Almost Hidden
It was a crisp Autumn afternoon and Elli Mac was sitting on the oak wood bench in Sherwood Park. She has been coming here since she was a little girl, and she always chose the aged bench that sat right below a grand Redwood tree. The trunk was so thick that, when she was little, she imagined she and her sister could carve a cozy home in the middle and secretly live inside.

The power of vulnerability
When I started to experience the power of vulnerability, the results were incredible. A weight lifted off my shoulder. I was able to cope better and my relationships improved. The most magical thing was to also create a place for others to find the courage to be vulnerable. My vulnerable strength spread confidently throughout my circle and I felt empowered as a leader and authentic communicator. I set out a strategy for goals, little and grand, with each day, I made a little bit of progress until I was able to walk again, my graduate CPA certificate in hand. We can achieve so much by embracing the power of vulnerability. Now more than ever our community needs authentic movements for supporting vulnerable forms of leadership.

Freckles Abroad
It's been a while, folks! My 2021 has been pretty slow getting started, so far. Mostly I'm working on my second semester of classwork and reading and writing and exercising and keeping to myself in my flat, so as not to spread germs or catch any.

Abandoned Beauties
She was absolutely beautiful, in my opinion, but very few people would think so. She sat in a puddle of water, squished in between brittle brown ivy sprigs and the barren branches of a lifeless jade. She had flung a few pale pink flowers up from her central crown. They were ruffled and shaded to a darker hue along the edges. Most of her flowers had shriveled weeks ago and stuck to the dust-clogged fur of her leaves or hung over her pot’s sides like abandoned parachutes. African Violets do not have a scent. Their petals have an iridescence which, in nature, attracts moths by moonlight. Her blossoms caught and held the light from the overhead neon sign flashing ‘Special Sale’.

who we truly are
Who we truly are is something beautiful, but it is also something vulnerable and sensitive and easily hit and hurt. Who we truly are is open, wants to show itself, wants to get in touch and connect. Our true essence needs to breathe and express and interact. It wants to touch and to be touched, wants to amuse and to be amused, wants to speak and do the truth, wants to be spoken to and be done the truth to. Wants to be done away with the filters.

Speed Bumps Ain't Made for Stopin'
It was hot summer's day. The moment you stepped outside you could tell the sun was not particularly gracious to anyone who had the courage enough to brave the intolerable heat. The scorching rays of sunlight barreled down without any mercy. And along with it cane a Southern summer's heat. It was muggy, sticky, and humid. The kind of air that you can almost feel on your skin.

The mindset of Winners v/s the mindset of Losers
