In this short video clip, Dr. Bruce Lipton and Dr. Wayne Dyer talk about how our perceptions don’t change our DNA—our perceptions change the readout of our DNA. Then that information goes in and affects the genes. Since we can create over 30,000 different variations from our original blue print, it’s easy to see that our…

Since Alex, my constant companion, has attended all of my presentations and workshops for the last four years, I decided that I needed to teach him how to scribble so we could do the I Create What I Believe!

Growth takes place because we are challenged and instead of running away, we step up and accept the…
I was in my twenties when I was first introduced to Contact Improv–an improvisational dance technique.
