  • The Uneven Ledger

    What she went through was nothing compared to what she did to me. But who is keeping the score? This question gets to the heart of what I’ve come to call “the uneven ledger” the biased way we account for our relationships.

  • The Tea Was Sweet, But The Journey…

    They say you can’t go back, but for me, it’s not about going back. It’s about a fast-forward from 25 to my 40s. A blink of an eye, and I realized I’ve lived 20 twice. Baebee, the things I’ve seen, the dramas I’ve been through… You couldn’t write this script. The growing pains, the gut-wrenching… Read more

  • My Motivation: From Resilience to Altruism

    What motivates you? My motivation is a powerful force, rooted in the very act of choosing myself and a deep sense of compassion for others.

  • My Act of Self-Grace

    What do you enjoy most about writing? For me, writing wasn’t just a passion; it was my salvation. I remember the times my mother would beat me and the days I went hungry.

  • The Beautiful Scraps of Our Lives

But as a business owner, a writer, and a mental health coach, I’ve learned that’s not where real… Read more

  • The Waiting Room and the Healer

    “I’m done with the church,” she said, her voice shaking slightly. She stirred her tea. The spoon clinked against the porcelain a little too loudly. The pain in her eyes was unmistakable. “I went there hoping to find God. Instead, I found people who claimed to be His followers hurting me.” Her words weren’t a… Read more

  • Curiosity

    What positive emotion do you feel most often? Curiosity is a powerful and beautiful emotion, especially when viewed through the lens of faith. It’s the feeling that pulls us toward new ideas and deeper understanding. But for me, this emotion was long buried. For years, my world was defined by heartache and loss. The most… Read more

  • Finding My Way: More Than Just a Plan

    How do you plan your goals? When it comes to planning my goals, I’ve learned that a simple checklist or a five-year plan isn’t enough. For years, I struggled, trying to figure out a path forward on my own. I went through a lot of suffering and uncertainty, feeling like I had no direction. Through… Read more

  • The Word That Lost Its Way

    What is a word you feel that too many people use? We’ve all heard the word Christian. Many of us wear it like a uniform, a badge of honor, or even a shield. We use it to identify ourselves, to signal what we believe in, and to draw a line between “us” and “them.” But… Read more
