports for no reason other than someone higher than them wanted it so. The person refused to fire the person in question. The next day the person who refused was fired.

Would it surprise you to know that no democracy has survived long and that the demise of these nations happened when the people refused to do what they knew was right?

Testimonials

Constant awareness of how I approach others, and how I hold them when I approach them, has been a really revelatory concept for me. In some respects, it has given words to something I had always been doing, and in others it has significantly increased my ability and willingness to do this all the time.

For me this is probably the most “radical” change in my life.

[This course] is one of only a few that had real life applications that helped prepare me to teach

Thinking about standards boundaries, things I tolerate and things that excite me are all very powerful and things we should but likely would not do unless prompted like this!

Through this course I began “living” the beliefs. I demonstrated them more naturally and comfortably. Instead of having to remind myself, I began innately “becoming” that inspired teacher I always had in me but only called upon at certain times. I changed. I am complete in every area of my life.

With each session, the conversation became easer and easier to grasp and experience. This was primarily resulting from the mounting proof that the conversation was real and true…it is the holistic nature of the conversation, as one conversation, that makes the process so satisfyingly effective.

My entire world has changed and I see things a lot differently today than I did before I began this process…I’m a lot more grounded and am learning how my self-care allows me to take better care of myself so I can be a better leader to my team; lead by example.
