This morning, I was ready to chuck my laptop out the window. Seriously—technical difficulties had me so worked up I could’ve screamed, except I was too busy wrestling with a platform that wouldn’t cooperate. I’m still shaking my head as I write this. (Side note: if you’re signed up for inbox updates, I’m so sorryContinueContinue reading “From Rage to Refuge: The Power of Voice and Silence”

Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence | “Authenticity Unveiled” Series
In the 3D reality we inhabit, image is everything. From social media profiles to first impressions, people go to great lengths to curate how they are perceived. But while appearances can be manipulated, your energy—the essence of who you are—is something that cannot be faked. It is your spiritual face card, and in both the physical andContinueContinue reading “Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence | “Authenticity Unveiled” Series”
The Weight of an Apology: Why Words Alone Aren’t Enough
Can an Apology Fix What is Broken? This is a question that many of us have asked ourselves at some point in our lives—whether in relationships, friendships, family conflicts, or professional settings. Can an apology alone truly fix what has been broken? The short answer is no. An apology in itself is not a magicalContinueContinue reading “The Weight of an Apology: Why Words Alone Aren’t Enough”
A Psychologist’s Perspective on Mental Illness, Avoidance, and the Path to Healing
The Post That Sparked This Discussion I’ve been seeing more and more posts like this one, and frankly, it’s exhausting. The comment sections are often filled with people (rightfully) holding the individuals accountable for their behavior, but what’s missing in these discussions is any consideration for what led them here or useful correspondence. Especially ifContinueContinue reading “A Psychologist’s Perspective on Mental Illness, Avoidance, and the Path to Healing”
The Standard of Self-Respect: Why It Begins With You
Sometimes it’s not that someone is disrespecting you, but they are treating you in a way they wouldn’t treat someone they respect. (Jared Mello) Read that again. At first glance, this quote is about how people treat us—how they reveal their level of respect (or lack thereof) through their actions.

The Virtue of Temperance: A Path to Balance and Freedom
Temperance is one of the oldest virtues known to humanity, and it remains as relevant today as it was in ancient times. Historically, temperance has been associated with combating the sin of gluttony—not just in terms of physical indulgence, but also in how we allow ourselves to be consumed by excessive desires or passions. MoreContinueContinue reading “The Virtue of Temperance: A Path to Balance and Freedom”
Random Reflections: The Tug-of-War Between Past and Future
This post is a “random reflection” inspired by a quote I came across tonight while preparing for meditation: The person attempting to travel two roads at once will get nowhere. (Xun Zi) This quote struck me deeply because it perfectly captures the inner conflict we create when we try to move forward while clinging toContinueContinue reading “Random Reflections: The Tug-of-War Between Past and Future”
