You have many beautiful and valuable gifts.

You may believe otherwise
and judge yourself harshly. 
You may despair to belong in this world.

​What if you could feel at home here?
What if you could delight in your brilliance?
What if the world needs what you can give?

Right now,  exactly as you are, you are a beautiful bud 
whose genius is waiting to bloom... 
SENSITIVITY
Sensitivity is a doorway to deep attunement with subtle dimensions of your Being, and the origination point of your creative impulse. It is also a doorway to sensing the broader field of life, and being able to respond to and support the creative emergence in collective settings.

Your subtle sensing, attunement, and responsiveness are a much-needed counterpoint to the drivenness of our Western, logic- and control-oriented culture.

While there can be many challenges to being sensitively wired in a social environment that generally doesn't "get" it, we can learn to create a life that fits and allows us to contribute.
CREATIVITY 
By creativity I don't just mean artistic expression, though it can certainly include that. Creativity involves being open to new ideas, unusual combinations, threads of curiosity that weave into a unique perspective or approach. 

Your creative brilliance is a natural expression of your authenticity. There's no need to force yourself to be brilliant or creative - it emerges organically from following what makes you feel alive. It is part of your unique contribution to the flow of Life.  
Northwest poet and inspirational speaker, David Whyte, sees our contribution as a sacred responsibility:

"Our voice is unique and one of a kind, and it's been given to us in order to speak out.
And if our voice isn't brought forth, then the world isn't complete.
Certainly our personal world isn't complete.
But the world at large also isn't complete until we speak out our true voice.
​And the world is waiting."

My heart's desire is to be the 'encouragement of illuminating kindness' that supports you in gently, powerfully unfolding into your natural and unique brilliance, so that you can be and enjoy your sensitive, creative self, and do what you're really here to do in the world! 

"How did the rose ever open its heart and give to the world all of its beauty?
 
​It felt the encouragement of light against its being,
otherwise we all remain too frightened."
