Ever walked on an unpaved, rocky, gravel road? It’s quite uncomfortable right? My spiritual mentor gave me this parable and compared this to our lives of faith. When we make ourselves like paving a road, then it is easy and we are able to live comfortable lives in the body and in the spirit. He …
Ok so I just finished reading/listening to my favorite series of all time called, The Lunar Chronicles. It is easily one of the best sci-fi, romance, action-adventure I’ve ever read, seriously.

Have you ever been hurt by a friend? In a way that is unimaginable and undeniably unkind? I’m sure you have- I’m sure we all have! Or maybe it wasn’t a very close friend but a coworker or someone you see a lot and can’t avoid? I’ve experienced that before too. It’s very hard to forgive …

This week I faced a setback. I applied to a writing program and I thought I got in, but turns out they didn’t have open positions for the track I was interested in (which I wish had been made clear before I applied but I digress). I must admit I was disappointed. I shut down …
