How to Find Peace: Self-Worth During Holidays
Embracing worthiness during family gatherings and holidays can be challenging when the negative voice in our heads amplifies feelings of unworthiness. By recognizing this voice as a faulty car alarm and shifting our focus, we can detach from its influence. Redirecting our thoughts to seek the truth and adopting a positive narrative allows us to maintain a positive mindset. Embracing worthiness is an ongoing journey that requires practice and patience, but it empowers us to navigate these situations with confidence and self-worth.

And I have to say that I'm proud of this number. I earned this number. I have never felt more alive, more grounded, more at ease, or more loved.
Five Lies That Keep You Stuck
A Family Un-Broken
She said, "Oh that's good, because we don't really have many people of your kind at our school and she'd probably have a hard time fitting in."
"What kind are we?" I asked, completely baffled and wholly curious to see what was about to come out of her mouth.
"You know... broken," she said, shrugging her shoulders and smiling apologetically, "We don't have any broken families at our school."

For Those Who Are Motherless
It was almost my turn to speak. In our close and huddled circle, each person had already spoken in hushed voices and long pauses -- each taking time to go within, to listen and to wait -- bringing forward only what they had found to be true about their experience, sometimes with the look of astonishment as though they had just discovered something they didn't even know they knew. To sit with someone as they tell the truth is to witness something holy, one of the greatest gifts of our shared human experience.
