July 24, 2025 - Hacking Kindness

For various reasons, being kind doesn’t come naturally to everyone. Some discover in their own time, the joy and inner peace that is created by simply speaking and acting with mercy and compassion towards others. If your dial is set to kindness, rejoice! Your work is sacred and your reward is far greater than you can imagine. If your kindness is conditional or hit or miss, there is still hope. Like anything else, it can be learned and cultivated. Faking it until you feel it is far better than being met later with the destructive energy that is conjured up as the ego’s prisoner. The more we expose ourselves to the essence of our higher selves, the more we begin to recognize and reclaim our inner light.

When we lead with kindness, with every encouraging word and gracious act, we are giving someone the world. Kindness creates a holy clearing, for two or more hearts to commune in fellowship. Kindness is the silken ribbon that lovingly connects soul to soul.

FREEDOM DECLARATION:
I am kind and compassionate by default and my life is richly rewarding.

July 23, 2025 - Keep Dancing

Spiritual evolution is a process that occurs over lifetimes, and every discovery we make along the way is a significant leap for the soul. We are continuously sifting and sorting through information that is given to us, our own experiences, and our convictions about the totality of it all. Whatever resonates deeply is where we are supposed to be at any given time, even if it opposes the idea of personal growth altogether.

Many of us experience internal conflict and anxiety around the idea of bettering ourselves because we are looking for ten step methods for a process that was never intended to be encapsulated or rushed. This is why there is always something new that can be discovered in sacred religious and spiritual texts after centuries of study. We don’t have to have all the answers. Hearts that are open to the enormity of love’s power and potential, and eyes that are willing to observe The Dance deeply, naturally become one with it.

July 22, 2025 - Your Heart

Beauty is a nutriment for the senses that eventually fades away. Beauty's beauty is a feast for the soul that endures for eternity. Outer beauty diminishes, but beautiful hearts are never forgotten.

July 21, 2025 - Bit by Bit

Sometimes the progress that can only be measured in micro amounts leads to our biggest breakthroughs. While hungry minds fuel discontent, our hearts hold the line. They hold space for every victory, no matter how grand or small and every single setback, no matter how hard we fall.  For this unwavering devotion our hearts have one tender request: Please do not deny me the joy of witnessing your sunrise.

So often success is measured by performance and output, and behind every achievement there is a soul that seeks the simplicity of peace and being. Please be patient with yourself. You are the glory of life unfurling.

FREEDOM DECLARATION:
I am included in the compassion that I generously give.

July 20, 2025 - Lost & Found

We are found, not when the puzzle is complete, but from the moment we discover that we were lost. ...And so begins the work of restoring and fine tuning the navigation system. It's okay to part ways with the One who is afraid and lean in fully. Our hearts never lead us astray.

July 19, 2025 - Tomorrow

Give tomorrow to the wind,
to be carried up to the heavens.
By the hand of grace you shall rise,
a miracle of creation.

Tomorrow is a projection—a closely held belief in the storylines we create. Some narratives are full of all the wonderful things that make life worth living, and some are full of hopelessness and energetic holes. Yet, there are countless variables that determine how we may actually experience the gift of tomorrow, and this awareness is humbling. It is a reminder of how delicate life is, and how in every second, minute and hour there is always something to savor.

We experience the fullness of life, and we feel the perfection of grace when we can hang our hats on tomorrow and marvel at the wind that carries it.

FREEDOM DECLARATION:
I am grounded in gratitude and cradled by grace.

July 18, 2025 - Today

Give today to the water,
to heal, cleanse and restore.
Rest your cares upon the waves
and embrace the ebb and flow.

Going with the flow takes on a whole new meaning when we are intentional about putting it into practice. It is non-resistance applied to life, not only when it is easy, but also in situations that test our resolve. “Practice” is important because we don’t always get it right. Rather than another self-help skill to master, it is a feeling to seek out and embrace as we dance with life. It is moving with the current, riding the waves and returning when we recognize the futility of swimming in the opposite direction.

No matter how we present ourselves to the world, contentment and balance are what our hearts desire. This is why coastlines and views from above are vacation and relaxation destinations of choice for millions. We are seeking attunement with our higher selves who are already one with the rhythms of creation, and these are poetic places of remembrance and portals for reclamation and return. The good news is, we don’t have to wait for the opportune time or the perfect location to feel this ease. Just like the waves, it is imprinted in every intentional breath and every act of peaceful surrender.

July 17, 2025 - Yesterday

Give yesterday to the fire and its ashes to the earth.
She will transform them into fertile soil,
where life begins anew.

When yesterday consumes us, the glory of today evades us and the joy of living loses color. But notice that yesterday's clouds don't stop the sun from rising and shining, seemingly brighter than ever before. Just as storms cool and hydrate the earth, our storms quench an indelible flame in the soul that is eager to grow. Be it positive or negative, yesterday is a passionate reminder to unwrap the gift of today.

July 16, 2025 - Faith Through Fog

The fog is the test. Fortitude is the skill. Faith is the answer, and trust is peaceful surrender to a plan that we cannot conceive.

FOG: Confusion / Lack of Direction / Lack of Motivation / Depression / Hopelessness / Fear of Missing Out / Fear of Standing Out / Low Self-Worth / Hopelessness …

FORTITUDE: Proceeding in spite of the fog, with humility and quiet assurance that in time, it will lift.

FAITH: A willingness to dance with destiny, even when we do not lead.

TRUST: Patience and mindful awareness - a delicate balance between intentional action and gracious acceptance of both the miracle and the mystery.

FREEDOM DECLARATIONS:
1. I navigate life with courage and confidence, and I lead with love.
2. I honor and trust divine timing in my life.

…All is well.

July 15, 2025 - Live Your Joy

When time stands still, the mind rests, the heart softens and the nervous system follows. The sources of our joy and peace capture us effortlessly and hold us gently because they are aligning us with something greater. By all means, do that thing that makes your heart sing. Sometimes getting lost is actually being found. It is a return to the still point that anchors us and embraces us at the same time.

July 14, 2025 - Sacred Rhythm

There is growth potential in every climb and quiet victory in integrity. Let every challenge and triumph reveal both the harmony of being and the holiness of becoming.

July 13, 2025 - Acceptance 

Nature has nothing to prove or disprove. It sings, dances, rages and weeps for its own edification. Let the truth within your heart always be sufficient.

July 12, 2025 - Peace or Strife

Peace is a universal desire but not all have the mental and emotional capacity to create and sustain it. There are some who have mistaken power, authority and control for peace because they are disconnected from what makes us sentient beings, the heart.

We have seen time and time again how catastrophic ego-driven conflict is, yet we endorse it in small and large ways with the everyday choices we make. Now is the time for clarity and conscious cocreation of the life we desire. Now is the time to:

REMEMBER that we are better together - take action to remove mental and emotional blockages.

RISE in reverence to the heart of humanity - speak, teach and be love.

RECLAIM the right to live and thrive in perfect peace - radical choices and undeterred voices are catalysts for life altering change.

July 11, 2025 - Fear or Love

A life lived in a constant state of fear is hardly living. Fear has many debilitating and destructive faces, and it ultimately keeps us in chaos and survival mode. Survival mode triggers anger, hate, hostility, jealousy, self-doubt, deceit, manipulation, paranoia, defensiveness, distrust and more. It blinds us to the beauty that an unchained life brings.

A life anchored in love activates the sacred exchange of giving and receiving. Love thrives and multiplies where there is kindness, caring, compassion, devotion, self-acceptance, faith, loyalty, vulnerability, honesty, forgiveness, peace and joy. These energies create space for a life that feels boundless and free.

Free will affords us the opportunity in every moment, to choose between fear and love. The simplest way to do this is to align with what feels better—not just in the moment, but what fuels an eternal flame in the heart. For many of us this requires practice and patience…but the most captivating and inspiring things in life are the fruit of unyielding devotion.

July 10, 2025 - Intention of Being

Self-awareness frees us from the prison of unworthiness and awakens us to a world of possibilities for our lives. This knowing is fleeting and ungrounded when it relies on external sources. When it comes from within it is unshakable.

No matter the circumstances of our arrival or the toughness of the journey, we are not here by chance. We are each dynamic details in the grandest of all designs. Nature's melody is sublime and simple:
Please never doubt your belonging.

When self-doubt creeps in, affirm:
I am worthy by birthright.
My presence has divine purpose.

Repetition conditions the mind to align with what the heart and soul already know.

July 9, 2025 - Your Higher Self Wants You To Know

Chaos, inner conflict and confusion are energetic residue that lingers from experiences that are intended to help us grow. When we idendify solely with the Self that knows life through the five senses, this life and everything in it becomes the law that governs our existence. The Higher Self sees through clearer, brighter lenses, thus knows the truth of who we are:

1.We are here to love and be loved.
2. Our distinctions are divine creations.
3. Our tests and trials don't define us. They refine us.
4. Our souls have permission to sing and soar.
5. Our peace is wrapped in this kowing.

July 8, 2025 - Purr More

A roar that is bound up in pride successfully takes up space. It becomes a healing purr
when we choose to hold space. The heart discerns the difference and eagerly seeks balance.

July 7, 2025 - Petals

Petals fall graciously and faithfully to make way for brilliant new blooms. They surrender in honor of the wisdom of perfectly timed seasons. Perhaps what we deem to be incomplete, in a season or even a lifetime, is an expression of heavenly perfection that is simply misunderstood. Gift yourself the same grace that is bestowed upon all creation.

July 3, 2025 - Soul Evolution In a Nutshell

The highs and lows of life are rich with growth potential. It doesn't matter whether our experiences break us apart or break us open. There is something in them that our souls need and life makes it happen.

While we categorize and label our experiences for context, our souls do not discriminate between good and bad. They accept what we feed them as pathways to peace. They prioritize growth over stagnation and eagerly seeks harmony and  balance. While there are countless ways we can get there, resistance and hardening delay our arrival. These are typical byproducts of an overactive mind. When we temper the mind and remain heart centered, we can efficiently and effectively integrate our experiences as fuel for transformation, and empower ourselves as spiritual alchemists and architects of our most fulfilling lives.

When we are broken apart, this one prayer initiates healing and ignites our transformation:
Please show me the way to perfect peace.

When we are broken open, this simple prayer keeps us attuned to perfect peace: Thank you.

June 25, 2025 - 3 Pillars of Global Peace

The most peaceful nations don't trend in the news and it is likely that they do not care to. They quietly build foundations that preserve their tranquility while other nations struggle to find it. We cannot be double minded about peace if it is what we truly want on a global scale. It begins with the recognition that we all, as one collective heart, desire and deserve it. 

1. Peace is not blinded by power and control. Peace sets it’s sights on the greater good. The greater good is a foreign concept to blinded eyes and hardened hearts. Thus, his-story continues to repeat itself and the masses cease to evolve. Life is a most patient teacher and our collective experiences continuously reflect our collective consciousness. Our choices as individuals matter because we are divisions of One. Every word and action either affirms and aligns us with love or fuels the engine of fear (hate/greed/manipulation/control, etc.). Peace begins in our own hearts before it can echo far and wide.

2. Peace does not seek to devalue and destroy. Peace is fully committed to building solid bridges. If it isn’t all-inclusive, it is.not.peace. It is conditional proximity to peace undergirded by self-serving agendas. Every malicious act committed by humans, against humans further solidifies existence in a reality that is dense and heavy with unresolved spiritual lessons. It doesn’t matter whether we instigate or justifiably retaliate, the lesson is still the lesson. When the heart is at the center of any matter, proactive mitigation, mutual innerstanding and cooperation is always possible and much less costly.  

3. Peace is not preoccupied with strategic positioning. Peace merely seeks to prevail. Nature demonstrates over and over again that there is more than enough for us all on this amazing planet, and our diversity in race, religion, culture and creed add color to life and joy to living. Our ingenuity and cooperation can take us further than any organized conflict ever will. Scarcity and fear are by-products of systematic programming. The feeling of being cradled by the abiding presence of peace requires us to tune in to it fully and make choices that demonstrate it in every area of our lives.  

These three pillars of world peace invite three questions for personal consideration:

  1. Will my actions move me closer to or further away from peace? From parenting to unspoken biases, every corner of life deserves this examination.
  2. Is my heart engaged in my decisions? The heart tempers the mind  when granted participation in life decisions.
  3. What can I do to affirm my solidarity with global peace? Every individual action builds momentum towards large-scale shifts.

Peace is a verb that is ripe with possibility. Imagine how the world would shift if we made PEACE and LOVE the foundation of every decision rather than allowing our minds to be manipulated into conceding to chaos and tyranny. Peace needs our unwavering commitment in order to prevail.

June 19, 2025 - Higher Love Changes The Game

If life feels strange in ways that are felt but difficult to define, you may be sensing a monumental energetic realignment that is unfolding worldwide and impacting every aspect of life as we know it. From glaring social and political unrest to dramatic occurrences in nature, *there is an active shift that is occurring in order to bring much needed balance and progress into fruition. As the veil between the spiritual and physical worlds becomes thinner, the polarities between darkness and light are becoming more apparent. The escalating tension and turmoil that has resulted from our attempts to blend and co-exist will soon be eased. Rather than competing for space and straddling the fence to stay afloat, by recognizing and returning home to our True Selves, we are actively creating new realities where all can experience life on the frequency of their choosing.

While those who are gripped by the strongholds of evil and darkness will prey and feed off of one another, those who embody the frequency of love will expand and usher in a brilliance of being that we have never before witnessed or experienced. This is not a new concept. Momentum is building to reestablish sacred truths that have been buried beneath layers of sophisticated manipulation and spiritual corruption.

Radical shifts require us to make radical choices. We all, as unique expressions of One, have the option to continue to fuel fires that enable evil to thrive and ultimately fall, or put earthly burdens to rest, tap into The Wellspring and taste heaven on earth.* These shifts are already happening in real time, and the public dissent and breakdown of corrupt power players and systems is glaring evidence. We have nothing to fear and everything to look forward to. With clarity about who we are and unwavering commitment to what we stand for, we are continuously aligning ourselves with other souls and life experiences of the same resonance. We are called to remember the healing power of love and allow it to lift us higher. 

June 14, 2025 - If Miranda Rights Were
Annotated By Angels:

You have every right to RISE and SHINE. Nothing you have been through disqualifies you. Life School is simply refining you. You have the right to defend your actions, though silent reflection is strongly encouraged. If at any time you become overwhelmed by fear and doubt, life will provide inspiration. It is your charge to return to your heart. For every struggle, be it public or private, your GLORY is fully supported.

June 11, 2025 - Release, Rise & Return

Mindset shifts can be instantaneous when when we hear the right words or when inspiring moments present themselves, but in many cases they are intentional and actionable mental adjustments that we make to challenge our limiting beliefs and help us to experience life in more fulfilling ways. We can make these adjustments at any time, and we don’t have to fully believe new narratives when we introduce them to ourselves. All we have to do is insist that they are real and be persistent when older, less productive thought patterns, beliefs and behaviors arise. This intentional shaping of the mind informs life all around us, much like a river’s current and flow shapes its bank.

Positive mindset shifts soften angst when outcomes are uncertain. This helps us to remain centered and assured, much like the ease of dandelion seeds that float gracefully towards possibilities that are endless. They enable us to naturally build upon our existing strengths as we self-identify areas within that need our TLC and encouragement, just as plants that need more light harness their energy to grow towards the sun.

Our mental agility has the potential to be our saving grace in self-induced storms. It helps us to brighten our outlook towards ourselves and others, in spite of our fears and our wounding. Productive shifts also engage and influence compassion of the heart by helping us to see the best in everyone, even when they are not at their best. They compel us to hope for the best for everyone as we do for ourselves and our loved ones, so that we are not disappointed when they rise in their own glory rather than living down to our jaded expectations. Nature’s abundance continuously demonstrates in miraculous ways that there is more than enough for us all, and that we are the All. It reminds us that we each hold within us the keys to our liberation. With open eyes and willing hearts, we cannot help but to see.

June 9, 2025 - Choose Joy

When you’ve made it through the storms of many lifetimes rolled into one, you come to know a thing or two about Gratitude and Grace. You know that the grace that held you when you were asleep to its presence is the same grace that will never leave you. …So the gratitude you give when rewards are plentiful becomes the same gratitude given when you are blinded by the fog. When gratitude outgrows the words you have to describe it, Joy is inescapable. While you know that life wouldn’t be life without highs and lows, you become centered in your awareness that you are the manager of your default settings and joy for the sake of joy becomes a priority. You cherish its presence in the little things, quickly release trivial things and take no-thing for granted.

Hardships are not meant to be held indefinitely. When we navigate life with optimism and joy, by energetic command of our presence, we are seducing life to produce more of it. So in all of your doing, lead with joy. Live wholeheartedly in the center of joy, and when sorrows arrive let them cleanse you and entice you to return. Even a lifetime of adversities is no match for undeterred joy. It uses our sorrows as fire starters to ignite an eternal flame in the soul.

June 5, 2025 - Heart Over Matter

Invitations to shift from fear to love, mind to heart, are all around us and many times they are packaged as inconveniences or impositions. We have become so fixated on movement and achievement in our own storylines that often we don't even notice how disconnected we are from our interconnectedness. The driver in front who drives too slow and chooses not to run the light so we can't either is not an adversary. They are a reminder. The wayward person who pleas for help on the roadside is not a failure. They are a martyr. The willful child who challenges also teaches, and there is more to the person in the mirror than the triggering internal narratives that play on repeat.

Whenever the opportunity presents itself, try letting go of life’s details and gazing at the horizon. As the mind becomes quiet, we begin to soften. Eventually you may notice that the heart speaks in its native language without ever uttering a word, and the mind spews fear driven rhetoric before considering the language of the heart. Slowing down awakens us to a clearing where love’s highest potential lives.

June 4, 2025 - Better Together

It’s fascinating how trees in tight places make space for one another’s roots and branches. They gift each other with the grace needed to grow, even when it means that one acquiesces while another stretches. When they are wounded or where there is friction, they merge and grow together as a means of protection. Instinctively they know that they are better together, and that in their uniquenesses there is still unity. The righteous One does not live or long for the honor of being right, or first, or biggest or best. They covet the promise of brand new horizons and cherish the golden nuggets that they discover on The Path.

In nature there is so much to learn by simply observing The Dance, wandering, wondering and softening to its expression. The takeaways are not always profound. Sometimes all we need is to be renewed and reminded that there is no separation.

May 28, 2025 - Simplicity Speaks

Living in harmony is deceptively simple, but we sabotage our own well being in countless ways via the trickery of the mind. So often unsettled minds operate from scarcity which binds us into patterns of overthinking, overdoing and overachieving. The good life, that is feeling a deep sense of contentment and satisfaction, wants us as much as we want it. Through trial and plenty of error, I have learned that an immense amount of letting go is required in order to achieve this state of being and I remind myself often. The good news is, each of us is in full control of how fast or slow we attain sustainable balance, and if we attain it at all. Here are ten super simple life balancing formulas that actually work when put into practice. 

  1. To feel ease, savor each moment. So often emotional tumult is rooted in past experiences or fears of the future. Neither exists in the present. What we feel now is what is real, and we write the future with our thoughts and intentions.
  2. To feel abundance, appreciate everything. When we are in a constant state of gratitude, we forget about what may be lacking. Best of all, giving thanks is a magnetic invitation for our desires to materialize.
  3. To feel belonging, look to nature. Nature reveals interconnection that seekers may not fully grasp from social circles alone. Nature is a feast for the senses and a healer of the human spirit.
  4. To feel assured, trust your gut. Confidence is born from belief in the “something told me..”  that our minds often oppose. When the Higher Self speaks, it is compelling us listen in order to stay aligned.
  5. To feel accomplished, follow your heart. When titles, accolades and achievements are not in sync with our deepest desires, satisfaction may be short lived while longing persists. The heart is a faithful compass when we allow it to lead the way.
  6. To feel safe, protect your peace. Prioritizing our physical, mental and emotional wellness may require us to restructure our lives in ways that are not understood externally. Soul care does not require outside approval, and higher love is all inclusive. It sees its own reflection in yes and no.
  7. To feel worthy, accept duality. Perfection has no resting place in the pursuit of self-mastery. When we have no reference of falling, we forfeit our desire to rise.
  8. To feel freedom, be authentic. Being fully and freely ourselves in a hypercritical world may be the hardest thing we’ll ever do, and the rewards will also be the sweetest. Our sincerity enables life’s poetry to sing of our legacy.
  9. To feel loved, become love. Regardless of the circumstances of conception and birth, by nature, we are love. We are living examples of love’s alchemy, but by choice we are light. Glow with good intention and life responds favorably, with reverence for your devotion.
  10. To feel joy, smile. A smile reminds us that we are safe and secure in the present moment, regardless of what is happening around us. It may seem much too simple because we have evolved to anticipate extended struggles.

Breathe and rest easy. Our lives were not meant to feel like a never ending climb.

May 25, 2025 - L0vE + LoVe = L0VE

In case you have never been told,
in case you were told and never believed it,
if for whatever reason, you just don't feel it,
here's the purest truth of you:

God = Love
Love = The Expression Of All Life
You = A Unique Expression of Life
God - Lives and Breathes Through You, a Divine Creation
You = Love

By matter of heavenly perfection you are love.
The only separation is the distance we create.

May 23, 2025 - Shade, Fire, Sun

Unwarranted and unprovoked hate actually isn't hate at all. It is a semi-conscious response to triggers, from hearts that need healing and minds that need a safe place to rest. When we become keen observers we realize that whether the trigger is in a message or the messenger, it is a firestarter. Sometimes wildfires rage and sometimes they smolder but eventually they surrender to stillness after wind and rain.

No matter the mission and regardless of position, our reason for being has already been written. We don't have to carry the weight of wayward travelers. They too are on a holy mission. Breathe and rest easy in all of the shade and continue on your path. Shade is merely a filter for a sun that is ever present. You are the sun. Remember that sometimes others confuse hating you for loving you because they have yet to see the face of God within. Please do not douse fuel on a house that is already burning. The sun’s golden rays need only to shine the light of remembrance.

May 22, 2025 - Loneliness to Oneness

Loneliness is a state of mind, and one of the many faces of fear. Because abandonment wounds cut deep, so often we subconsciously deem ourselves to be incomplete. Then our choices in life are made from that frequency. We make them with confidence because we pine for the feeling of connection that we haven't been able to discover within our circles or ourselves.

Aloneness is a conscious merging of the mind and heart. Sitting with ourselves is an intentional act of surrender and self-preservation. It is where we finally stop running, where we learn to trust ourselves; where we trouble the water to find true meaning; and where we create space to love ourselves whole again and get on with the business of truly living.

Oneness is a state of being. It is a joyous return to the center of our very essence. It is where we add "be" to our longing and savor the taste of freedom.  Oneness is where we discover the holiness in our heartbeats and the sunrise in our own eyes. Oneness is where we color our lives to complement our souls' desires.

When we heal the source of loneliness and surrender to aloneness, the workings of the mind are revealed, and the light of the heart casts down shadows to illuminate the Way of Oneness. We are whole and complete all by ourselves and nature informs us that our oneness is vast and expansive. 

May 20, 2025 - Faith and Flow

The tangible is more valuable than the unseen in the present-day, and that makes it more challenging to surrender to Trust. While our minds can overwhelm us with analysis paralysis and the need for indisputable proof, life is so affirming that it doesn't require us to have all the answers. It encourages us to have faith that the good seeds we have planted will yield abundantly when the time is right, and proceed with expectation. Life is eager to fulfill our needs and desires, and it invites us to passionately live it and honor the mystery of its unfolding with humility and gratitude.

Untamed resistance to the dance of life is counterproductive for souls that long to grow and spirits that are eager to soar. Accept the invitation and lean in with reverence. Life begins to feel like poetry when we soften to its unfolding and flow wholeheartedly with it.

May 19, 2025 - The Light of the Heart

Softness is considered a weakness when you have adapted to the plague of modern misalignment. Kindness is suspicious where callousness and cruelty are standard practice. ..But life speaks of simplicity: When we expect good things and sow good seeds, it  responds with more of the same. And when it doesn't, it is inviting and guiding us to discover deeper meaning, and reminding us to stay grounded in the center of our being.

Having a loving and compassionate nature is not a weakness. It is a fortress! The light in our hearts sanctifies lowly places and soothes the weariest of souls. It activates protection by a thousand unseen allies and levels the road beneath our feet. So live bravely from the heart and lean fully into love. Let your inner light be your guide and shield in the darkest of places, and your covering in the darkest of times.

May 18, 2025 - Trust the Dance

Our higher selves have the answers we seek but so often we doubt them. We doubt ourselves because we don't trust ourselves and we don't trust ourselves because we relinquish agency over our lives to external spiritual hierarchies. With deep reverence and respect for genuine teachers and leaders, it is also important to listen closely to the inner voice. Uncovering the treasures of life doesn't require us to shrink or shy away from it. The innermost thoughts and guided feelings that we often ignore are invitations to know ourselves deeper and discover what resonates with our souls. 

Anyone and anything has the potential to inspire profound awareness, so it's okay to be okay with life's teachings. Trust its poetry to continue to write rousing and passionate stories that stir our hearts and compel us to look beneath the surface and beyond the veil that separates us. We don't need permission. Conviction is more than enough. Conviction is the quiet whisper of worthiness and a gentle nudge of encouragement. By all mens, please remember that our transgressors are also teachers and our teachers are also seekers.

May 17, 2025 - The Waiting Room

In the waiting room we heal, we purge, we rest, we recover, we repent, we recharge, we forgive and we face the common denominator. We open our hearts, close painful chapters and rewrite endings. We seek, we remember, we release and we discover. abiding. peace. The waiting room is beautifully messy and gallantly brave.

The work in the waiting room is noble. It is where we tear down walls, pull weeds and plant bountiful gardens. Our time in the waiting room is an active prayer for restless and weary souls, and the process of returning home to ourselves cannot be rushed. How we arrive in the waiting room is far less significant than the cleansing we receive and the person we become as a result of being there. Honor the time in the waiting room like the promise of sunrise after tumultuous storms.

May 16, 2025 - Nature's Embrace

Who we perceive ourselves to be and what we believe we are capable of is often built on faullty foundations. When the desire for acceptance and belonging overshadows the soul's longing, we become grounded in comfort, safety and the good opinions of others.

Confirmation of our worthiness from fellow travelers is nice to have but not a must. Nature is a perpetual reminder that we, with all of our mud and glory, are a part of the grand design. The sun rises and sets, the moon glows and the stars sparkle each day in your honor. Look closely and you'll notice that life is literally dancing for you! Nature is an unconditional embrace that can never be taken away. 

May 15, 2025 - Sow Love

Higher love has the power to grow in the most unlikely places. It doesn't ask for much. Wherever there is an opening it will enter, and with minimal sustenance, it still grows. It is undeterred by harsh surroundings because it transforms barren places and uplifts lowly spaces. Love's potential lives wherever our feet are planted.
