  • Turning on our inner power and transforming ourselves and the world around us

 

“When people have the right tools and they’re working with the truth, they can do remarkable things, including courageous and resilient things. The trick isn’t to have some quality that others don’t have, it’s to make a choice not to act from fear, whether in our inquiry or our actions.”  –  Kimberly Carter Gamble
