Happy Holidays!
As 2025 was happening in real time, I was often gritting my teeth through its constant ups and downs. But as I take a moment to breathe and look back into its rearview mirror, I am reminded of a relentless truth that has a way of changing the scenery entirely. Life has this way of…

A message from Rwanda…
Between April and June 1994, an estimated 800,000 Rwandans were killed in the span of 100 days.

Universal Mirror
Last night, as often happens, I felt drawn to go dance with the ocean. I love dancing on the beach under the night sky with the ocean’s fury singing to me in the background. It has been such a healing gift to me to be able to rest in the comfort of a bed of…

What is a Professional Human?
We are all spiritual beings having a human experience. We yearn for connection with others, with self, with nature and with a higher power, whether we are aware of it or not. We thrive when we are free from mental anguish and physical pain. And many of us are tolerating chronic pain, stress, depression, sickness,…
