Coordinates: In bed with my new buho – owl stuffed animal. You know those hook machines in super markets and gas stations, the ones no one ever wins at. Well, my assistant Maria wins at the hook a lot. While I was at the ATM she disappeared and reappeared with not one new furry friend but three! I am continually amazed by this woman.
Are you freaking out about money? It seems many people are right now. Either you hate the job you have, lost your job, or are stuck in a just-ok job that you’re golden handcuffed to while you dream of someday doing *the thing.* Perhaps you quit the corporate job some time ago to do *the thing* and are struggling to make the new thing be financially as rewarding as you’d like.
Count yourself in good company. The world is kinda like this right now.
If you’re doing fine bringing in money, you still may be experiencing other worries. I suspect no one is getting out of this massive economic reinvention without facing their fears.
Shiz is getting real and we’re getting pushed past previous breaking points. How?
HOW?
I can only offer the lyrics of a half-written song.
I realized I was trying to people-please the voices in my own head. When I talked to my deepest wisdom within myself, I wasn’t fully authentic. I wasn’t getting my hardest questions answered because I wasn’t asking them. I was pretending to be satisfied by answers that didn’t fully satisfy me.
Well, that had to stop. It was a grounding experience.

dragon musings : definitions
I’ve started working on a list of simple definitions of the emotions named on each card in the Becoming Dragon deck. I thought to share a few.
We use these words like they have specific meanings, but I find there’s much sloppiness about them. What’s the difference between sadness and despair, or despair and desperation? It helps me to know what I specifically mean by these words.
Wander – The ground under each next step is illuminated.
Lost – I am ungrounded.
Being – There's no better there than here.
FOMO – If I was somewhere else I’d be ok.
Presence – I am it.
Addiction – I have to have it.
Revelation – Truth is everywhere.
Illusion – Truth is somewhere
Sacred – Yes, you are in me.
Bored – What where?
Accountability – I am responsible.
Blame – You are responsible for me.
Forgive – Swallowing the strong medicine
Bitterness – The taste of strong medicine
Gratitude – Magnetizing what is yours
Entitlement – Lacking the understanding of what is yours
Manifestation – Alignment to what is
Scarcity – Disalignment to what is not
Mirror – Lack of distortion
Projection – Preaching what isn't yours to say
Rest – Consuming nothing
Exhaustion – Consuming everything
Tender – An embraced heart
Rage – The anguished denial of heart
