"Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it." Nectar from THRIVE...In our THRIVE circle last month we began to rewrite our money stories. One participant wrote "It doesn't have to be traditional." Another added, "I can make something from nothing." And someone else reflected, "I'm not really part of the current system...and I don't want to be." We're inventing new systems, imagining new stories. Slowly and with patience finding ways to create for ourselves lives that are sustainable and creative and flourishing.--whatever that means for each of us. I'll be honest, the work is not always comfortable. But it is radical in all the best ways. And fun. We've identified our creative skills and strengths, unpacked deep seated paradigms and patterns, and learned about purse nuggets, twigs, and zoobashanks. And we're not even half done... Our current THRIVE circle is closed. Click the link to be first to learn when a new one opens later this year.
words from the vaults of gratitude"In all your offerings... we’re held in the questions and given space to experience the discomfort of not having an answer right away.” Well, that's the ripple for this week, friends. Pay attention to those cardinals. They've got something to say.

The color of indeterminacy and waiting. The color of suspension and liminality. Smoke, mirrors, and shimmer. Ash. Age. Gray can be restful or alarming. It’s rarely appetizing. It was in vogue for a while but I hear...
