I almost began this post with the statement, “It was just one book. I read a single book, and my entire reality began to make zero sense to me.” As I wrote that, another thought crept in: many would say, “And that’s your problem. You read too much—why do you always seek to disturb theContinueContinue reading “Decoding the Disconnect: What the Bible Code Reveals About Spirituality and Society”

The Dangers of Religion and the Beauty of Faith: A Cautionary Tale
Religion, at its best, is a framework through which we seek to understand God and grow closer to Him. Yet, when misunderstood or misused, religion can distort the very truths it aims to reveal.

You shut theContinueContinue reading “The Dangers of Religion and the Beauty of Faith: A Cautionary Tale”

Rising and Ascending: Shifting Perspectives for the Coming Year
The higher we rise in our perspective, the clearer we see—not just our own path, but the connections that guide and shape us.

When the Sting Comes: Wisdom and Love for 2025
When I was a kid, my father was a beekeeper. Stings were inevitable—especially for a curious, stubborn, fearless kid like me. I suppose God knew my dad would need a little extra wisdom, so He blessed him with plenty of good, old-fashioned common sense. And when it came to bee stings, my dad’s solution wasContinueContinue reading “When the Sting Comes: Wisdom and Love for 2025”
The Journey to Self: Why Focusing on You Is the Key to True Connection
A few days ago I came across a quote that deeply resonated with my experience over the last few years: When they said she was going crazy…She was Awakening. When they said she was isolating…She was Healing. When they said she was acting funny…She was Growing. When they said that she changed…She was Evolving. WhenContinueContinue reading “The Journey to Self: Why Focusing on You Is the Key to True Connection”
Sunday Sessions: The Paradox of Past and Future — Healing While Moving Forward
This morning, I find myself reflecting on the paradox of time—the way the past, present, and future weave together to shape who we are and who we are becoming. This paradox—this tug-of-war between honoring the past and releasing it—has been heavy on my heart as we close out this year and look toward the next.ContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: The Paradox of Past and Future — Healing While Moving Forward”
The Practice of Happiness: A Foundational Principle for 2025
As we enter a new year, it’s almost impossible to escape the tidal wave of resolutions. Everywhere, people are declaring what they won’t do, how they’ll “fix” themselves, and which habits they’ll break. This collective focus on lack—on what must be eliminated, avoided, or overcome—perpetuates the very energies of woundedness and insufficiency that many areContinueContinue reading “The Practice of Happiness: A Foundational Principle for 2025”

Solar Return 46: Threadbare Elegy
The profound nature of art and truth is that what’s meant to be about someone else often feels like it’s written just for us, holding a mirror to our own soul. That’s the gift of true connection—even the darker ones we share as souls. I think that’s part of what agape love truly is: notContinueContinue reading “Solar Return 46: Threadbare Elegy”
When Giving God the Glory Hurt Me—And Taught Me to Love Better
For a long time, I struggled with the phrase, “Give God the glory.” My mother used to say it constantly, especially during moments when I longed for her gratitude. As her full-time caregiver, I poured myself into serving her, yet she never thanked me—only God. It drove me crazy. Why couldn’t she see my efforts?ContinueContinue reading “When Giving God the Glory Hurt Me—And Taught Me to Love Better”
Staying the Course: Lessons in Discipline, Faith, and Choosing Love

Confronting Darkness: A Call to Sacred Healing and Connection
Growing up, I often debated with my father and his church elder friends about morality and religion. I believed, way back then, that moral character could exist independently of faith—that knowing the difference between right and wrong was enough. My youthful self argued that choosing good simply required knowledge and a personal commitment to actContinueContinue reading “Confronting Darkness: A Call to Sacred Healing and Connection”
