Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

Sunday Inspiration: The Most Beautiful Thing

Sometimes privilege looks like being able to ignore a crisis that others are dying from.
—Blair Imani

Sunday Inspiration: Everyday Magic

—Charles de Lint

Sunday Inspiration: Tears

There are many things that can only be seen through eyes that have cried.

Words are sacred. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones, in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

Purpose is not related to career. It’s related to what God put inside you that you’re supposed to give to the world.
