“Patience and understanding will never go out of style – they are the bridges that hold us together.”

We’ve all had moments when communication feels like a puzzle. Words are exchanged, but the intended meaning gets lost somewhere between saying and hearing. In these moments of miscommunication, we could really use a metaphorical decoder ring - a mindset and approach that allows us to slow down, listen deeply, and connect with greater compassion.

Understanding each other isn’t always intuitive. Our…

We are taught to be of value
To weigh worth in output, in proof, in praise.
To measure ourselves in tasks completed,
In goals achieved, in ladders climbed.

But what if we are not here
To earn our place, to justify our space?
What if we are not coins to be spent,
Nor tools to be sharpened and used?

What if instead, we are of love?
Not something to be measured, but something to be felt.
Not something to prove, but something to give.

To be of love is to stand still
In a world that demands motion.
To be of love …

"Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!"

For half a century, Saturday Night Live (SNL) has done more than entertain us; it has shaped our culture, launched careers, and redefined the boundaries of comedy. From its very first episode in 1975, the show has evolved, adapted, and endured, proving that staying power isn’t about perfection - it’s about persistence, reinvention, and knowing when to take a risk.

As I have immersed myself in the 50th-anniversary specials, I have been struck by the many l…

Drifting in a sea of questions,
uncertain of where the shoreline lies,
I walk roads that once felt familiar,
but now dissolve beneath my feet.

The compass I once trusted
ambition, success, the path well-worn
now spins in endless circles,
pointing nowhere, whispering pause.

What can you do when you feel lost?
Not fight the fog, nor force the way,
but soften into stillness,
listen for the quiet glow within.

When the world blurs into shadow,
seek what sparks - what stirs - what sings.
Follow the embers of joy yo…

Why do we let other people’s definitions of success dictate our lives? It’s time to opt out of the noise, stop the comparisons, and align with what truly matters to us.

Social media and cultural expectations often make it feel like everyone else is winni…

How will we speak of these years,
When the air carried fear,
And silence filled the streets,
Where laughter once echoed?

Will we whisper of masks like ancient relics,
Fragile shields against an invisible tide,
Or of hands scrubbed raw,
Seeking solace in soap and water?

Perhaps we’ll recall the way time warped—
Days stretched long, yet months vanished,
And we learned to measure life
In the flicker of screens and the weight of absence.

Will we speak of the quiet heroes,
Not only those in scrubs and uniforms,
Bu…
