  • Happy Easter 🙏🏽💛 He lives forever in our hearts. #Easter Photo shot in Ravenna, Italy
  • On Ash Wednesday, there were less than twenty people in the service I popped into. I cried because I knew why the pews were empty. I myself rarely go in person these days and listen to sermons virtually. The evil people have done in God’s name and keep doing in God’s name continues to drive people away. People who need that love the most. Who need to see God’s reflection in their neighbors. Hate, exclusion, delusion, xenophobia, wars, genocides, supremacy… the list, long. All done in God’s name. The very definition of heresy. On this Good Friday as I remember a savior who paid the ultimate price, my prayer is that my life continues to be a vessel through my work, purpose, talent. That even when I stumble, God always reaches out Their hand of love to guide me back. A savior who hypocrites today will mistreat the very same way because he was brown. A foreigner in their midst. That is really all I can do. Live a life of testimony so people can rediscover God’s grace and goodness 🙏🏽 #GoodFriday Photo shot in Ludza, Latgale, Latvia

  • What happens when your rates go up but your past working relationships haven’t caught up? One situation we often talk about with regards to personal relationships is the loss that occurs when expansion and evolution occurs. When these dynamics shift, there’s an uncomfortable space where we have to both mourn the loss of the relationship while celebrating our next stage, transition, and alignment with our life’s purpose. But what about in the work place? Within your specific industries? In the freelancing world? When people who once cherished your voice now balk at your rates? As if you aren’t worthy of it? It’s akin to forever treating your kids like babies without acknowledging their teenage years or transition into adulthood. It’s difficult to mourn work relationships that once made sense in your metaphoric youth and not so much in your new season. This is the deep channel of professional pain we must swim through as we make our way from tight ponds to expansive seas of possibilities. Let’s acknowledge this, but even better, in a world of limitations we impose on ourselves and each other, let’s celebrate growth and the courage it takes to evolve. #growth
