I am in love with all of life.

Sometimes it's easier to love the IDEA of your body than it is to love the ACTUAL experience of your body.

The exquisite beauty of an ending can be marked by its blossom.

Collier Connections is a co-created entity, and serendipities have led to serendipities.

This is a letter about climbing up and falling down, and getting up again, meeting all of it with compassion.

What I enjoy most in these plants, what’s most delectable and nourishing in the darkest months of the year, is elegantly protected by the structure of the plant itself.

And the center of our creative endeavor together continues to be this: the mundane and deeply spiritual breaking of bread. We are nourished together.

In this video, Seda and I bring you along on a "regular" weekend of connection, problem-solving, accomplishment, and play.

In an alternate universe, I’m a fairy. And I eat Snowberries, one per tiny plate, for breakfast.

Leo has Faith in the flight of that ball. What do I have faith in? What project of mine has been sitting on the ground and wants to fly?

Fasting from food and unplugging myself from technology, I go to the coast in my camper van for the joy of feeling my inner experience and connecting with nature.

Which beings in your world might you take a second glance at and get to know a little better?

Reframing, as we discussed in our first session of the Core Alignment with Joy this past week, is often born from humor.

In this video, I describe my Nonviolent Communication (NVC)-inspired practice of empathy and bring you along for a real time glimpse of our empathy sharing.

When it’s winter in the soul, we can tend to our shadows with love.

One of the practices in the Core Alignment with Joy is reframing. I can tell you there is a huge energetic difference for me between “I have work to do tonight” vs. “I’m going to take care of the baby.”

Is gratitude for someone else or for us when we feel the thrill of the flow of love when we place our attention on something we are grateful for? Or both?

Every session of the Joy Collective brings growth, integration, accountability, and inspiration as my offerings intertwine with receiving and evolve in co-creation.

Where we place our attention (misery or joy) will shape our coming year.

My joy practice, shared in the Core Alignment with Joy series, is playful, meaningful, and in the flow … yet that’s not all.
