The health of our environment, animals, and humans are interdependent – providing the foundation for individual experience. I believe the first step to a healthy community, economy, and planet is for each of us to become centered individuals in mind, body, and spirit.

I believe that the cause of nearly all our problems is poor communication. We construct our own realities inside the corridors of our minds, distinct from the perceptions of others. When we listen carefully and clearly articulate ourselves, we come closer to understanding and connecting with one another. I believe there's no such thing as over communication and when you're listening, there's no such thing as a bad question.

The resources on Earth are finite, but love is infinite. With love and honor, we can consume consciously and reduce our negative impact on the planet. I believe in intentional consumption, where we work to minimize material consumption to lessen the stress on the environment.

Breathe in - Hold for one, two, three - Breathe out. Pretty incredible that we can control something so vital as our breath. It is a privilege to live a human experience. I believe appreciating everything around us will bring us closer to ourselves and that complaining will take us farther away from ourselves. There's no need to complain when there's so much to love, to be in awe over, and to learn from.
