In the ever-shifting flow of life there is a constant movement of growth and change. We are forever in the process of endings and beginnings, expanding into new areas of understanding and recognizing the validity of what serves us best on the journey.

Many times the image that we have of ourselves comes not from our own direct experience but from the opinions and perceptions of others. The personality created by childhood programming or the limited worldview of cultural norms overshadows the individuality which would have blossomed naturally in an atmosphere of support and acceptance.

Intention is the seed that creates our future. Whatever seeds we plant have the potential to grow when we create the conditions that support them.
