In my early 20’s, I asked myself what would turn out to be a life-defining question: “How can we create a better world, when everyone has a different version of it?” I had an environmentally-conscious products store at the time, and noticed that even my “like-minded” customers were shockingly at odds with each other. Sound familiar?

I could never have anticipated where this question would lead me. I am in awe of life as both a teacher and a lover. I learned a lot!  In the process of wanting to share what I had learned, I found myself struggling with two additional questions that turned out to have a profound impact.

First, how do I share what I have learned when it doesn’t fit into any of the ordinary boxes? This turned out to be a critical part of my personal journey, understanding the process of shifting and why the new reality is so powerfully different.

The second question came up as I was preparing to step into the world in a more public way after writing my book. It wouldn’t go away, even though I tried to ignore it. The question was: “What’s in it for me?”  I had to stop and acknowlege that a part of me was tired… soul weary, in fact. Like many of you, I’m guessing. I had a déjà vu feeling of, “What’s the point?”

Which brought me to a missing piece… original desire. A better world isn’t a destination, it’s an ecstatic state of consciousness that allows us to finally experience why we want to be human in the first place. It’s time to help each other get what we most deeply desire. That’s what’s in it for me—and for you.

It’s about time to create and experience a world that affirms:”Yes! THIS is why I am alive!”
