Self-Love Series (Part 4 of 4): Speak Life
The words we use to describe our life, ourselves, those who surround us, world events, and more, shape our experiences with them. Growing up in church, I regularly heard the quote from Proverbs 18:21, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” It wouldn’t be until many years later that I realized the power […]
Self-Love Series (Part 2 of 4): Forgiveness of Self
In part two of this self-love series, I’d like to touch on something that costs many of us our happiness and peace of mind on a daily basis: the inner critic. You know, the one for whom you never seem to be good enough. The one who is judging as you put just one more […]
A Call to Action from Dr. King
I have taken some time off from posting here to center myself and get clear on the vision for 2015. But, I had to come out of the darkness and into the Light today to share this powerful quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. For those who don’t live in the U.S., today is […]
The Way to Peace on Earth
As I write these words, I can feel the weight of my ancestors. Those ancestors who were forced to come to the United States as slaves, those who survived the most brutal treatment imaginable, those who were killed in a manner not unlike the recent police shootings of unarmed black men, those who fought for the […]
We are One
There are moments in our lives, where emotions are moving through so strongly that all we can do is pray. Last night was one of those moments for me. I couldn’t even find the words for prayer, so I just asked for Guidance in what I could say that might support the movement toward Peace. […]

As I was preparing to leave for an 11-day international trip this evening, I was inspired to record a quick video on the topic of taking the time to love yourself. I pray it is a blessing to you, and serves as a reminder of the importance of pausing and turning within. You deserve it! […]
Being Grateful for Everyone and Everything
I pray you had a wonderful weekend, and that this message finds you doing well. I just posted a new video on gratitude that was inspired by my son needing to come home from school today. I’ve written a number of times about the behavioral expressions of my son, as a major lesson in my […]
3 Tips for a Lasting Relationship
Last week, I shared some tips for loving yourself, and so many of you responded with gratitude. I’m so glad it resonated with you! I’ve been feeling an inner nudge to share some tips for lasting relationships, but I almost let excuses get the best of me. I planned to write this post yesterday, but […]
How to Love Yourself
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. At this time of year, we are inundated with the idea that love must be sought, or received, from without. We are shown images of couples wining and dining and surprising one another with gifts. We are flooded with advertisements for chocolates, candy, flowers, and restaurant discounts. But, […]
How We Can Heal the World
Today is the day we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Every year, around this time, I find myself reflecting even more on what I am doing to continue the legacy of those who came before whose Light shined so brightly in the world. This morning, I was reading through some quotes by Dr. Martin […]
