My husband Casey (aka the Fireman) and I were closing the loop on our 2016 tax planning this weekend and it was clear that a pause and celebration was in order. It's so easy to move quickly from one phase into the next without stopping to appreciate where you’ve been and express gratitude for all that you’ve been through - instead, let's take a moment to celebrate and reflect.

I was in a long-term, happy marriage. I was blessed to be the mother of beautiful children. I had my own software company.  To many, it may have seemed like, “She’s got it all.”

But there was still something missing.

I was still experiencing chronic illness and…and what?

I dove deep within and found some insidious little blocks living in the inner recesses of my being. These blocks had been put in place to keep me safe.  “Don’t show yourself fully.” “It’s not safe to let someone in.” “You …

On the journey to Right Livelihood, the first step, Aligning to Your Soul Purpose and Path, can be your biggest challenge. Your soul purpose and path is an understanding of who you are, what you are here to do, and the process you will use for the journey.

There are some who come into this life knowing their purpose. A five-year-old might say, “I want to be a heart surgeon.” All through school, this young one is delighted to learn math, chemistry, biology, and eventually fulfills the dream.

Many of us are feeling a deeper call to find more purpose and meaning in our lives. We feel an invitation to walk more fully into who we truly are and allow this to become what we do and how we are seen in the world.

This is the journey of Right Livelihood. Yet the path, at times, can offer subtle blocks.  We get stuck, we mire in the muck, and even question whether we’ll ever reach the Right Livelihood destination.

I’ve got a secret to share with you; the path is the destination.

Right Li…

Metaphors are potent vessels of transformation. They are used everywhere in our world to influence our behaviour. For example in marketing and politics. They have so much impact, because we don’t just hear them, or see them with our ears and eyes. They go directly to our gut. They impact us in a way that is much more direct than just words.

And actually, metaphors are even more powerful than that.

In a way: Everything is metaphor.

The main way that our body/mind/soul system make sense of the …

As we move into December, I feel myself yearning for the silence of winter. In the old way, winter was a time of sitting around the fire and listening to each other. The elders would tell the old stories, passing along their wisdom to the young.

Everyone knew this was a time of deep listening, which is one of the guiding principles of peacemaking.

Listening deeply with a quiet mind allows you to be open, connect to the person speaking, and look for understanding.

This type of respectful co…
