Grace First.

We are not perfect. We never will be. That’s OK. This journey is not about perfection, it’s about extending grace to ourselves (and others) over and over and over again. It is when we stop blaming and shaming ourselves (and others) that profound change occurs. We know that showing our imperfections is the most courageous thing we can do. It is in our vulnerability that others will find hope.

Conscious Choice.

We live out of conscious choice, empowered by education and self-knowledge. We walk a new path, one that is a great experiment in finding our own answers, our personal peace. Our choice may not be the choice of the majority and that’s OK. We educate ourselves, question our motivations, and find our truth. And from this truth we can live beyond self-imposed rules.

Powerful Responsibility.

We are not powerless. We know that our choices, decisions, and especially our questions give us our power back. We may not choose our circumstances but we know our lives are ultimately our responsibility. And we refuse to give our power away to alcohol, to old stories we’ve told ourselves, or to other people.

We Are The Change.

The most profound movements always start with just a few. We are that few. People don’t need fear-based lectures – they need examples. The most hopeful thing another can see is you. Happy, joyful and at peace. Without fear, without rules and without pain.
