You want to be the change…
You want to wake up filled with purpose, speak your truth, and create what your heart desires.
But when you step out of your comfort zone…
Your inner Mean Girl fills you with dread, worry and self-doubt.
She distracts you with dark chocolate, online shopping, red wine, binge-watching…
She demands that you be perfect. Good. Toe the line.
Check out this video:

COMMENTS about SPARK STORY:
Your story reminded me of what I want most – to be at home, in me.
– Isabel, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Your piece really moved me, caused a definite shift from before the story and after the story. I am not the same person.
– Amma Li Grace, Portland
It really got inside here, under my heart, and opened up some deep parts of me.
– Nina Von Feldmann, Seattle
I can relate to all your characters – the good girl, the workaholic, the rebel, and still wanting to keep your heart. Even from the beginning I started to cry, with the little girl. It’s very powerful.
– Milena, Scotland
We can all understand this. I want my daughter and my mother to see it.
– Chris Hille, Seattle
Your performance was a joy to watch, to see you, hear you, feel you. You spoke about all of us… I heard the sound of my soul.
– Patricia, Argentina
It’s absolutely brilliant! We are not so unique as we all think.
– Vickie Dodd, Sacred Sound Works, Washington
I really appreciated all the layers that you put on…every one of us resonates with that, and the unwinding. It’s a beautiful, beautiful thing.
– – M. Hoven, Polarity Therapist, New Mexico
It was very moving. Coming from a performing background, and having seen a lot of polished work that doesn’t always move you… when it’s real, it’s very palpable. Thank you.
– Joule L’adara, Sounding Circles, New York
This is my life story!
