November 13th is World Kindness Day. When I first heard about this day, I was puzzled as to why we would need one. After all, being kind is just a nice way to be both for the giver and the receiver. But then I thought about it further and the potential for the betterment of society…

2023 has been quite the year for climate change related events.

While climate change can be scary and overwhelming and some may want to point fingers, each of us plays a part in what we are experiencing today as well as what is needed to change our current trajectory.

The good news is it's not too late to avoid the worst.

It begins with seeing past the Illusion of Separation…

I believe each of is planting a seed for future generations.

Your seed, in combination with the seeds each of us plant, is what future generations will understand about us as individuals and collectively. Together, all of our seeds will contribute to the world future generations will experience.

The question we each need to ask ourselves is…

It doesn’t take much to see that while there is a lot of good in the world, there is no doubt we have a lot of very serious world issues.

But what if we take a step back and look at the issues from a different perspective by asking, “What are our world issues trying to show us individually and collectively as a species?”.

Are they trying to show us that we are a species forever based on conflict, division and separation or could it be something else?

As you look around at our world do you wonder why, after all this time and with the number of achievements we have made as a species, we still haven't resolved world issues (and even our own personal issues)?

After all, we call ourselves an intelligent species so we should be able to figure this out right?

You're right, we should be able to and we absolutely can.

How?

When I hear the words “Black Race”, “White Race”, etc. I want to lose my mind. There is NO scientific basis for different human races. The belief in different human races is a social construct enforced with social conditioning. It has NO biological basis.

When we look around at the issues facing our world today, they can appear overwhelming, complex, growing and near impossible to eradicate. It's understandable to think that way given elementary logic would dictate if the issues were easy to resolve they would have been already. Yet they are resolvable…

Our world is in a mess. Our problems are big, interconnected and literally out of control. While we may want to put our heads in the sand and…

On November 11, 2018 events were held around the world to commemorate the 100 anniversary of the Armistice (the end) of World War I. At the time, World War I was called “the war to end war”; “the war to end all wars” and yet even after so many lives were lost, so many lives were impacted and such damage was incurred because of that war, World War II began a…

I imagine you’ve seen the headlines of children being separated from their parents as they cross from one man made country border to another. As a parent and a fellow human being, it breaks my heart and I am very much angered by it. As a person who’s Big-Why is to help create a transformational shift in human consciousness, I was also feeling deflated in my ability to help create…

Sometimes we can look at the actions of an elected leader and think, “What the heck are they thinking?” Here we are in the 21st century supposedly evolved with countless people from all walks of life and position working hard to play fair in this sandbox we call Earth when along comes an elected leader who appears to be on a mission to…

For many, the change over to a new year brings with it a desire to set a goal; an intention at the individual level. For example, lose weight, quit smoking, declutter, get in shape, be debt free, etc.

But what if this year,…

While it may appear that a few are creating the global reality we are experiencing now and in the future, this is an illusion we have been programmed to believe. We each play a part. For example,…

Changing the world doesn’t start with changing other people. It starts with changing yourself and the actions you are taking in every moment. - Lisa Layden
