  • I Know Peace Because I Used To Be At War.

    In today’s episode

    I made a commitment to peace about a year ago, and people are noticing.

    To be at peace or war with oneself —that’s the choice in living, day in and day out.

    Today’s affirmation

    I choose to accept only those beliefs which empower my life.

    Retraced Steps

    written by Kellion Knibb

    I came back

    to the roots that bred me
    now I see
    I forgot the girl
    I used to be
    Once
    I had dreams of a circumstance
    I knew could be more than fantasies
    Here I am
    back at their inception
    looking at the traces
    of the places
    that first rendered me
    a daydreamer,
    thirsty and hopeful
    I see the faces
    of those who made me
    a pathfinder,
    shaping possibilities
    to realities
    finding direction
    I didn’t know to pray for
    These roots
    taught me to be faithful
    now, here I am, grateful
    for the childhood,
    the village that allowed me to imagine
    a life converging
    with my girlhood reveries
    the woman I wanted to be is supplanted,
    no longer a dreamt-up montage
    she is here in these words
    and out in the world,
    but always in touch with where
    her roots started.
