The Burden of a Mask I have long carried a crushing burden of pain, a weight that trapped me in silence. My life has been a struggle behind a mask, a facade to navigate a world that never knew me. This disconnect has been a lonely battle of unbearable hardship. Now, as my physical health declines, I am in a new fight.

❓What signs have you been dismissing—just because they lacked “proof”?🎙 Don’t miss Danielle Spartz @lifecoachingwith_danielle @spartzcrewadventures ’s interview released on September 24th. She reflects on how the universe is guiding you—even as the chaos, ego and doubt creep in. You might question the gentle nudges, brush off the synchronicities, and hold out for a bigger, louder sign.

When we were kids, we were fascinated with insects. But by the time you’re an adult, you come to hate them. It doesn’t matter what kind, they’re all a hassle. We have a problem with ants numerous times throughout the year. It could be because of where we live, the fact that we’re near the river, or perhaps that they built our house on a slab. Like many places across America, wasps are a recurring issue for us, too. However, over the last couple of days, we’ve been inundated with tiny bugs, and I’m

John 3:3-5Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”“How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.”+Birthing transforms parent and child.

Steven Birenbaum reminisces about his carpool experience after he moved to the Bay Area.

“Artists are the people that tune into the future and bring it into the present.”I originally saw this quote and thought about so many bright and wonderful things! So many things that have been created that have brought joy to so many. I pictured in my mind the paintings from Archibald Motley. His works constantly show the motion and vibrancy of the Black community. I heard the swinging style of Duke Ellington. The poetic excellence of Langston Hughes. All of these artists and so many more come to

Why I created this for youEvery day, the world asks us to perform, to pour out, to give. And if we’re not careful, we forget to pour back into ourselves.
