There is bolder in my stomach, electricity, just humming through my skin at my fingertips.I'm teaching class, and every week, we start with acknowledgments land acknowledgments and acknowledgment of the Black Lives Matter movement, and I have
This week I'm sharing another poem and a question that I want to remember for times like this, a year like this, and a week like this. I do believe the struggle is the blessing. It's amazing how much easier it is to say that when the struggle
This week, it's week 43 and a 53 week year. This means we have just under 10 weeks left in 2020. So I ask, how do you want to end the year, how do you want to feel in these next two weeks, and what actions can you take to get you there. We
This week I'm doing something interesting. At the moment I'm recording this, I'm waiting for the telltale event to start where I am going to kick things off by telling a story. The theme is Something Wicked.Alright, take a listen.
This week, I wanted to share the one belief that has given me an unshakable, unbreakable unquestionable, ultimately unconditional self-worth. I went by the river from a nice spot and recorded what you're about to hear. So take a listen. Let me
