Values and beliefs are under the scanner and the powers that be are rushing to add smoke to the view ahead.

So it’s no wonder we can feel like we are living under the rule of tyrant and nothing we do is setting us free.

Nothing is further from the truth.

Each step in the desired direction is a step away from the current reality. Small things add up to BIG changes.

We know this intellectually but we need to believe it from the heart. Anything we do to change our own actions or when we show up just little different, a little more conscious than before, we are collectively better off than we were before.
