I believe...

I was recently inspired to compile a list of my beliefs. And, while the list I generated was far too long for the purposes of that initial motivating factor, I thought I would share them here as a way of sharing more about myself. Of course, this is not an exhaustive list, and I may read this again later and wish to disavow some of these statements. But at least for now, which is the only moment there ever is, I believe...
  • in letting your life speak, walking the talk, practicing what you preach.
  • there are multiple paths to the same endpoint.
  • in being change you wish to see in the world. (Gandhi)
  • our health as human beings and the health of the Earth and its other inhabitants are inextricably linked.
  • one-way communication is an oxymoron.
  • in following your heart.
  • "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
  • we are each unique waves rising out of and descending back into the same ocean.
  • that change is the only constant.
  • in meals made with love and local ingredients, shared with friends and family, and meaningful conversation.
  • if we each listened just a little more closely, with a little more compassion and openness in our hearts, the world would be a far better place.
  • communication is about far more than what you say.
  • in the power of the breath and the power of silence.
  • employees are a company's most valuable resource.
  • it is our duty to create more environmentally friendly businesses, communities, and infrastructure that will sustain our children and future generations.
