Hope is All We Have
Disappointment over time creates limits on what we believe we can create in our lives. To compound the situation, social media depictions of others’ fortunes can lead to a focus on lack. What is not happening for you but is happening for others directs your attention to what is not there. Staying in that space only generates more of what you don’t want (lack). Rather, focusing on what you have...
Without Investment in Your Inner World, Your Outer World Will Crumble
Adjusting to adulthood proves to be difficult at some juncture in time. Some people transition well from college into their first job and new home while others struggle with new responsibilities. Many people hit midlife and begin to question their adulting decisions they made in their 20s. From the outside, it may appear that you effortlessly sailed across smooth waters in pursuit of your...
Everything Is Not Meant For You
Fraudsters use fool’s gold to pave the road from scarcity and lack to abundance and prosperity. They dangle promises of fairy-tale love, body perfection, and an endless flow of cash streaming into your life. IF, you hire them, takes their classes, and follow their formula to success, you can live the life of your dreams. Nonetheless, on some level, you realize this is a scam because everyone...
Reaching the Destination Changes Everything
When there is an impasse in your life that prevents you from moving forward, frustration and angst builds up inside of you. The part of you that seeks to manifest all of your desires may work overtime to bring something into form. Although certain barriers in life can never been removed, others have the ability to be overcome in order to reach new destinations. While many people hold...
Not All Shades of Gray Contain Silver Linings
Toxic positivity serves no purpose. Yet, many people hide in the rafters to bolster their need for constant optimism. While the shadows of life assist with growth and expansion, being in the dusk creates an uncomfortable existence. Hence, you sacrifice your comfort level if you sojourn in the dark space of your life although this space creates the most evolution. To avoid the awkwardness,...
How The Words Fall Upon Someone
As honesty falls from you lips, the sentiment may not be welcomed. For not everyone has the capacity to hear or to acknowledge the others’ frankness or insight. Discernment concerning who to speak with candor to and how to convey these messages to them arrives as a delicate walk on a tightrope. The balance of compassion with integrity while being forthright emerges on this slippery slope. But...
On The Quest To Achieve The Ultimate Martyrdom
No one wins the race when the need to suffer paves the way to the finish line. Accordingly, amplifying their own pain to negate others’ feelings, some set out to intentionally marginalize others’ experiences. As they cloak themselves in ultimate agony, the opening created for others vanishes. The resulting plight forges an impasse to holding space for others and their grief, which disconnects...
A Hidden, Broken Heart
Beneath the t-shirts that declare, “I was Born to Teach” and indicate the bold pride teachers feel about their vocation lies a hidden, broken heart. It is not something teachers advertise as readily as the apples with smiley faces that decorate their wardrobe. But, it's there. Heavy Hearts Much like pieces of old, sullied confetti, hearts of educators shatter into pieces...
The Gritty Reality of Public Education
Beneath the stare away from the social media lens lies a profound sadness that envelops the majority of educators in K-12 schools. As I read their posts online, sans serif fonts exhale their hopelessness onto me, temporarily blinded me with the gritty reality of public education that I can never forget. A Flickering Flame Within With each post I encounter, I tightly clutch...
Acknowledge The Dark
The past is a lighthouse to guide your journey not a port to dock your ship. Thus, if we allow the past to illuminate areas of growth, we honor our evolution as souls. Alas, when you anchor in the past rather than reflecting, your ascension stagnates. Your pathway to self-love through self-forgiveness can only unfold as you acknowledge the dark while seeking out the light. ...

“Today’s libraries are more than just places to house books. They can be central learning communities that are the storytellers of the school.” Beautifully written @ann177345

#FibromyalgiaAwarenessDay @iamKirstenT Much love my dear friend ❤️
You can’t usually see #fibromyalgia. My whole body would look bruised, like my hand if you could. Both hands are still bruised from my trip to A&E last wk. #ChronicIllness = lots of blood tests, making it v difficult to give blood now
