The Everyday Mind
In the end, only we know where we’re going. In the end, only we know who we want to be. And in the interest of dispelling fallacies about the end *spoiler alert* from our higher vantage point and from greater minds than ours, the end was never the point anyway. It’s the […]
This is a longer post, friends, so strap in. There’s a gorgeousness to working with people. And yes, I’m aware that any number of my former equestrian clients are knee-slap laughing right now. Because from the lifetime equestrian climbing up one horse, then back up another, who swore I was a horse-not-people […]
