“What mode are you in tonight? We are like a car, holding a shifter. We could be in drive moving forward or perhaps neutral, burning gas but going nowhere. Some of us are even stuck in reverse. If you are in drive, what mode is your drive? Are you in “Beast” mode, running at hypersonic speed through life, high on cuban coffee, flushed with adrenaline, like a Lamborghini on a race track.

Tonight lets strive to meet in ‘Bliss More’ where you moving through life just fast enough, but not so fast that you missed all the miraculous beauty around you. With the windows down, music on and the wind blowing through you hair.”
