We’re blushing to think we actually inspired reader Elizabeth Pappas to write a poem about us. She says, “Even with a busy lifestyle, I carve out moments every day to read and write for pleasure. Reading and writing help me delve, clarify, strengthen and expand.” Check out her blog, A World in a Word, and see how it expands your own thought process. We have only one word for you, Liz: Thanks. 

Layers

On the surface you express your Style

Underlying that pizzazz is your Substance

At the core is your Soul


How do you express yourself to the world?
What’s trying to emerge?

Navigate your Style


What’s under the surface?

What brings meaning to your life?

Explore your Substance


What type of energy do you exude and attract?

What’s your internal compass?

Anchor with your Soul

    Wow Liz – it’s great. Really provocative – I’ll spend some time thinking of the answers to those questions. Very cool.
