I have heard this saying frequently: “Learning is not linear.” It has been shown to be true in my life. I have found learning to be like a big puzzle.

We all have hooks of personal history and injury stuck inside of us. My trauma is not greater or smaller than anyone else’s. It just is. Deep connection happens when weContinue reading “Share your story”

It has been a minute since I let my inner voice speak. You have to create moments and space for spiritual communication. It can’t come through with all the noise and digital distractions.
