As young children, we naturally turn toward what feels alive and true \u2014 toward the light. Over time, that clarity can fade. Expectations form, and the light can become harder to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">I once read that when a sunflower is physically constrained and unable to move freely, it develops less fully and grows smaller overall. That image stayed with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">Looking back, I can see ways I became like a sunflower held in one direction \u2014 shaped more by expectation than by inner knowing. Learning to sense the difference has been gradual, a quiet process of listening and gently reorienting. This website is one expression of that turning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">You\u2019ll see the sunflower logo on every page of this site. For me, it\u2019s a quiet reminder: to stay oriented toward what brings light \u2014 and to trust that direction, even when it unfolds slowly and isn\u2019t easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This grew from a simple remembering: to turn toward what brings
