Self Awareness
It all begins with AWARENESS
Awareness is the first step in the creation process. As you grow in the self awareness process, you will better understand why you feel what you feel, and why you behave as you behave.
This understanding then gives you the opportunity and freedom to change those things you would like to change about yourself and create the life you want. Without knowing yourself, self acceptance and change becomes impossible. Who is the expert?
When we want good, solid information we turn to the experts. So who are you going to turn to for information about yourself.
Who is the expert?

the expert is YOU.
You live in your own skin, mind and soul. 24 hours a day
7 days a week
52 weeks a year
Day in and day out
No one is closer to you than you.
The answers are within. We need to do the soul searching.
Perhaps all you’ve needed to solve your riddles is a useful question, to probe deep within.
