My Authentic Life

Fear is the root of all the darkness we see in the world. Greed. Rape. Terrorism. Hate. Rage. Divisiveness. All of it is based in fear.

We small, scared human beings have created a million fear-based constructs with which to make us feel more secure in the Universe.

[From a Non-Violent Communication (NVC) course I’m working on]

It’s so SO vital for us to start realizing the implicit violence in disguising our EVALUATIONS of other people as our FEELINGS!

As human beings, we are wired to empathize and be compassionate. YET, when we go into a conversation where someone else is hiding from being vulnerable by projecting their assumptions on us, it can be very hard not to get defensive. 

Even when we’re not using NVC, it’s so much more authentic to be honest when expressing our feelings. We want to own them so we can be seen for them. This allows 1) Others to truly empathize with us so that we can 2) Finally move past what holds us back. 

It’s such an HONOR to be able to share this information and skills with the world. I’m so blessed!
