There’s a profound shift that happens when you stop seeing difficult people as obstacles and start seeing them as teachers. The quote in the image above captures this beautifully—what if the people who anger us were always meant to be in our lives, not to torment us,...

The Cost of Being Real

The Cost of Being Real

You can’t be real and likable at the same time. That’s the truth so many struggle with, myself included, but I am getting better at caring less, as I understand and accept who I am at my core. We all run from shame, from being seen as less than. It comes from an...

The Depth of Truth

Healing Isn’t the End—It’s the Beginning of Understanding

Taj Arora’s words capture something profound: healing isn’t about erasing pain or ensuring you’ll never feel it again. It’s about learning to sit with it, understand it, and no longer fear it. Healing doesn’t mean you’ll never revisit the darkness, but it does mean...

See No Evil, Hear No Evil…

See No Evil, Hear No Evil…

It is appalling how accountability has slipped so quickly, just like that?! If there is no respect for International law then there is absolutely no respect for human rights. The media, driven by ratings and profit, has dulled its audience—and here we are, more...

A Question for the Faithful: Does Your God Approve?

A Question for the Faithful: Does Your God Approve?

To those who voted for this leader based on religious beliefs—specifically, on the issue of abortion—does everything else he stands for align with your faith? If you believed he was pro-life, how do you reconcile that with his disregard for the lives of...
