Contrary to what our fast-paced world suggests, we don’t need to white-knuckle through life, packing in as much as we can! I think we often do that, because we have underlying feelings that we are not enough, and we have to do more and be more. But the reality is that we each are truly enough in God’s eyes, and we don’t have to prove a thing. Instead, we need to pull back a bit so we can choose with intention how to spend our precious days on earth—almost as if they are our last!

Achieving balance. It seems like a mystical magical goal, doesn’t it? Actually, it isn’t. But it just starts with you really understanding who you are and “whose” you are… You almost need to get a PhD in knowing yourself… So, it starts with a little bit of reflection…

Like many, the events of 2020 completely blindsided me! I kept thinking that there was no way this was happening. There was no way that the world was literally shutting down and that we were being told to stay home —indefinitely. The whole thing never sat right with me from the start…

Trauma can build up over time in our bodies, minds, and spirits. How can we recognize our pain, find forgiveness, and silence our inner critics to live our best lives?
