Heartwork Chronicles: The Journey of Healing and Growth, part 1

In this intimate tale from the Heartwork Chronicles, I unravel the beauty of conversation as a key to healing’s heart. Walk with me through a narrative sprinkled with smiles, laughter and tears, where the simple act of dialogue—both with ourselves and those around us—becomes a canvas for understanding and embracing our true strength. Discover how reflecting on our victories, big and small, equips us to meet today and our tomorrows with a bold heart and a resilient spirit.

Redefining Progress: The Hidden Value in Life’s Unexpected Impermanence

Everyone needs to hear this and know this. And I mean EVERYONE. I believe we already know it, but we’ve become so disconnected from ourselves we no longer believe what the God in us teaches us. It’s the still, deep knowing. Rather than bemoan the season of rest, akin to the leaves falling off the trees, we must instead appreciate the season we’re in and embrace the importance of and recognize these periods of stability as opportunities for reflection, adjustment, and preparation for continued progress.

Savoring Life: A Journey of Mindfulness, Self-Discovery, and True Unconditional Love

And the single most important connection I have in the world is the connection I have with myself. God loves me. I love me. I love others like I love me. If I don’t love me well, I can’t love others well, either. So I spent years learning to love myself well. To care for myself. To be patient, kind, protecting, trusting, hoping and to persevere. After all, that is the very definition of love in Corinthians.

Before we look ahead to the new year, we ought to spend time celebrating all of our accomplishments from this year. Before we move forward, how about we spend some time relishing our accomplishments and successes from this year?! Like, duh! Yes, of course!

Praying Against Evil: Seeking Divine Protection in a Troubled World

Let me be so incredibly clear: simply put, some people are evil and wicked. Some people lie, cheat and steal (and don’t let them be the trifecta doing all three!) to get whatever the hell they want and they don’t care about anybody else’s feelings but their own. Actually, they don’t even care about their own feelings! They care about what the want. What they get. Feelings?! What are those?!?!

A Nurse’s Reflection: The Journey to Peace and Serenity

I was speaking with a client as they were preparing for discharge from the detox facility where I work, discussing their eagerness, excitement, apprehension, and joy to return from the detox facility– their temporary home for the past couple of weeks in close community with people who intimately know their struggles with addiction– to their own home. Standing tall, they said: “[When I go home,] I’m remaining firmly grounded in peace [stomps left foot] and serenity [stomps right foot].”
