Let’s Stop Treating Our Lives Like It Progresses in a Straight Line
We tend to think that life is a progression of milestones because we compare ourselves to the norm. We go to school, then we get the job, then we get married, have the kids, get the house, and here comes the promotion. Is the person who does not decide to go to college a failure?…
Love is Measured in Actions Not Words
When it comes to romantic relationships, I would sadly say that I don’t believe that I’ve been in love before. I don’t think I’ve ever said “I love you” to anyone other than family members. There’s one thing I know about love. It really has little to do with words. It’s not an emotion either.…
Perfection is Not a Requirement for Love
This is world is kind of crazy. I feel like we’ve progressed in many ways and regressed in many others. I look back on the whole George Floyd tragedy last year, and this era of cancel culture. With George Floyd, a great majority of people were appalled by what happened to Floyd, but there was…
Shame Makes Work Feel Like the Worst Trait of Organized Religion
I feel like I’m in a Brene Brown era of life. Just gobbling up the content. Shame comes with a negative connotation, deservingly so. It’s a. hard emotion to master because it’s an emotion that tells us that we are not enough. That enough is so diverse. We are not good enough, cute enough, or…
How to Know When to Leave a Toxic Relationship
The hardest part of love is knowing when to give up on it. Not because you don’t love the person, but you’re not receiving any love in return. In some cases, love doesn’t end in a fairy tale. We fall in love, we get hurt. Some people leave the relationship. Others stay in hopes that…
Three Months Away From the Garden
Three months ago, I left the Garden of Eden. No, it wasn’t as perfect as the actual garden, but it was my paradise for the last five years. A paradise I definitely took for granted. A lot of that had to do with my ego. I believe that the unconscious mind is the reason for…
The Heart of Christianity by Marcus J. Borg Book Summary
If you’re looking for a progressive summary on Christianity, this book by Marcus J. Borg is pretty great. You may have read my last summary, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time. I really liked that book and just went through the Marcus J. Borg rabbit whole. At the beginning of the book, Borg starts…
Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time Book Summary
This was a wonderful book and a great read for someone wanting to learn more about Jesus. Meeting Jesus Again or the First Time is a consolidation of lectures given by Marcus J. Borg in the early 90s. It’s a classic work because I definitely found it relevant in my spiritual life. The book starts…
The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown Book Summary
This was the first time reading this book even though the first edition came out 10 years ago. I had to puck up the 10th anniversary because I’m such a fan of Brene Brown. I agree with her research, and I’m still trying to implement it even though it’s so hard. No one said the…
Why You Should Climb out Your Comfort Zone
Staying in your comfort zone could be slowly killing you. That sounds pretty drastic. When you think about it, being in your comfort zone will mean that you will never discover your passion, accomplish goals, or find happiness. That sounds counterintuitive though. If you’re comfortable, doesn’t that mean you’re happy? It’s usually not the case.…
