The Ego, The Loop, The Balance

Image
  Every day, I remind myself of something simple but not always easy: the ego’s main goal is to survive, I=Yung Pueblo said this and I agree one hundred percent  It will defend itself — sometimes blindly, sometimes loudly — even when there is no real threat. This is the human condition. This is also the human work. I’ve learned that the ego is not the enemy; it is simply the part of me that wants to feel safe. But when I cling too tightly to my thoughts, when I treat every perception as a fact, when I let old stories run on loop without question, the ego becomes a restless narrator. It pushes me into defensiveness, into proving, into circling the same point over and over instead of listening, softening, or expanding. So my intention — my daily intention — is to live from a place of balanced ego. Not ego erased. Not ego inflated. Ego balanced. Balanced ego feels like this: I am not threatened by every disagreement. I am not unsafe just because I feel uncomfortable. I can notice...

The Words I Plant

Image
  There are some truths that arrive  — gentle, but impossible to ignore. Lisa Olivera’s reminder was one of those taps for me today: Words don’t just describe. They summon. And it made me pause. It made me listen to myself a little more closely. Because if words are seeds, then every sentence I speak — to myself, to others, even in the privacy of my own mind — is planting something. Something that will grow. Something that will shape the landscape of my life. And so I found myself asking, just as Lisa: What am I growing from the words I use to describe myself, my life, and the world? What am I making more vivid that I actually want to release? What am I refusing to allow simply because I refuse to practice new ways of speaking about it? What truth have I not yet put into words because some part of me is afraid of summoning it into being? These questions sat with me. They still are. People often tell me I don’t speak much. And they’re right — I am mindful of “wasting w...

Go Deeper

Image
  There is a distinction between being and doing. We know this in theory, yet life has a way of calling us to live it out in real time. You can be doing all the “right” things — showing up, checking the boxes, moving with intention — and still feel untouched, unmoved, unchanged. When the doing is loud but the being is quiet, something inside begins to tug. A restlessness. A whisper. A knowing. And that whisper says: Go deeper. But what does deeper mean? I’ve been sitting with that question today. Letting it breathe. Letting it stretch itself out inside me. Deeper can be releasing control.  Deeper can be surrender — not the passive kind, but the holy kind that says, “I trust what I cannot yet see.” Deeper can be making a different choice when life presents you with the same old pattern. Deeper can be sitting in the stillness without an agenda, without a performance, without a timeline. Deeper can be listening — truly listening — to the quiet voice beneath the noise. Deeper can ...

The Message in the Delay

Image
    Delays have a language of their own. I would in the past believe that delays came to frustrate us or throw us off course. I have now learnt that sometimes they arrive as quiet teachers, asking us to slow down long enough to hear what we’ve been too busy to notice. Other times they come as mirrors, showing us the places where we still rush, still grasp, still try to force life into our timing instead of trusting in divine timing. I’ve learned — and I am still learning — that every delay carries a message. Sometimes the delay is asking me to endure, to hold steady, to not let panic make decisions on my behalf. Sometimes the delay is asking me to pause, to breathe, to gather myself before I move again. Sometimes the delay is asking me to pay attention, because there is a lesson tucked inside the waiting. And sometimes the delay is simply saying, Not yet. Not like this. Not from that place. I am one who likes to rush to the solution, rush to fix, rush to do something — anythin...

A Single Breath Is Still Enough

Image
  It’s been twelve days since I last wrote. Twelve days of life life‑ing in its full, unfiltered way. Twelve days of feeling absolutely no motivation to put words anywhere — not on paper, not in my notes app, not even in the quiet corners of my mind. And yet… here I am again. In the in‑between, I found myself returning to my spiritual toolkit — the practices that hold me when my energy dips and my clarity scatters. The ones that remind me who I am beneath the noise, beneath the fatigue, beneath the stories my mind tries to run on repeat. One of those anchors has been The Abundance Process by John Randolph Price. A simple, steadying study. A mirror that keeps whispering, “Look again. Abundance is here. It has always been here.” It’s been a timely reminder, especially in this season of my life where certain things feel uncertain, stretched, or slow. The practice keeps nudging me back to truth: Focus on what is present, not what is missing.   Focus on what is flowing, not wh...

Power That Blossoms From Within

Image
  May has arrived, and with it, an invitation: How will I show up in my power this month? Not the kind of power the world tries to sell us — the grasping, the controlling, the performing, the hierarchy of who is above and who is below. No. My power has never lived there. My power is inward. It is how I breathe, how I move, how I honour myself. For this month, I am choosing  integrity over image, alignment over approval, truth over noise. Real power, the kind I am committed to, is sometimes quiet. It liberates. It uplifts. It moves with love, not force. It doesn’t need to dominate anyone; it simply asks me to show up as who I truly am. This month, I am reminding myself that I don’t have to chase anything or anyone. I don’t have to run behind opportunities, validation, or timelines that were never mine. I don’t have to prove, perform, or pretend. My only work is to show up in remembrance of who I am. To live in integrity. To act from love. To do my best — and leave the rest in t...

Creating a New Reality

Image
  T here are seasons in life when you feel the ground shifting beneath your feet — not in a way that threatens you, but in a way that calls you. A quiet invitation to step into a new way of being. A new way of choosing. A new way of seeing yourself. Lately, I’ve been sitting with this idea of Creating a New Reality — not as a slogan, but as a lived practice. A discipline. A spiritual unfolding. As I prepare for my upcoming conversation with Emily  on Monday for her podcast Coming Home, I’ve been reflecting on the questions she’ll be exploring with me. Questions about intentional choices. About dignity and belonging. About the sacredness of process. Question s that have shaped not just my work, but my becoming. Here are a few of the thoughts that are on my mind: 1. The power of the pause I’ve learned that creating a new reality often begins with a single moment of stillness — that breath between the trigger and the response. That sacred space where truth becomes louder than fea...
