Angry About Anger

Let’s be honest: anger. It’s a fiery beast, isn’t it?  It roars in our faces, contorts our expressions, and sometimes even makes us say or do things we regret.  However, what if I told you that there’s something even more frustrating than the anger itself? It’s the anger about our anger. Becoming angry at beingContinue reading “Angry About Anger”

In the rush of days, a whirlwind’s spin, We chase the hours, let moments thin. But hold, dear friend, before you fly, And take a breath, reflect, and sigh.

DidContinue reading “Recalling, Remembering and Reviewing”

Enjoying Responsibility

I’m curious, what comes to mind when you hear the word “responsibility”?  Is it a groan-inducing list of chores, or maybe a sense of duty that feels heavy on your shoulders?

Releasing Resistance To Rest

Ah, rest. The very word conjures up images of peaceful slumber, quiet reflection, and blissful escapes from the daily grind. Yet, how often do we find ourselves resisting it?  We push through exhaustion, ignore our emotional fatigue, and dismiss the whispers of our spirit yearning for respite. Today, we delve into the transformative power ofContinue reading “Releasing Resistance To Rest”

Emancipating Lent

As we prepare now  to review the week that was, interestingly much of it had to do with preparing to review. To reflect upon our lives, accept that change is necessary and commit to becoming more.

Emancipating His Proclamations

Get past the stovepipe hat and the marble monuments. Forget the four score and twenty years ago memorized in classrooms and the penny pinched between his knuckles. It’s time to emancipate the beliefs of Abraham Lincoln himself.  To free them from the dusty shelves where his proclamations often reside, gathering cobwebs and whispers of “longContinue reading “Emancipating His Proclamations”
