Passion and Serenity

As an ever-evolving human being, my intent is to stay aware of the cutting edge of my own growth. It is what I teach, preach and live (except for those Bad Hair Days, of course). Over the past 30 years, I have honed my Spiritual Warrior energy, passionate about my vision for what's possible for myself, for the people with whom I connect, and for playing my part in creating an inheritable world for our children (and specifically, my daughter and grandchildren) – who are our future.

I really love my passion. I feel alive and up and out, totally Involved in the moment. Serenity is something I aspire to add and integrate. Can I be passionate AND serene at the same time? How do I combine a Spiritual Warrior and a Dalai Lama? At first blush, they seem opposites.

Lucky for me, I have a constant model of Serenity in my daughter Rebecca. She was born that way – with a deeply embedded river of serenity, quiet and vibrant, at the same time. I feel easy and safe around her, soaking up that underlying easiness that radiates from her. And it's not just me, I see others gravitate towards her and just hang out. My support partner, Diana Makens also is a role model, with her unique blend of wisdom and faith. I am so fortunate in having these two women in my life – both highly productive, low maintenance, serene.

In order for me to achieve that deeply serene quality, I suspect it will require me to embody a deeper level of Faith – more faith in mySELF, more faith in the journeys of my pathmates, and more faith in the Ultimate Goodness of IT ALL … perhaps substituting the Sword of Truth for the Heart of Truth. 

I'll keep you posted.
