Lean Into It
The games of cynicism, pessimism, guilt, and shame are some of the most popular games we are sold. And for those who choose to play them, they’re the only game in town. Finger pointing is the only cost to play. And who can’t afford that?
But they don’t have to be your games.
Actually, you can leave the world of games altogether and enter into the beautiful realm of experience.
And this experience will give you the opportunity to risk being seen.
The risk is being seen as your True Name. The Name you came here with and the Name you’ll leave with.
Love.
Now you will always have new windows to look into and out of, a variety of lenses to observe with, and a kaleidoscope of meaning to breathe the world in and out with.
Lean into love.
Scoop it up with all of your being.
Swim with it.
Soak it in.
And then offer it back as gift.
Only in this risk will you step into what you were originally whispered to be.
Original > Copy
There’s never been another you. To own that reality is a choice.
It’s also choice to become a replica of what has already been.
Nevertheless, in all of our individual originality, we do all rhyme with Love.
One love…in billions and billions of never-before forms.
This is our story.
This is our song.
Episode 29: Give-A-Goat with Scott Panella
In 2013, Scott Panella and his family traveled to Uganda to add two boys to their numbers. While there, Scott and his wife Meg saw a great need and realized they could do something about it. Give A Goat was born out of the idea that a single goat can change an entire family. The first goat given, Brownie, was met with tears and laughter. In Uganda, goats are more than a four legged creature–they symbolize hope. Give A Goat believes in something deeper than simply handing a family or organization a piece of livestock; Give A Goat aims to serve the group by providing housing, fencing, food, medical care, and education.
Scott joins us in Episode 29 at Let The Music Play Podcast and shares his beautiful story of finding his true self, building a business that is bigger than just the work of his hands, and how he is making the world a better place.

What would I tell my younger self?
Today? This…
Point and call out beauty everywhere you see it. Do the same for the truth and good that finds you and that you find.
Celebrate the success of others.
Don’t dam your tears.
Meaning > Money.
Pause by orchids.
Always assume positive intent in digital communication.
When you can, make time to prepare your meals.
Busy and efficient are not the same.
Be.
Love is the engine of the universe.
Oh…and it’s going to be ok.
