mission I believe that Intuition and creativity are the driving forces of transformation in our world. They bring us closer to the experience of genuine Being, and the wonder of existence ~ and are pathways to the Universal Truth that defines the human journey. They are often overlooked, or lost in the din of everyday life ~ or the accumulation of stuff and things ~ but they are always our saving grace, and will carry us forward to new frontiers.
