My Annual Detox: Releasing, Letting Go, and a Comprehensive Food-Life Cleanse

Hurt, Healing, and Practicing True Forgiveness

“The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.” ~ Marianne Williamson Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about forgiveness. I think everyone has had relationships (from friendship to family to romantic to work) that have left them feeling broken or feeling a bit ‘incomplete’, because for whatever reason the [...]

Growing up, Martin Luther King, Jr. and I would often share a birthday, and I felt a special connection to him, and not just because I got the day off. His words struck me; even in my grammar school days, I remember hearing his speech and being curious why he had to say he had [...]

Morning Morning Get Up & Sing: What Faith Can Do

No Comments 02 January 2012

This year, instead of making a resolution, choose to take your true dreams out of hiding. Write your dreams down. Speak them aloud. Share them with others. Your spirit will awaken, and you will be who you were born to be – I know that person is so much more than a number on the [...]

Soar is one of my favorite words. Here’s my definition if it: Soar – Like a bird flying. To Soar seems effortless, but really learning to fly is one of the most painful, strenuous things a living creature must endure.

I love Thanksgiving- it is my favorite holiday! The turkey is in the oven, and it smells so good.
