Our Greatest Need
Is To Know
The Trilogy
Knowing Is A Gift
The Gift Of Knowing is a modern-day trilogy of self-actualization. Rather than a pyramid stacked with needs to meet and a climb to a top only few reach, it is a trellis that supports our growth to the top by meeting our need to know. Knowing gives us the agency to belong, become, and bear what we know.
The Proof Is In The Baby
A curious baby is a happy thriving baby. Babies do not need certainty to know; they are driven to know. And when they do, they imagine, reenact, and create what they know. We are born know, bear what we know, and share this gift of our knowing with the world.
What I Know
I came to this work, not through therapy, or a doctorate, but through a bucket of paint. I didn't hear a calling, and I wasn't particularly gifted at art. Color became my vehicle for self-actualization not because I loved decorating, but because using paint colors to make myself feel at home changed how I felt about the world. I built a dream of beauty, belonging, then shared my knowing with others by helping them do the same. That's how I belonged, became, and beared a life of shared dreams.
