Nurturing Body, Mind, Soul and Spirit
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Growing up I would definitely say that I was a stoic person. I don’t think anyone could see my emotions because I spent a good amount of my life hiding it from other people. If I was sad, you wouldn’t know it. If I was ecstatic… you still wouldn’t know it. I had (sometimes still […]
The best part of Permission to Feel, the book by Marc Brackett, is that he really wants us to be comfortable with our emotions in a world that usually doesn’t allow us to be. We see emotions as a hinderance to our well being. I good question to ask in that assertion is why do […]

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 […]
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 […]
In some relationships, we don’t necessarily like how we are being treated. Then you do a Google search for quotes that say something like you treat others how you want to be treated. What does that really mean? Teaching someone how to treat you is a practice in setting boundaries. It’s letting someone know what […]
I’m very much an advocate of learning. Every process of life is a learning moment where we should take the time to learn its lesson. The biggest way we learn is by making mistakes. It’s really not until we fail that we realize how to put the pieces back together. The problem is that we […]
