seeing what is silent, hearing what is unseen
Every so often, a new “spiritual assignment” lands in the inboxes of church volunteers and facilitators—fast for three days, pray for the participants, gather early for devotion, attend midweek meetings. No one asks questions. No one dares to. The instruction comes from above, and questioning it is treated as rebellion. I’ve come to realize how…
Read moreEvery time I choose to save instead of spend, I remind myself—I’m not just holding onto money, I’m planting a seed. It might be small now, barely noticeable, but with time and care, it becomes something steady and strong. It’s not about being stingy or afraid to enjoy life; it’s about honouring the future me…
Read moreYesterday at the salon, I overheard one of the most interesting conversations I’ve heard in a while. A woman was talking about her son—the one she said she had planted a seed in church for, believing that this act would bless his life and keep him safe. But now, she said, he’s the one disturbing…
Read moreSaving—whether it’s money, energy, or even emotional bandwidth—isn’t about hoarding or living in fear. It’s about wisdom.

When love begins to unravel, the law steps in—not to heal hearts, but to divide lives. Legal issues around divorce can feel heavy and disorienting. Suddenly, deeply personal matters—like custody, property, and finances—become legal terms, documents, and…
Read moreIt’s not all or nothing. You don’t have to be either fully okay or completely broken. Healing isn’t about “getting over it” or forcing joy. It’s about learning to live with both: the ache and the ease. The grief and the grace. Some days, your heart might still sting from things that happened years ago….
Read moreThis morning I woke up and decided I was going back to carnivore. Again. I’ve been on every diet you can think of—vegetarian, keto, intermittent fasting—but I still keep circling back, hoping one of them will finally make me feel okay in my body. So I told myself today was the day. No sugar, no…
Read moreMoney isn’t a fixed thing. It moves—like the tide. Sometimes it rushes in with abundance, and other times it slips away when we need it most. I used to panic during the low tides, feeling like I’d failed somehow. But now, I try to approach it differently. I remind myself that this ebb and flow…
