We talk about changes over time—in tone, purpose, and rhythm—and, of course, we do an embodiment practice.When you're walking through the world and living life, with all of its complications and imperfections, you can still relax your shoulders. You can relax into the don't knows and the have to's. You can relax into the uncertainty and the loose ends. You can deepen your ability to thrive and survive by choosing to make room for what you feel.Welcome to Thriving in Plain Sight...

[e42] Creativity and Intention: How Do You Want People to Feel?
As people who create things—whether we are creating art, ideas, or objects—we often (and rightly) focus on the content and material of what we're making. Even so, there's another question to consider: how do we want people to feel? What is our intention in creating this thing? What flavor, scent, experience, are we putting into the world? What is that element, dynamic, or value that we care about, and can we infuse our actions, activities, and creations with its essence?Welcome to Thriving in Plain Sight. Thank you for being here....
