Discovering Life Purpose

We live to make a living but we are not making a living to live at the cost of our happiness.

The search for Life Purpose begins with the discovery of Inner Truth. To find Inner Truth we must search within the essence of what brings us joy and helps others along the path.

How do we find something that is not readily visible to us? We begin by looking deeper into the every day, seemingly ordinary events. We look beyond what we would like to happen exactly.... into what makes us happy... even deeper into what makes our souls come alive and soar beyond the world's physical architects of illusion. Start to notice who you are.... I mean who you are at your core. What do you enjoy doing everyday without even getting a thought's permission to contemplate? What comes natural to you? Where are you in your life, where have you been and what are the beings (people, animals, plants) that seem to gravitate to you on a daily basis?

We may all have similar work, routines and responsibility but we are all uniquely favored in our gifts, talents and purpose. Look beyond the ordinary to derive the essence of who you are and what you came here to do.

Story

Story consists of life experience. It is an outlet used to charge the minds of others. It is pain, pleasure, love, aggression and moral all rolled up into a sequence of events. The characters are players of the story, and ultimately, they are molded from these events.


Not every story has been told. Many stories that are being told through, film, television, literature and even music, has been recycled. There are so many concepts to be acknowledged and stories calling to be given a voice. When we grasp for the unordinary, we obtain more authentic, original and innovative material. Most importantly, every story, no matter how similar, has not been told the same way by two different storytellers. This is the signature voice.

Color Therapy & Meaning

There is more to colors than meets the eye. Like each of us, it inhabits multidimensional qualities, and as you observe closer, it adds meaning to what we see and create around us. Each color has the ability to evoke an emotion and facilitate a healing within by seeing outside ourselves.

Learning the Art of Letting Go

 “Don't hang in there Baby. You will always land on your feet."

In order to gain, we must give away what is no longer needed. "Nature abhors a vacuum". By letting go of what no longer works in our lives, we get closer to a higher state of self which is without regret, fear or doubt, but empowered through, faith, trust and unconditional love for self and others. There are various seasons for new people, places and opportunities to come along. Life is about choices and in making these choices we choose what we want to carry with us and what we want to leave behind. No matter the choice, the lesson is the greatest component that we gain and carry into the future.

The Art of Dance Styles

Dance is a language that has evolved all around the world. It is a language that every body speaks. In every form, there is culture and artistic freedom explored through movement of the human body.

The styles are endless, yet still I sought to explore some of the most popular styles by compiling a piece that lists these various forms as a reference for dance enthusiasts.
