Happy To Want Less

– Posted in: Beca’s Blog

Once upon a time, a coach I was working with told me I could be another Tony Robbins.  I said, no. I had no desire to be the person who I would have to become to do that.  He didn’t understand, and not long after that told me he couldn’t work with me anymore. Well, [...]

Nature’s Beauty Of Diversity

– Posted in: Beca’s Blog

While walking one morning, I had a magical experience. As I turned the corner onto the next street, the world went silent. Not nature. The world. I made no sound. My feet were silent. My breath was silent. It was if the person I call me wasn’t there. I was a camera moving through the [...]

I read books, watched movies, went [...]

– Posted in: Beca’s Blog
