There’s a movement happening. Have you felt it? It’s a shift in the way we live our lives – and as a culture are taking back our power in small ways individually, that are creating huge impact globally. It’s an awakening…  a recognizing… and it is so empowering. It’s a decentralization of power in our lives – to questioning the spoon-fed beliefs, needs and wants that have been created by a corporate-driven culture that feed our egos - to needs and wants that are driven from our individual needs and feed our souls.
Have you felt it?

Why? Community. Connection. Intimacy. Because we’ve learned that not knowing about where are money is, where our food comes from, and that we don’t know the people that are making decisions for us about our lives in government hasn’t worked.

One philosophy we have at Wise is that there’s always a good to a bad, a ying to a yang. Our job is to find it…

There is always an opportunity to treat yourself well, to expand your knowledge, to see the beauty around you, to know that this too shall pass, to create, to enrich, to appreciate.

This philosophy couldn’t be more real for me today, as I am sitting on the balcony of our hotel at Attitash Mountain on an absolutely crystal clear beautiful day. We come up this weekend every year to ski with friends and leave our children at home! No skiing for me this year since I’m headed to surgery in a couple of days to get my knee all fixed up...

Spring is in the air! Hopefully, you’ve had a chance in the last week to be outside and reconnect with the fresh air. It seems to be a bit early to be so warm here in New Hampshire. Hopefully that doesn’t mean that we’re in for a nasty reminder from Mother Nature of who’s in charge!
