“When the lens is cracked, even the sun looks dangerous.” I said this to a friend earlier this week after she shared a frustrating experience with someone we both know. On the surface, this person’s reaction to a simple disagreement seemed extreme—but as we peeled back the layers, something became clear. I told my friend, … Continue reading When the Lens is Cracked, Even the Sun Looks Dangerous!
When Perfection Silences You: Choosing Progress Instead.
For too long, I let perfection silence me. Today, I choose progress. I choose to tell the stories that have lived inside me—raw, unfinished, and real.

Coming Home to Yourself
It was a quiet Friday morning. The breeze softly moved the linen-and-cotton blend curtains—cream, taupe, and gold—at my bedroom window.
