In the western world we enjoy feeling altruistic. The truth is we have so much, more then enough and we want to give. Well, some of us do. The Nepali people work hard. But they work first for their family, then village, then country. It seems like a good idea to me and yet I find myself helping strangers across the globe rebuild their school.

Blessings in 2015 - And changing our ways.

Being empowered isn’t about having it all figured out its about stepping into our power and claiming our sacred place in the world.

With the New Year comes new inspiration and lots of opportunity to change our ways.
