30 Days of Prayer : Move Mountains
I’m in an interesting waiting period. I gave myself the month to move so that I do not feel rushed. I also gave myself time to say goodbye to friends and the life that I have known for the past 7.5 years in LA and 12.5 years in my former career. I’ve been really efficient…

Power Thought #1 – Honor Your Strength and Power
I meditated this morning, for the first time in months. I had forgotten how powerful intentional moments of silence is when it’s practiced.
