CORE VALUES

RESPECT

...yourself, your health, your body, people in your life who choose a different way of living, animals, the planet...everything and everyone.

COMMITMENT

...to your goals; follow through; give 100%; do things within your present capabilities; work hard and you will achieve.

HONESTY

...comes with respect for yourself and others; respect privacy; trust; ethics.

INTEGRITY

Adhere to the highest standards professionally and personally; always give your best in every situation regardless of how another person might react; an eye for an eye doesn't always work and creates long-term damage; choose the higher road in any conflict.

LOVE AND COMPASSION

Put yourself in other people's shoes no matter who they are and what they have done and what they have done to you.

KNOWLEDGE AND GROWTH

Challenge yourself by questioning what you know (to be true); welcome new perspectives and be open to them; we resist change but when we accept change, it can be truly liberating; enter a different state of consciousness; make choices that make the world a better place for everyone and not just a chosen few; be self-informed and self-aware.

LESS IS MORE

Avoid over-indulgence; limit spending and waste; check for excessive packaging when buying material goods; learn to go without; simplicity in life will create abundance for everyone.

HUMILITY

Learn from your mistakes; arrogance and guilt tactics never solve the problem and are usually remembered forever; blaming others is our way of avoiding change within ourselves; hating on you becomes hating on others.

PASSION

Live each moment; listen intently; appreciate everything!!

FAITH

Believe in yourself; believe you have a lot to offer the world; there is no room for doubt even in the worst of circumstances when humankind's heart is closed, your faith is unyielding. Whatever happens, avoid resistance, and it will lead to good in ways we sometimes can't/won't see.

"Anything essential is invisible to the eyes." Antoine St. Exupery's beautiful words from The Little Prince.

May all the people who have passed along their messages of peace and compassion and who have passed away rest in peace. May the memory of their commitment to COMPASSION live on in all of us who seek a better life for all.
