All Rise
There’s a line in Robbie Williams’ “Let Me Entertain You” that I have resonated quite strongly with this past year. It goes like this:
“I’m a burning effigy of everything I used to be…”
And so I am. And so it is. And here we are.
At any given moment, Life offers us the opportunity to majestically (and at times, somewhat painfully) wipe the slate clean in order to re-create everything from the ground up.
The other day I was telling myself, “I’m going all out, because I’m all in.” Some people found...

When Invocation Meets Desire
Invocation. I like this word… mostly in Spanish.
Invocación. It has a deeper resonance to it. An oomphatic statement.
It also makes me think of Joaquin Rodrigo’s “Invocación y Danza” piece for guitar.
It sounds very elfish if you ask me. Elves with cheeky agendas. With a troll that lurks and then skips through the forest (min. 4-ish). It’s not a piece I’m drawn to play, since I prefer more flowing harmony, like this.
But it certainly reflects how random life can seem at times. And mysterious.

Accidents Are NOT Karma Saying F*** You…
I write this as a tribute to anyone who has experienced severe wake up calls (referred to by some as ‘accidents’), and a gentle reminder that it’s okay. You’re more than okay. You’re clearing your path to new awareness and what you truly desire. Here’s my story:
I was in Vancouver enjoying a glorious April afternoon drive back from the North Shore to the West End in the passenger seat of a friend’s car. We werehappily engaged in conversation coasting along Denman Street, when a car almost side...

Desire
Immediately, U2 comes to mind for me. Of course, that’s not the only reference for me these days. I have a new one:
Danielle LaPorte – the creator of The Desire Map, author of The Fire Starter Sessions (Random House/Crown), and co-creator of Your Big Beautiful Book Plan. An inspirational speaker, former think tank exec and business strategist, she writes weekly at DanielleLaPorte.com, where over a million visitors have gone for her straight-up advice — a site that’s been deemed “the best place...

7.Eh?
Earthquakes have become a massive reminder for me, on a physical scale, of the opportunity to raise group consciousness and wake up to new realities within.
Living in LA, I’ve already experienced a large one, which was no doubt concerning at the time. It happened when I first arrived a few years ago and I was not feeling ‘settled’ in myself.
Since then, and after a lot of conscious cleansing work, which created a deeper sense of stability within, I have thankfully slept through most of the othe...
