> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #51: carry on

This past year redefined the way I live my life. The lessons tested my core values in the spaces of my career, my time, my purpose. It crafted a deeper sense of self-reflection that turned pain into purpose. It cracked open my depths of understanding that everything is internal — the way we talk to ourselves, the way we interpret situations, the way we react based from our reality. This trio determines the way we navigate the next steps, stepping into our best self or learning another lesson.

And maybe that’s how it feels to deepen our understanding and care of humanity… the heartbreaks and the happiness, the storms and the sunshine, the grieving and the gratitude. This year generated a strength inside of me that is graceful and gentle, compassionate and courageous, determined and dedicated.

This life is meant for us to carry on — as a light in the darkness, as a messenger in the noisiness, as a peacekeeper in the chaos.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #50: irregular

I was in a hurry the other day, running a little behind for an appointment. I had a bit of coffee left in my irregularly shaped cup, one that I knew wouldn’t fit in my cupholder. But I didn’t want to transfer it because… well, I’m not trying to clean more dishes than absolutely necessary.

Here I am — driving to this appointment, attempting to eat a post-workout protein bar, balancing this irregularly shaped coffee cup in the cupholder. I thought to myself what a mess it would be if it would spill, but the cup was less than half full and my protein bar was almost gone. So as I come down the hill, I see a police car on the side of the road. I instinctively hit the brakes and the coffee spills directly into the cupholder, holding still a few sips because I clearly needed the coffee post-spill.

And all I could think about is how often we force something, even though we know it doesn’t fit. We still rush, even though we know we should enjoy the journey. We still doubt ourselves, even if we are going the speed limit. We still worry about cleaning up the mess, even if it lands conveniently in a contained space.

Today, I took another irregularly shaped cup in my car, knowing it wouldn’t fit in the cupholder but trusting myself a little more. No force, no rush, no doubt, no worry.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #49: joy

I was scooting to one of my new fav coffee shops with one of my favorite humans this morning. This song came on that I’ve listened to on repeat, but this one line kept replaying in my mind: “What a joy it is to fall into your presence.”

And I started processing this one statement, creating a sense wonder in a burst of thoughts:
-How often have I overlooked or undervalued the joy of someone’s presence?
-Imagine falling into someone’s presence, like a symphony of gentle love notes.
-The older I get, the more drastic my goals shift from doing to being.
-Presence is a gift — no distractions, no competition, no fear.
-Should I create a workshop on the intentionality of being present?
-If I “caught” myself being present for the next 30 days, what would shift?

Anyway, the beauty of falling into someone’s presence is now something I’ll consciously be monitoring and grateful for… not just convenient presence, but intentional presence. Because there is something deeply valuable, deeply human, about being with someone who is fully there — unfiltered, unbothered, unhurried.

Even if only for a few seconds.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #48: carriers

This morning, I was flipping through the pages of the notebook I bring to church. Out of curiosity, I looked at the first entry, the page I left undated because I thought I had abundant faith and uncertainty if four walls could generate a deeper sense of purpose. I thought I had enough reminders in life — humans, places, situations. Like the sunsets created enough of an exhale, allowing me to find gratitude on the heaviest days.

But this entry reminded me why I continue to attend, sitting quietly so I can absorb the message that expands my grace and creates calm in my chaos. Those four walls build community organically, design timely messages to heal and rejuvenate, and welcome all to be carriers of hope. Those four walls contain a plethora of love and have enough courage to expand in untraditional ways, piloting a more impactful sense of doing life together. Because together is more hopeful.

May you find ways to be a carrier of hope... through the good and the bad, the organized and the messy, the inhale and the exhale.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #47: pace

I’ve been thinking about death a lot lately — but in the most effective way. Almost a decade ago, I took a class that tasked me to write a death plan, complete with directions on how I wanted to be remembered. And I vividly recall the flood of emotions when I wrote notes to my family, realizing there are so many things I need to tell them now. But I found solace in the uptick of gratefulness I felt for the ordinary, the extraordinary, and everything in between.

So as these thoughts are lining my every day, I read somewhere that “it feels impossible to pace ourselves” when so much is unknown… how many more days we have in this life, how many more visits we have with those who love us unconditionally, how many more sunsets we can watch with awe. And I started to think about all the ways we rush, we complain, we stay bothered. But for what? Should life really be this serious? Why is it hard to remember that worrying is just suffering twice?

I pray you enter this season and the rest of your life in a state of gratitude: one that feels authentic to the humans + things that matter deeply to you; one where you find joy in the smallest + largest ways; and one that honors the unique value + gifts you bring into this space. Pace yourself, gratefully.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #46: shine

In the current state of the world, it may feel like self-reflection is a rarity, like kindness needs a reminder, like isolation preserves peace. The intense volume of the worst case scenario fills every media outlet, creating confusion and fear with every click. And the requirement of continuing with business as usual generates overwhelm because safety seems inequitable.

Some days it feels impossible to decipher the truth, overthinking what is in our control or if we even want to be in control. Because without knowing what is fiction from fact, we are in a consistent spiral, riding an inefficient rollercoaster that never leads to the path of discovering the micro joys of the present.

So when I heard a lyric in a song, it disrupted my cycle of overwhelm and exhaustion. Olivia B Moore says, “learning how to hold space without rewriting the truth.” Because we can’t just wish away some truths or disregard situations because it’s not directly impacting us… but we can learn how to hold space, how to love bolder, how to be a light.

Collectively, we can shine brighter than the darkness.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #45: life

I was having a conversation with a student the other day. He said, “But one thing I love about life…”

My mind raced — scouring my memories to find the last time I said those words, searching for the feeling that stayed longer than a fleeting moment, rushing to remember the heaviness of the current state of humanity. Why would that phrase be a constant in my daily conversations when the divide feels unmanageable, when the rationalization of whether someone’s actions cause irreparable damage, when selfishness becomes the way to justify the harm we cause?

But maybe that is the problem. We decreased or halted talking about the things we love about life to focus on what someone else may receive, allowing fear to dictate our behavior. Our thoughts become our reality, generating a multitude of ways to create internal dysfunction, pulling our heart further from our mind. We’ve entered a space where time is of the essence — to lead with love, with courage, and with humanity.

My challenge for us is to find one daily love from life. The future is counting on us.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #44: room

Some of my favorite artists are pumping out music that I need to hear. It’s as if the lyrics needed to find their way to me, in the most perfect moment when I was ready to consume it. And, often, I play songs on repeat to allow the words to soak into my soul, creating this balm for the thought loops or unanswered questions.

One of the songs sang at church says, “And I will make room for you…” Those few words feel like the loudest love language — that one where someone drops everything to show up for you, where someone sits with you in silence while you cry, where someone cheers for you at full capacity because they see your brilliance, where someone expands your margin of error because they know perfection is unrealistic. It feels like the biggest blessing when we have humans who will build a chair so we have somewhere to sit, who speak about our gifts in our absence, who love us unconditionally through the suffering and victories of this human experience.

And what a gift to give that back to humanity.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #43: daily glimmers

I spent the better part of last year neglecting my resolutions for 2025. It was a similar story of my past resolutions — start strong, fade fast. Like the intentionality and lived experience were taken into consideration, but life lifed, and I found myself creating excuses or lists of reasons why I ran out of time every day to take care of myself. Similar to past years of guilt and disappointment… feelings that I usually don’t want to sit with too long.

But this year, I made a decision to try something else. No resolutions, no goals, no pacts, no promises. Just an idea: to find one glimmer per day, without pressure or reminders, that generates a feeling of awe. Some days are big — like how technology can keep me updated on my dad’s medical procedure, ensuring I know the process step-by-step, helping ease the unknown. And some days are small — like how pepper enhances the flavor of my protein mac and cheese. But all my glimmers are rooted in awe, in presence, in curiosity. They help ground me in ways that generate energy rather than deplete it. Because I get to decide what matters in the moment, creating a new depth in gratitude.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #42: opinions

It’s hard imaging life as a kid right now... surrounded by the loudness of opinions in real life and online, stuck in a cycle of negative news and constant busyness, triggered by big emotions from dysregulated adults.

Fear. Anxiety. Distrust. Us verses Them.

It’s wild to think about how these kids will grow older — some continuing the same hateful rhetoric they learned in their most developmental years, some shutting down when the heaviness feels consuming and carrying that load alone, some figuring out how to love more intentionally as they navigate a world so focused on being right.

And while my prayers are becoming more frequent, I’m choosing to love a little harder, especially to the humans who spend more time rationalizing why their opinion should be the loudest while minimizing the collateral damage to those who didn’t fit into the box of “rightness.” And my hope is one day we are all able to generate opinions grounded in love rather than fear, from abundance rather than scarcity.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #41: daily

For almost a year, I’ve had three daily books, each containing a single page of wisdom or intentional reminders. At first, I read them every night before bed, checked the task off, and felt less overwhelmed because it took less than five minutes. But when I started missing a night — too tired, too busy, too rushed — it became easier to miss the next one. Ironically, I spent more time thinking about it than it would’ve taken to just do it.

Eventually, I’d catch up to the current date and vow to stay consistent. But each time I did, the catch-up process felt more like a chore: flipping pages just to return to where I was “supposed” to be, missing the entire point of the pause I wanted to create.

And now, for the first time all year, I’m a day ahead. Not because I’m trying a new strategy, but because the small daily tasks finally added up to something different: feeling a bit less rushed, a bit less obligated, a bit less pressured. And sometimes that tiny sense of accomplishment is enough to nudge us into doing the next thing we’ve been putting off… like exercise. :)

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #40: dimensions

I was reading an article the other day about the dimensions of wellness, preparing for deep discussion with some students. And I started thinking about our habitual response we have to judge, fix, or dismiss a problem presented by another human who may just need space to let it out. It’s like the helper or healer in us just tends to chase harmony… even if that harmony is dependent on an internal response from the problem holder.

So then I wondered: what if our dialogue — (no lecturing, no judging, no problem-solving) — involved the dimensions of wellness? What if we patiently walked through them and asked which dimension feels out of balance?

Because for me, feeling “off” is rarely about a single problem. It’s often depletion in one dimension or overcompensation in another. And maybe if we approached each other with curiosity, we could co-create activities or moments that help strength whatever dimension needs attention.
