In our modern society, it’s all too easy to fall into the trap of numbing ourselves to avoid discomfort and pain. Whether it’s through addictive behaviors like substance abuse, excessive screen time, overeating, or seeking constant validation on social media, numbing acts as a temporary escape from the challenges and uncertainties of life. However, while numbing may provide temporary relief, it ultimately hinders our growth and prevents us from experiencing true healing and fulfillment. Numbing behaviors often function as distractions, keeping us stuck in cycles of avoidance and denial. Instead of facing our emotions and confronting the root causes of our pain, we bury them beneath layers of temporary pleasure and distraction. However, by numbing ourselves, we only prolong our suffering and delay the process of true healing. It’s important to recognize that growth and healing require us to step out of our comfort zones and confront our fears and insecurities head-on. As Abraham Maslow famously said, “In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.” When we choose numbing behaviors, we are essentially stepping back into safety, perpetuating a cycle…
Hello, dear friends and fellow journeyers! 🌟 Welcome back to my cozy corner where we explore the rugged landscapes of life, transforming wounds into wisdom and hardships into stepping stones. Today, I want to delve into the profound theme of embracing life’s journey—a roadmap to healing and fulfillment. The Winding Path of Healing Life’s journey is a winding path, and each twist and turn shapes us into the resilient beings we are today.

It’s a journey of self-discovery, self-compassion, and resilience. Embracing healing means acknowledging the pain, understanding its impact, and allowing ourselves the grace to move forward. The Compass of Self-Discovery To embark on the journey of healing, we first need to discover who we are beneath the layers of trauma. Self-discovery is like the compass guiding us through uncharted territories. Take a moment…
Introduction: On December 15, 2019, what started as a routine Sunday breakfast turned into a life-altering experience for Jon and me. Little did we know that the day would unfold into a story of survival, faith, and the miraculous gift of time. The Normal Sunday Turned Extraordinary: Our usual Sunday routine included breakfast with our granddaughter, Charlotte. On this particular day, a sense of urgency prompted me to cut short Charlotte’s visit, leading to a decision that would alter the course of our lives. As we reached our daughter’s apartment, the unforeseen unfolded. The Unthinkable Moment: In a matter of seconds, Jon collapsed, lifeless. Panic set in as I initiated CPR alongside our daughter’s boyfriend, Shawn, who happened to be trained in CPR. The seconds felt like an eternity as we fought to revive Jon.

Introduction: The concept of love has been defined in various ways, often conditioned by circumstances and emotions. Merriam-Webster describes love as a noun and verb, encompassing affection, desire, and tenderness. However, true, enduring love is a profound force that transcends these definitions. The Biblical Definition: In 1 Corinthians 13:4-5, the Bible offers a timeless definition of love: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.” This definition, known as Agape love, reflects an unconditional and steadfast love that goes beyond fleeting feelings.

Choosing Agape love elevates us to our highest selves, resonating throughout our entire being with a loving vibration. Living a Love-Inspired Life: Choosing love as an inspiration for life allows us to live in the present moment. It grants us the grace and forgiveness to let go of past wrongs and the faith to release worries about the…
