Nurturing Body, Mind, Soul and Spirit
We have too much pride. We would rather pretend to look like we know what we are doing in order to not be perceived as incompetent rather than ask for help. Many people see asking for a help as a sign of weakness. Others simply don’t want others to know that they are struggling. You […]
Have you every noticed that you as a loved one gets treated differently than someone who’s a complete stranger? Say your a parent, and your son or daughter has a new boyfriend. The child is very patient with the significant other, but is very rude to you. I don’t think that its because familiarity breeds […]
I don’t think there is love without risk. When it comes to relationships we don’t know what risks to take because we’re initially afraid of failure. More than likely this person makes you vulnerable, so there’s also fear of being hurt. We love the person we are with and don’t want anything bad to happen. […]
We’re going through some tough times right now. People we revere as difference makers seem to be dying, while others who are spewing nothing, but evil are thriving. You would hope that the greater being out there is doing the work in creating fairness. Maybe God is. Maybe instead of having to march up and […]
I may have a fear of intimacy. I would probably need a shrink to tell me that before I actually believe it. Fear of intimacy is a subconscious aversion to closeness that affects personal relationships. This type of fear can be presented physically and emotionally.

The past couple of weeks have been tough for me. It’s the reason why you haven’t seen at least a weekly blog post. While people are taking to the street to battle racism and oppression, I’ve been doing so in the form of social media and education in my own community. The small form responses […]
When it comes to authority, there are two types. You have positional authority. The example here would be your boss or an police officer. Their position in society gives them their sense of authority. Some people take this power too seriously. There are plenty of bosses who believe they can tell their subordinate to do […]
I’m rereading the 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman, and I’ve come to the realization that we should relegate these languages to just romantic relationships. I believe they should be used for all of our relationships. As a fairly new manager, I’m finding ways to keep the people I work with happy with me and […]
The journal prompt I had for today was to define what love means to me. It’s also the day after Valentine’s Day, so love is in the air. Truth is, I’ve never really felt love, or what I would think to be love. I would guess that love is something that’s a natural euphoria. It […]
