Sarah Morris read our courage post. She had just done a lesson on courage with her young people in church. The connection was amazing for me. She sent me an AMAZING TED talk that blew me away. I kept thinking of my life, the lives of those I love, and the “impossible” things they are…

Powerful suggestions for long-term counseling
I have not written in this portion of my blog in a while. This is for my L.C.S.W. folks! Or, if you are currently in counseling, consider sharing this with your therapist to see if it’s right for you. Everyone must examine where they are in therapy and honestly ask if these suggestions match your…
Share your life changing moment: It has the power to change others
With a touch of a button, we can change temperature, lighting, and order out for food. As I sat across from my sweet friend, she shared her soul work. She read my post on Project Rescue–a resource for women and children living in the brothels of India. Her heritage is from India. She wanted so…
When “cultivating good” is hard
“Always be humble and gentle.

Research and common sense tells us that women working in clubs are vulnerable to violence, depression, STDs, trauma, and addictions. I’ve…

At the end of the day…
At a compassion fatigue workshop, one of my co-workers shared a paradigm shift in her mind that brought healing. At the end of the day, we have a choice to concentrate on all we did not get done, or celebrate the things we accomplished. This simple activity has brought healing to me. I’m a list…
Running on empty?
So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of…
A QUICK NOTE
For some reason videos do not play on my smart phone from the post. If I’m on my computer, I can play the videos, but my smart phone is not so smart. 🙂 If that’s the case for you, I encourage you to go back to your computer and watch the video of That’s My…
