Forgiveness
Embodying the Divine
The memory of the time in my life when I was feeling stressed, out-of-balance, overwhelmed, worried about the future, resentful of past hurts, ashamed of my mistakes, annoyed with a number of people, and completely unsure of how to be at peace lies so vividly in my mind.

You Can’t Reap What You Don’t Sow
I was watching the movie The Lorax with my sons the other day, and have not been able to get the theme song out of my head. One of the lines in the song goes, “You can’t reap what you don’t sow.” As many times as we have watched the movie, I never focused on […]
Judgment-Free Challenge
When I got serious about walking in integrity with my spiritual path, the most difficult habit for me to release was judgment of others.

Time and time again, I hear people complain about negativity in their social media feeds.

A Lesson from the Ancestors
Over the past couple weeks, I have felt overwelmed by the Spirit of the ancestors. Almost daily, information has been rushing my way that led me to revisit some of the earlier historical appearances of the spiritual principles that have become so mainstream. The information that I was guided to review was primarily focused on Ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) Spirituality and African-American spirituality during slavery and the […]
The Fastest Way to Peace
Yesterday, I was doing some reflecting on the path to peace. I was pondering my own path, and thinking about friends and family that are currently struggling with finding peace in the various situations they are facing.

The Power of Choice
Over the past week, a message kept being sent to me through different people, situations, and even dreams. I didn’t recognize the central theme at first, but looking back at my journal entries for the past few weeks, I can see that each of the forms in which the message was revealed to me were […]
What Did I Do To Deserve This?
What did I do to deserve this? That is a question that plagues many of us when the worst happens in our lives. It’s a question that, I hate to admit, crossed my mind just last week, and during portions of this week. On Friday of last week, I wrote briefly on my blog Facebook […]
