A Natural Turning Point Two days away with members of a business group-turned-friends became one of the most important pieces of my healing to date. Only a few weeks out from surgery, there was real uncertainty about whether recovery from home or away would best benefit me.

As I have dedicated myself to All-Things Healing, this was exactly what the doctor ordere

2026: The Year Contentment Chose Me For the past few years, I choose a word. Or at least, I think I do. I have found it to be an extremely powerful process for me, as it creates a beautiful reminder to connect back to the present moment. I was certain this year would be Joy. Then it was Ease. Then Now.

The Stories We Live Inside When we fail to see the beauty in our lives, we unconsciously strengthen our stories. We gather evidence from the pa

The Roadmap of Joy Written on Our Faces It shows when we least expect it. This is a picture taken just a few days ago without my knowing. The best part was the glow of the inner and outer smile. This is how we truly heal from within. As I recently found myself looking through photos taken while I was in the hospital recovering from neck surgery. In that forced stillness—when your body has no choice but to slow down—I saw myself from an angle I don’t often allow. Fluorescent

The Truth About Christmas A TNW Blog On this day (yesterday) —Christmas—I pause not to celebrate a story wrapped in ribbons, reindeer, or a man who slides down chimneys, but to honor an energy. An energy of awakening. An energy of Christ consciousness. Christmas, at its core, was never meant to be about presents, profit, or performance. It is about remembering a state of being—one that rises above fear, anger, violence, retribution, and even quiet resentment. It is about choo
