Failure and success
What experiences in life helped you grow the most? Failure has given me some of the most defining experiences of my life. It made me pause in my tracks, question my direction, and challenge the beliefs I once held with certainty. In those moments of disappointment, I was forced to confront what I thought I…

Not everyone deserves proximity to your purpose
They say that as we grow older, our circles grow smaller. And perhaps that is not loss, but refinement. Yes, I still mourn some friendships. It was never an issue of betrayal or brokenness, but rather distance, time, inevitable change, perhaps the quiet evolution of becoming. And so I hold the memories gently ; they…

I see you.
Maybe it’s not all of you, but I see a lot of you, more of you than you purpose to give. The joy, the smiles, the depth. I see the fire, the zeal, the intellect, the wisdom, the hustle, the grind, the power of your will. I see how you knock down walls, how you…

My little brother is my inspiration in this season….
…….and quite frankly, he is putting an indelible mark on me. This boy is 12. He has such a strong build for this age and thinks like he’s walked on this earth surface before. Some people get this while others don’t, as they voice observations that come off as completely indifferent to a child’s emotions.…

The same time will pass anyway
That thing you keep putting off, that thing that’s tedious and takes long… Your desire, a dream that now lingers in the back of your mind like a memory; it now plays like a movie you’ve seen before. It’s because you’ve imagined it so many times it feels like you’ve lived it. It will take…

No one can love you like you…
…cause no one knows you like you. No one knows the baby in you that needs soothing like you. No one has experienced your joy like you have, born your sorrow to its depth, seen life through your lenses, felt the longings of your heart, dreamed the dreams of your mind, lived the insecurities of…

Joy, be my guest
Come rushing like a hurricane, Come sprinkling like a drizzle, Come calming like a gentle breeze, Come blossoming like a flower, Come soothing like a healer, Come healing like a kiss, Come warming like a blanket, embracing like a hug, Come speaking hope like the good preacher professes, Come touching these dark hollow places and…

Take care of yourself
” Take care of yourself so that when the people you love fall, your arms will be strong” Jennifer Laurence You should be self full to the point of overflowing in order to reach, touch and bless others. I used to fear self love because I mistook it for selfishness. There is a difference between…

To dream
“Sometimes the ultimate dream is to be able to dream at all.” If there is anything a child should be given in their childhood and possibly to every adult daily on their lofe’s journey, it should be the space and the freedom to dream and the tools to act on their dream.

Self-care doesn’t mean that you’re selfish.
Self-care doesn’t mean that you’re selfish. It’s in fact the very opposite of selfish. The better you are at taking care of yourself; physically, mentally, spiritually, the better you will be at taking care of others. The more filled we are with self love and care, the more we are able to give of ourselves.…

You are powerful beyond measure.
One of my favorite quotes as a child was from the movie Akilla; “Your greatest fear is not that you are inadequate. Your greatest fear is that you are powerful beyond measure. “ ~A~ You have exactly what you need to do and be exactly who you should be – your truest self. It is…

Hope against cynicism.
There is nothing quite so sad as a young cynic; because it means they have moved from knowing nothing to believing nothing. Maya Angelou “To be sceptical is to say I’m willing to explore and learn and question. To be cynical is to say it is not true because nothing is ever true. To be…

……, BUT …
Many times comes right after saying something good. After bestowing confidence on yourself or on someone else with compliments and love or with strength, light and flowers and all that is brilliant. Then comes the BUT. Everytime someone utters the three letters, in the mind of the recepient it’s like everything else is erased. Whatever…

Hope is not blind optimism…
“Hope is not blind optimism. It is rather the complete belief that our natural aspirations for truth, meaning, and purpose will come to full practical realization.” ~Unknown~ I would wish that everyone has hope. Hope is what helps the farmer to sleep at night in peaceful assurance that what he has planted is growing even…
