Honoring the Journey of Others
Honoring the journey of others allows them an opportunity to own their decisions without outside interference. While it is tempting to interject your will onto others as they navigate their own pathways, it disempowers their discernment.

Weaving Your Sliver into the Universal Fabric of Us

Therefore, being mindful of how we refer to individuals and groups of people emerges as our individual and collective responsibility...
Whack-a-Molers: Stealing the Joy out of Life
Embracing positivity materializes as a slippery slope. On the one hand, the avoidance of addressing negativity or deep-seeded pain manifests into toxic positivity.
