Wanting is more powerful than needing. Standing in a place of wanting includes more choice, more active agency, and more personal power.
Joy Tip Wednesday - It IS Your Time
Over the last three weeks I’ve been busting through the three major myths that keep us stuck. They are not-so-sweet lies we tell ourselves to keep us from moving forward. The stories that make us pretend that we don’t deserve to be happy, to live the life that we daydream about, or to think that something could be different.

Joy Tip Wednesday: New Is A Choice Away
Commitment continues to be on my mind as a central focus for 2016 for me. I've been thinking about commitment and how sometimes the idea creates a sense of dying freshness in my mind. Like the old farm house that is falling apart and about ready to collapse, but damn it you are committed to holding onto that old piece of history. Of course that is pretty ridiculous. Commitment doesn't have to mean that the grass grows burnt and the floor boards loose their lacquer. Because in any moment we can plant more grass or re-polish those floors. Newness is a choice.
