Sometimes You Have to Surrender
Sometimes you have to surrender to your circumstances when you have no control over something. Maybe it is a season of something you have to go through or maybe it is a life event. And maybe you are going through a life event and more life events happen in the midst of them. These types… Read more

My Blog Writing Reflections So Far
In late December, I committed to writing a blog post every day. After 73 blog posts, I wanted to share some of the things I have noticed about the process and of myself. After reflecting on the process of writing, I have to say that I really enjoy it on most days. It is not… Read more

Practice Gratitude
This morning started as an atypical day. For some reason, I was bothered by everything while being out in the world. I had people driving really slow or riding on my bumper.

Transmute or Transcend the Past
After years of going with the flow (or grind) of life, I have made a conscious effort to slow things down and enjoy more simple things this year. I have recently caught myself pausing and just thinking without an agenda. So far the results have been mixed. Sitting in quiet and simplicity have helped me… Read more

Being vs Doing
As adults we are so obsessed about ticking things off our to-do list while ignoring the much needed rest that we need to stay sane. Today is a good day to try something else. Try sitting outside and doing nothing. When your mind tries to do something analytical, notice it and get back to just… Read more

Just Make a Decision
When it comes to decisions you have to make, it doesn’t take much to know how to proceed. Just get silent and listen to your intuition for guidance. Your intuition is never wrong. The hard part is to take the leap when your logic tries to talk you out it. Being indecisive about something is… Read more
