#59 Small Town, Big Feels

In a small town, the universe feels so big. In a big city, the universe feels so small. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons why some desire so strongly to live in the city. To be in the know… to have everything right at the touch of their fingertips. To feel like, this is IT!

I love that feeling. And I love big cities. But I also love the sense of wonder that comes with looking up at a sky full of stars with just a couple of street lamps in the way of the vast, speckled darkness. The feeling of being tucked away in a little nook of the world, far removed from the activity.

Silence and stillness permeate the air. Isolation nags at the back of the being as the realization that not only is the town far out, but this planet is relatively speaking, just a speck of dust in the ether.

Confining on one hand. Liberating on another.

#18 - Wiring and Firing Together

A company that wires together, fires together. A little play off Joe Dispenza’s concept of neuronal activity. It is essential for information to be flowing across an organization at all times. Information designed and shared in such a way that it is aligning people towards the mission or vision of the company. Information is energy, and the energy must be flowing in order for the parts of the business to be connected, and collaborating with each other towards the common goal. This is what company health looks like. Company disease is when there is a void, that is consuming the attention of everyone, trying to figure out what is going on and where the company is headed. The story must be provided. In this way, people can then focus their time and energy on living their story, and playing out their own role in the grander narrative they’re a part of. To be aligned with the story of the company is to be aligned with the source of energy, the fire, the light that keeps the company on and moving forward. This is what transformation looks like. When the story is activated and is pulsating across the organization. It is the fabric of the culture, the foundation of the future. It must be identified and aligned with, communicated and expressed, in order for people to attune their own frequencies to that of the company. This is when connections happen, when there is an understanding that takes place, a harmonizing of frequency, and and interweaving of life force, story and purpose.
