In this talk, we explore the dance between the ego’s story of “I had it, I lost it” and the deeper truth of our being. As we release conditioned identities and rest in present-moment awareness, we discover something profound: what we are seeking was never missing. The Self we truly are has always been here.

What does it mean to step into the mystery of life, to stand on the edge of what is known and trust that all is unfolding in perfect divine right timing?  Within the creative process, there is a space which holds the mystery of how things will unfold.  We can connect with our deepest innermost selves in silence. This week we listen to the unknown for the still small voice within to reveal the next right and perfect next move for ourselves, for how we interact with others, and for the world.  We delve into universal subjective consciousness and see what lessons we have to learn.

And believe it or not, in just a few days, we will move into a new year, with a fresh new calendar.  So the question for us is, what are we carrying with us?  What are we stuck in or with that doesn’t really serve us?  Are we prepared to move into the new year, or will we stay stuck in 2025? 

“Ye though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I need not stop and build a condo.”  You might have heard that expression before. Consider that the “valley of the shadow of death” may very well not refer to physical, but emotional death.  Resentment, regret, anger, fear, all keep us from expressing and experiencing all the good that life has for us, because, and you might have heard this before, what we focus on expands. 

At any point, we can put down the hammer we are using to “build the condo,” release what no longer serves us, and keep moving through the valley.
