When we give ourself beauty and meaning to live into rather than standards to live up to our days become wonder-filled, we walk in freedom, and we behold ‘aha’ after ‘aha’.
And then this gets even better when you offer this realm of possibility to those you’ve been entrusted and to those you lead.
In the end, we can’t give what we don’t have.
So move into beauty this week and then tell us what you found.
This is well worth your time.

What we look for we find.
If you want bad news, there’s plenty of it.
And if you want to experience some good news, you can find that too…if you’ll just look around.
I look and listen a lot and now I plan to start sharing what I’m finding, seeing, and hearing for you to enjoy and share in.
Yes! There is music amidst the noise and it’s good, it’s true, and it’s beautiful.

We need to profess some truth.
If today is just like last Monday, we’re going to go to sleep tonight frustrated, unengaged, unfulfilled, unsatisfied, and without joy.
And even worse, we might just wake up tomorrow with regret.
If we want a different day, then we need to look differently, take different steps, and create different action.
Have you tried empathy?
Have you accepted the law of process?
Have pursued plans b-z?
Have you owned your responsibility?
Same old same old is on me. It’s on you. It’s on us.
Transformation, identity, authenticity, change, perception, process, beauty, and time, these are the great mysteries that an artist seeks to dissect, understand, experience and somehow convey through their craft. When you experience the work of Kyle Steed this is precisely what happens…a universal truth within you is dissected, better understood, experienced, and conveyed. Known for his public mural works, Kyle always finds a way to change the space, the air, and the atmosphere of everywhere his work has a chance to be offered to the world.
Kyle joins us in podcast No. 80 as we talk about what it means to be human, his story of finding his path thus far, and the hope for his work in our beautiful world.
