“To be or not to be.”
To understand how complexly simple this statement is, in my opinion, requires deep contemplation… a stretching of our awareness… and a lot of letting go.

Each of us is always living the question—to be or not to be. Whether consciously or not, our Be’-ing is expressed in every moment of life.

So let us begin the journey of Be-ing.


What does it really mean to Be?

We hear it all the time:

  • Be yourself.

  • Be in the moment.

  • Be patient.

  • Be unique.

  • Be a good girl.

  • Be the best you can be.

  • Be the change

But what does any of it truly mean?

What does it mean to “be a human being” and not just a human doing?

What does it mean to just Be?


A Thought Drop

I had a moment recently—a drop-in thought that has been gently consuming me.

“We work so hard to change that we’ve missed the fact that if we just Be in the moment, change will happen naturally—because change is a part of nature.”

So… why the struggle?

As someone who spent most of my life trying to change my state of Be-ing, I completely missed this paradox: that change is woven into the fabric of being. Not something we have to force. Not something we must chase.

Yes, I’m playing with these wordsBe, Be-ing, Being-ness—but there’s a reason. Language helps us loosen our grip when it gets a little playful. It opens us to something deeper.


The Trap of Conditional Be-ing

In my experience, growing up in a strict religion taught me a dangerous idea:

That there’s no acceptable state of Be-ing that God would truly approve of.

That belief is a trap. A setup for failure. It limits our Be-ing at every turn.

I was told, “Be God-like.
Accept Jesus as your savior and through Him you might Be someone of worth.

The rest, they say, is failure.

And I’ve come to ask—why even try if we are never allowed to Be fully human?


Reclaiming Our Be-ing-ness

We’ve been duped. Not just by religion, but by medicine, culture, school, media—into believing that there’s a “right” way to Be. But we each have our own energetic fingerprint of Be-ing. It can’t be replicated, and it doesn’t need to be improved upon to be valid.

Institutions have told us how to Be, what to Be, when to Be.
And for what?

  • Religion hasn’t gotten us closer to peace.

  • Medicine hasn’t made us more alive.

  • Culture hasn’t made us more connected.

Instead, we’re exhausted, striving, constantly measured against ever-moving yardsticks of worthiness.

I believe it’s time to take back our personal right to Be.


Your Unique Be-ing

Just as no two fingerprints are alike, neither are two states of Be-ing.

So why are we looking outside ourselves for how to Be?

Let’s explore the reasons—and unlearn them.  Let’s Be Real!

Let’s return to the sacred truth that no other Be-ing on this planet can ever duplicate who you are.


The WTF List of Be-ing

A little list of contradictions and expectations we’ve absorbed:

  • Be patient

  • Be kind

  • Be this

  • Be more like…

  • Be less like…

  • Be childlike

  • Be smarter

  • Be quieter

  • Be the change

  • Be better

  • Be the best

  • Be, be, be…

Exhausting, isn’t it?


Letting Go to Be

The art of Be-ing requires the art of letting go.

Letting go of definitions.
Letting go of conditioning.
Letting go of being measured.

So… what does that mean?

That’s where we begin. That’s where you begin.

Just Be.

To Feel the Real is to Find the Self

To Feel the Real is to Find the Self

To come home to ourselves, we must first get real—with our truth, our tenderness, and our tangled emotions. Getting real makes space for feeling, and feeling reconnects us to the Self that’s been waiting beneath the surface.

Voice. Vitality. Vision.

Voice. Vitality. Vision.

When we reclaim our voice, we revive our vitality and remember our vision. This is the return to your unfiltered self—honest, alive, and aligned.

To Bee or Not to Be

To Bee or Not to Be

What if the question isn’t “to be or not to be,” but to bee or not to be—to exist with presence, purpose, and quiet contribution like the honeybee, without needing proof of worth? Maybe the answer lies not in thinking more, but in being more—simply, and fully.
