​WISDOM WHISPERER​
​

Why this whisper? This quote from Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”, challenges the spiritual bypass of diminishing our desires. When we allow ourselves to want more, to be more, to create more, we give others permission to do the same and shine our brightest light. Your expansion isn't a threat to others - it's an invitation for collective growth.

​
​Remember: The courage to want more isn't about dissatisfaction with what is - it's about honouring the part of you that knows what's possible.
