We are living in intense, tender, transitional times.
Most of us feel challenged, uncomfortable.
Wonky, Wrong, Wretched.
Thrown to Fight. Hide. Strive. Impress.
But here’s the thing:
Even with all your perceived Warts, Wants, Wallowing…
You are you – a gift – right now, in yourself and in your world.
You can accept your essential self,
tend your special seeds,
and BLOOM.
.
The Stories & the Shift
We all trip —
we rear back at red flags —
we fall into the same familiar potholes…
So many sad stories we end up living inside,
hooks holding us back.
The metaphors we choose become levers –
and those levers can work for us or against us.
As we build the perspective & agency
to shift our frame, we quite literally change our game.
This is the work.
.
Being Here, With Ourselves
What we choose matters.
Can we stay with ourselves?
Can we unhook from what no longer works?
Can we let fall away what no longer serves?
Can we allow the blessings in front of us
to flow within –
like living water in a dry and dusty land?
SO Much is possible.
Learning to work with our own energy
– our body, our history, Heaven & Earth, ALL our relations –
makes all the difference.
.
The Trap of IDEAL Images
IDEAL images, Perfect Pictures dominate many of us.
This can leave us feeling not enough
wanting… wounded… even worthless…
But here’s something that once sounded crazy to me
and became a balm to my searing soul:
There is no Perfect State in this reality – not one that applies to all.
No universal yardstick.
No one else to be.
Nothing else to become.
Just me.
Just you.
Just us.
And we GET TO choose—and keep choosing—
our own unique way,
in alignment with our deepest soul Source.
.
From Feeling Unsteady, Insecure to Rooted
We may feel Wobbly & Whirling…
but we can live Grounded & Centered.
Where we’ve been tripping,
we CAN choose a path of transformation,
digging into our treasure:
- Weak? We can discover STRENGTH.
- Wishing? We can develop COURAGE.
- Worried? We can allow TRUST.
. - Withered? We can become ALIVEness.
- Wrecked? We can awaken into WHOLEness.
- Worn & Warped? We can REST and own our singular BEAUTY.
Together, we can Face our Challenges & Find our FRUIT.

Developing What’s Been Dormant
What if we are Pure Potential—Wild Possibility—
blessed with an ability to continually create, anew?
What if we get to PLAY
and keep learning, growing, shining?
What if wandering our way home
to our true self—from the inside out—
is the central challenge of our life
and the fulfillment of our soul?
This is what I call Teleios:
we are becoming the Great Oak hidden in the acorn.
