Layers of Positive Frosting
What if you are right? What if your view of the world around you is actually 100% true? Would that be more disturbing than comforting? We all have a view of the world as largely safe and fulfilling or dangerous and cruel, and we play our hand according to this largely subconscious programming–this belief. If…
When Less is More
More, more, more… Consume, consume, consume. Be it in our garage, our homes, or our mouths. Consumers is the mantra that we’ve been conditioned by—the one we are in recovery from. But as we all know, recovery is a way of living not a destination. When more, more, more gets the best of us and…
