Imagine if you could touch a rose bud and make it bloom. If you could clear away a storm with a wave of your hand. If you could use your words to make someone feel enveloped in your love. If you could be the arms that lifted someone up. If you could be the...

Being generous is about more than giving money or donating something. Being generous is about making room for others. Creating space for them to feel. To grow. To live fully. There are simple ways we can be generous. By listening. Not waiting to say what we have to say. But actually listening and hearing...

We can’t do it all. We try. But we just can’t. And we either half ass a number of things. Or forget things altogether. Sometimes we’ve got to make tough decisions. Weigh the pros and cons.
