This is the moment of transformation. \”The little self, driven by fear and a craving for comfort, identifies only with \’me.\’ The true self, driven by nothing, identifies with the unbounded awareness that we truly are.\” ~Ezra Bayda~  For those of you who know my backstory, my most challenging relationship this lifetime was with my […]
