Solid as a Rock, Yet Flowing Like Water

People often ask me what Rooted Living is really all about. The best way for me to describe it is to refer to this metaphor; it’s like being as solid as a rock yet being able to flow like water. Being rock solid refers to understanding where the roots of your decision making comes from. Knowing the values and beliefs that drive your ability to steer your life in the places you wish to go. It’s being aware of your talents and the gifts you enjoy giving to others. It's about understanding your contribution to life and being able to give it.

The ability to flow like water refers to your continued ability to move with whatever is presented to you. Being able to remain open to other peoples opinions, experiences, and honoring what they have to give and where they are in their life. It’s being able to adapt to changes in your life; to let things come and go as they please while drawing from your solid roots to move you through each experience.
