What is the self?
Interesting and invoking question... Many of us jump to define ourselves through the external lens. While accurate to some extent, our job titles, physical body, interests, etc. still only brush the surface when describing our true self. To begin the journey of self-discovery is one of the most exhilarating and fulfilling adventures one can experience in this lifetime. As we cultivate deeper and more complex self-awareness, let us feel empowered to consciously release attachments,conditioning,limiting-beliefs that no longer serves us. All the while, may we stay true in finding authentic vehicles of expression that nourish us and fuel our fire. I invite you to join me as I continue to unravel the infinite layers of the "TT Onion". It is my personal promise to you, that I will be vulnerable, honest, and open in my journey towards self-realization. Through introspection, self-love, and openness, may we rediscover the delight of our own infinite magic and mystery. "Ever a work in progress, every bit worth the process" Below are some resources that I find useful along my journey of

ExpressionI believe giving ourselves permission to create and the courage to breathe life into the creative energy bubbling inside is an absolute necessity to touching the world with our unique beauty. Having an outlet to express oneself can be the catalyst for innovation, collaboration, and deepen the connection with our inner selves.
