It has taken me a long time to write this post. I originally had a different post written to share this week but in light of what has happened, I just can’t find it within myself to share a blog post about overcoming fear just yet. Because the truth is… I’m scared. In a way…

REVOLUTION: HOW TO FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN WITHOUT SACRIFICING YOUR HEART, YOUR SANITY, OR YOUR SOUL
I am mad. No, I am enraged. Fist clenching, teeth gritting, seeing red, about to blow…enraged. You might think that’s an odd way to start off a blog post on a page with peace and love in the title. But then, these are odd times. I typically try to limit my political posts or not…
The Girl Who Could See

The Antidote: How I Transformed My Relationship With My Best/Worst Frenemy

“I am afraid,” the little girl whispered, as she shuddered and backed away. “But whatever is there to be afraid of?” asked the old woman. The little girl could not see the old woman but could hear her voice as if from far away. “The dark…I am afraid of the dark”, the little girl replied.…
Blind (AKA The Power of Gratitude
“I think we are blind. Blind people who can see, but do not see.” – Jose Saramago What if I told you that you were visually impaired? It’s likely true, but not in the way that you think. I believe it is simply an aspect of the human condition that so many of us are…
Manifesto
In a world that is often consumed by fear I choose love In a world where increasingly possessions and wealth are held dear I choose love In a world where hatred starts senseless wars I choose love In a world where we’ve sometimes forgotten what we once stood for I choose love The bitterness, the…
