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. 

The Joy To Long

A bee does not wander. It follows attraction. In the following of attraction, it pollinates. In pollinating, it creates abundance. Knowing follows the same pattern.

The Peace To Be

A baby does not need to certainty to know, it needs assurance from babies who were cared for, grew up, then to meet their needs and the needs of others, as their own. 

The Trust To Know

You are not here to prove what you already know is true. You are here to remember what you need to know, so you can belong, become, and bear the fruit of knowledge.

Enter The Trove

Why spend a lifetime trying to know better when  you already do? Welcome to The Trove, a collection of essays, stories, and rabbit trails that explore how to belong, become, and bear fruit with what we know.
