Who Will You Be in This Pregnant Moment? Just Choose.

Ah. Who will you be, indeed? Just choose. Then choose. Then choose again.

Gregg Braden’s 15 Keys to Conscious Creation

My explorer friends Ricardo Accorsi and Linda Parker introduced me to the wild work of Gregg Braden, and I took these notes at the end of 2014. I was reflecting on my year while listening to the last chapter of his audiobook, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief.
