Who's That Girl?

We all have the opportunity to grow. We all have the opportunity to evolve. Some of us begin that journey earlier in life, and some much later. Some people need to experience certain things to truly evaluate their lives and surroundings, while others come to their realizations through deep and intentional work on themselves. For…

Have you ever just felt…off? It comes out of nowhere. Suddenly you’re not sleeping well. You feel anxious. Your thoughts feel foggy and you can’t quite think as clearly. You can’t quite put your finger on it, because on the surface things in your life are actually going well. Yet something feels off. Recently I…

We’re often taught that emotions arrive one at a time. That grief replaces love. That joy means healing is finished. That if you’re still sad, you must not be okay yet. But grief doesn’t work like that. And neither does love. Grief is not the opposite of love; it is proof of it. It’s love…

Hallmark movies are a staple in many homes. People live for those fairy tale stories of finding love and their happily ever after. Time after time, movie after movie, it’s the same thing. So, what exactly is the formula for making that perfect Hallmark film? Let’s start with the basics — usually, there’s a woman…

Trying love and relationships again after losing your spouse can feel terrifying. The fears are real—what if it doesn’t work out? What if the families and children don’t blend? What if opening your heart and being vulnerable again only leads to another heartbreak? And perhaps the deepest fear of all: what if you lose this…

If you know me, then you know that for most of my life, my wardrobe has been predominantly black. I’d say about 99%. No, it wasn’t just because I was the grieving widow. This started long before — back in my early teens. And now, as I continue to embrace all the changes in my…

I didn’t always understand what serenity truly meant. I thought it was something reserved for meditation retreats, quiet beaches, or the pages of poetry. I often debated going on one of those “life changing” adventures all in hopes of achieving that blissful state of serenity.  But serenity isn’t about escape—it’s about presence. It’s about learning…

What is a soulmate?  There are several definitions and every person may have their own interpretation. There are friends that can be soulmates because you connect on a level that others probably won’t get.
