Life has been a winding road for Margo and I the last few years. I feel that in many ways our experiences, obstacles and insights have brought this Sacred Birth Certificate program TO US. Not the other way around. This program found us; in all the ways that we started wanting to express the BIGNESS […]

I had sorta a strange weekend of taking care of my 17 year old self. Wait, who? It all started with a dream that I had about one of my amazing oboe teachers. She was/is such a female role model for me; a determined, smart and talented woman in the still very heavily male world […]
