ALWAYS GUIDED
"Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves." — Henry David Thoreau We can get “lost” in many different ways. Personally, I can get lost so fast directionally that it would make your head spin. I get frustrated when my GPS tells me to turn east or west instead of left or right because I have no clue which way is which. I can also get lost in thought which takes away my focus on my priorities. But what I love to do is to get lost on purpose. As I travel throug


SET YOURSELF FREE
"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you." — Lewis B. Smedes For many years, I misunderstood forgiveness. I thought it was something we did for someone else. If another person hurt us, betrayed us, abandoned us, or disappointed us, forgiveness seemed like letting them off the hook. It felt unfair. Why should they be forgiven when they caused the pain? Then one day I heard a simple truth: forgiveness is not about them—it is about you. That real


ONE BREATH CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING
“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” Charles R. Swindoll In my years of coaching, spiritual counseling, and walking beside souls on their healing journeys, there is one simple tool I return to again and again. The pause. It sounds almost too easy to be life-changing. And yet, it is. I will confess something to you. Learning the pause was not natural for me. My old tendency? The knee-jerk reaction. If something felt critical, threatening, or unfair


LIVING AS A BLESSING
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou There is a sacred truth woven into these words, one that the soul recognizes immediately. Long after conversations fade and details blur, what remains is the emotional imprint we leave behind. A kindness remembered. A wound felt. A moment of being truly seen—or not. So much of life is lived in passing moments. We cross paths briefly with s

I KNOW NOTHING
“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” Socrates There is something quite liberating about admitting that we don't know everything. In fact, the older I get and the more experiences I have, the more I realize just how little I truly know. And that is perfectly okay! I remember being younger and thinking that wisdom came with age. Surely, by the time we reach a certain number of birthdays, we should have life figured out. We should have all the answers, know

LIFE IS MEANT TO BE FUN
“Imagine a world without pleasure. Life would appear colorless and humorless. A baby’s smile would go unappreciated. Foods would be tasteless.” Robert Ornstein and David Sobel It is so true that if there were no joy in life, nothing would make sense. It wouldn’t matter if there were good or bad, up or down, sunshine or rain. Without the ability to experience joy, life would simply become a series of events with no sparkle, no laughter, and no reason to stop and appreciate

DON’T-KNOW MIND
“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.” Gilda Radner There is something magical about autumn, especially here in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina where I currently find myself. Everywhere I look, Mo

COURAGE TO BEGIN AGAIN
"If you are sad, if you are heartbroken, make yourself up, dress up, add more lipstick and attack." Coco Chanel There are times in life when the world seems to come crashing down around us. We look in the mirror and barely recognize the person staring back. The sparkle in our eyes has dimmed, our confidence has disappeared, and even the simplest tasks seem overwhelming. Sometimes the last thing we want to do is put on a smile and face the world. I know that feeling all too

A REBEL FOR PEACE
“Life is short, Break the Rules. Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably And never regret ANYTHING That makes you smile.” Mark Twain I guess I have always been a bit of a rebel. I’m not sure exactly when that rebellious streak began, but one thing I know for certain is that being told I can't do something has never sat well with me. And being told I must do something a certain way? Well, that is usually when my adventurous spirit starts looking for a

USE YOUR WINGS
“Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still.” - Chinese Proverb There is something very comforting about our comfort zones. They are familiar, predictable, and safe. We know what to expect, and we can settle into our routines without having to stretch ourselves too far. Sometimes it is much easier to remain right where we are than to take that first uncertain step into something new. But here's the thing about comfort zones. While they may feel safe,

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
“With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.” Eleanor Roosevelt It’s a new day. An ending and a beginning, all wrapped up in the beautiful mystery of life. As I packed my belongings and prepared to leave the magical land of Alaska, I found myself struggling with something unexpected. The packing itself was easy. It was my heart that was having difficulty fitting everything into the suitcase. How do you pack away the wonder of a glacier, the excitement of a dogsle

AWAKENING THE ANGEL WITHIN
“The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.” James Allen I have always been fascinated by dreams. There is something so mysterious and magical about closing our eyes, drifting off to sleep, and entering a world where anything seems possible. We can fly without wings, visit places we have never been, re

FINDING THE REAL TREASURE IN AN ALASKAN THRIFT STORE
“You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.” Joyce Meyer Our awareness is one of the most powerful gifts we have been given. What we choose to notice, what we allow into our thoughts, and how we perceive the world around us all play a part in shaping our experience of life. Our understanding and perception give substance to the things upon which we place our attention. In other words, what we focus on expands. Every day we have a choice. What are we going to feed

NOWHERE TO GO BUT EVERYWHERE - THE NEXT CHAPTER
“He had no place he could stay in without getting tired of it and because there was nowhere to go but everywhere, keep rolling under the stars.” Jack Kerouac There is something magical about the open road. It calls to the adventurous spirit within us, inviting us to discover what lies beyond the next bend, over the next mountain, or in the heart of a stranger we have yet to meet. A life of constant travel is certainly not everyone's cup of tea. In fact, if someone had told
