“Common sense” isn’t common—it’s inherited. Real freedom begins when we learn to think for ourselves. Critical thinking is a practice.

From pain to power — our wounds hold the seeds of wisdom. What was meant to break us can become what makes us whole.

Truth isn’t something to wield—it’s something to tend. Not a weapon to win with, but a thread we weave in love, together.

There was a time when I wouldn’t speak my truth unless I was sure it would be believed. In a world obsessed with credibility, I learned to question my own voice before I even opened my mouth. We’re taught to look outward for authority, for permission, for proof. But what if your lived experience was already enough? What if reclaiming your voice wasn’t about being credible—but about being sovereign in your truth?

The created life is a spiral of remembering, reweaving, and returning—a sacred rhythm, not a destination, but a becoming.

What if life isn’t about finding the right path, but learning to trust the river? Let go. The flow already knows where to take you.

We can’t make meaningful change because we’ve forgotten who and what we are. We traded community for systems, belonging for performance, and sacred interdependence for the myth of the self-made. Real change won’t come from doing more — it begins with remembering. Remembering our kinship with all life, our power to create, and our place in the great web of becoming. From that place — we rise.

We are drowning in information, yet starving for truth. In a world where media is curated, filtered, and often manipulated, many of us have lost the ability to know what’s real—not just out there, but in here. This piece isn’t about finding the ultimate answer. It’s about something far more vital: remembering how to trust our own inner knowing, reclaiming the quiet voice of intuition we’ve long outsourced to authority.

The West didn’t just conquer land—it warred against memory. Because memory is dangerous. It calls the soul back to truth, to spirit, to belonging. Empire survives through forgetting; remembrance dismantles it. To remember is to unlearn domination, to stop extracting and start honoring. As the world reweaves what was severed, the myth of Western exceptionalism unravels—truth by truth, soul by soul.

Somewhere in the tangle of our inherited stories, we were sold a dangerous myth: that salvation, transformation, and even the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of one. One hero. One saviour. One chosen. But what if that’s not truth? What if the real power lies not in the hands of one—but in the hearts of many? In the collective awakening? The myth of “The One” has kept us waiting, when we were always meant to rise together.

We confuse authority with truth—and forget we are the authors of our lives. We defer to experts, even when their advice doesn't feel right. But true authority lives within. It’s the quiet knowing, the embodied yes or no. What shifts when we stop outsourcing our power… and start trusting ourselves?

Sometimes the greatest lessons come not from words, but from watching. An elder shows children how wolves interact—how conflict can end in restraint, not violence. In nature, we find humble reminders that true strength lies in balance, in listening, and in learning together—generation to generation.

Before Maslow’s pyramid, there was the circle. The Blackfoot taught that our highest potential is realized together, not alone. When we focus only on individual achievement, we miss the wisdom of community—where everyone’s well-being is connected. It's time to return to the circle, to redefine success as shared belonging, and to remember that real fulfillment is woven through our relationships with each other.

You are a miracle, reject any limiting belief that would separate you from the greatest expression of your magnificence . - Amber Howard, CEO/Founder One wouldn't expect to become an Olympic athlete without decades of practice and mastery. So then why do we expect to create the life of our dreams without practice, resilience, and at least a few setbacks? The term "the art of living" encompasses the idea of intentionally crafting and experiencing a meaningful and fulfilling li
