What did you do? Do something! I keep hearing this plea and this question. I’ve come to understand them as the voice of my ancestors and my descendants. They feel like a call to action, but what action? What can I really do? I live in a quiet town in the Midwest. There are occasional […]
Read MoreWhat is energy? How do we define it? These were the questions our Expanding Inward team were considering on a recent planning call.

Read MoreIn the summer of 2002 I attended Tarot Week at Diana’s Grove. Early in the week each person drew a major arcana card to embody for the week. I drew the Hanged One. I was a tarot novice, (still mostly am actually) and the prospect was pretty daunting but I was working towards earning my […]
