Upon the Wings of Change
The transformation that takes place on our spiritual journey is miraculous. I recently felt a dramatic shift within me that helped me deal with my past without feeling hurt, resentful, or defensive.

Lessons My Mother Taught Me
For most people, we learn to love, nurture, and comfort through our mothers. I did not bond with my mother as an infant as I was raised by my grandmother. However, what my mother taught me was invaluable. Through my mother, I learned ways to overcome adversity and hardship. My mother’s emotional and psychological instability…

In March of this year, I bought a townhouse that was a gift to myself to put down roots and find my place in the world so I can finally stop running. The above is a photo of my meditation/yoga practice room that I created for myself for self care and love. In this…
