A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

Begin Again


DON'T WAIT | ONLY A HANDFUL OF DISCOUNTED EARLY BIRD SEATS LEFT! It's not a virtual event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a meeting, or a symposium. It's not about attracting a big crowd. It's not about making a profit, but rather about making a real difference. EXPLORE MORE • REGISTER HERE


Begin again…and again…
and again.
Life invites us to wake up…awaken up
come alive and thrive
Every moment…every breath
can be a fresh start
An invigorating spark…
a step out of the dark

An invitation to lighten up…
enlighten up
And find a replenishing way
to say YES to life
and NO to strife
To toss away whatever is
weighing us down…making us frown
And take a profound or courageous
or even outrageous leap

Toward something more
insightful and delightful
Simply because we can…or at the very least
we can reach and grow and go
Beyond our stuck in the mud mindset
toward an attitudinal reset
Beyond our current (dis)comfort zone
Toward infinite gifts of the unknown

There is guidance everywhere
if you care to stay aware
Just show up and pay attention
and you will find inspiration…

or perhaps it will find you

* This poem was inspired by Deanna Black, who led a yoga retreat that I attended a while ago and who spoke of the endless ways we are ongoingly invited to begin again.
