There's a little about trust, a little about talking to ourselves, and some parts about normal norms in our information processing ways and days.As referred to, here's a short video that shares part of the part that ums and ahhs play in how we are processing information and connect in conversations with ourselves and others. 🔗 Why do we, like, hesitate when we, um, speak - Lorenzo García-Amaya This is a pu...

You're welcome to walk among these words worded while you weren't looking. These words introduce to you the new thing to replace the benchmark of sliced bread!!! Instead of unpacking, maybe unpicking an experience will work better to support you, or someone else, to move beyond an experience and to click, collect, and connect with the knowing waiting and wanting to be known. Unpicking is more than an efficient sense making process, it's results in stronger results that last longer because when we move beyond things are forever changed...step by step we can move forward with just one...

By experiencing pain, we can have a high quality of life while we hurt, we can smile, we can laugh, we can enjoy the joy with those we love...yep, this one word opens up a whole new way in our day we can work with what makes us human.
