Whispers To The Soul – Letting Go of Comparison and Embracing Authenticity – Series

My journey has been one of trial and error—learning, over many years, how to stand in my own authenticity and embracing authenticity..

To live a lie is a heavy burden—silencing your truth, echoing what others expect, and walking a road that was never yours to take.

We arrive in this world with a single calling—to be fully ourselves.

Yet so often, we measure our worth against others, past and present. We’re taught that comparison is the path to success, to happiness, to “better.” And in doing so, we slip into the dreams of lives not our own, or chase after the glitter of strangers’ fame and fortune.

When our sense of self falters, instead […]

Beneath My Silence – When Life Reveals True Friends – Series

When life takes an unexpected turn, it reveals a great deal about the people around you. Life reveals true friends.

It feels like a raw, unsettling purge—suddenly you see who has the courage to sit with the darkness, and who runs from it because they cannot face their own.

The truth is simple: those who deny their own shadow cannot hold space for anyone else’s.

In a culture addicted to distraction, we postpone meeting our shadow until life leaves us no choice.

Privilege protects itself, but in the end, nothing genuine survives without honesty. So, cherish the ones who can stand with you in the storm, and release the rest.

For it is […]

Notes From George – A Dream with George – Series

I drifted off last night with George on my mind, quietly asking what he might think about me writing this blog. To my surprise, he showed up in my dreams. It felt so real—like he was alive again, moving through time and space beside me—until morning pulled me back.

 

Soooo… what’s happening in your little corner of Earth and time right now?

Ah, I understand…

Oh my goodness…

I hear you…

Mmm, I get it…

Oh wow…

These little talks always make me smile.

George

 

This dream was a comfort—a sweet glimpse of George that I carried with me […]

Notes From George – A Brother’s Legacy of Love & Wisdom – Series

Notes from George

An Introduction

My brother George never set out to be a teacher. He wasn’t loud with his wisdom, and he never sought the spotlight. His lessons were carried in the quiet way he lived—simple words, steady love, and a bravery that never asked to be noticed.

This series, Notes from George, gathers those moments and holds them close. They are reminders of the best little brother anyone could have, and reflections of the truth he lived: that love, even when whispered, leaves an echo that carries on.

George was born on June 23, 1956, and by December 25th, he became my most cherished Christmas gift. I had wished for a baby […]

Beneath My Silence – Grief Is Love Remembering – Series

Grief Is Love Remembering

Grief is the echo of love—
A sacred ache that shows your heart once opened wide.

Even when surrounded by love, because the […]

Whispers To The Soul – You Are Enough: Embracing Self-Love Beyond Judgment – Series

Ever since the first moments of being teased in elementary school, we’ve all wrestled with covering up the things about us that others could easily see.

This is not something orchestrated, but an invisible and often wounding transition: from knowing only the safety of ourselves to facing the judgments of the world.

The tragedy is how rarely we are reminded that we are kind, beautiful, and worthy—how seldom we are told we need not hide.

Instead, we come to believe that growing up means covering who we are.

There’s nothing more false. Somewhere, we learned to think that parts of us had to be hidden.

The moment we buy into that, even for a little while, the weight of not-enoughness presses in.

There’s nothing you need […]

The Girl Left Behind – The Last Morning I Saw My Mother Alive – Series

The last morning I saw my mother alive, she carried herself with a strange kind of quiet, as if the world was holding its breath.

It was Columbus Day, October 12, 1962—a school holiday—and Aunt Connie had stayed the night to take George and me away for the long weekend.

Nothing about the day announced itself as different, yet looking back, I can see how the silence settled like a shadow over the house.

I woke to the smell of bacon drifting through the kitchen, a scent that has never left me.

When I walked in, the four of us—Mom, Aunt Connie, George, and me—sat together around the small table, bathed in the soft […]
