"We are never one thing: we are a conversation -everything we have been, everything we are now and every possibility we could be in the future." David Whyte

I am discovering what happens when you "change the conversation".

The conversation with yourself, with your loved ones, your colleagues, neighbours, community and friends. But also with people you barely know and may seem to have little in common with.

Everything is a conversation already and as David Whyte so beautifully describes in his poetry and his talks, the question is, will you face up to it?

As a parent, an entrepreneur, a yoga teacher, a partner and a citizen of the world I have given myself the magical mission of

"changing the conversation"

and writing about it. Speaking about it will be the next step.

Keeping in mind that we can no longer ignore the larger picture:

What is the conversation we need to stop having? and,

are we asking the right questions?

The answers require creative minds.
