Tapping into Creative Flow
My Spectrum online workshop Windows to Your Soul will go live on August 22nd! I had originally thought that the workshop would be smaller, but as I was going through the process of organizing it and pulling from my outline of ideas, it began to expand and grow in ways I had not imagined. […]
Following Your Intuition
In a world where we are taught to follow the rules, play it safe, fit in, etc. its hard to remember how to just be yourself. We are taught from a young age how to do things properly, unless you were one of the lucky few who had parents who allowed you to discover things […]
