What lessons can we learn from our shadows? There is a lot to learn about ourselves when we are willing to venture into the parts of us that we have shunned, ignored, or repressed.

It's that time of year! No matter your religion or culture, the end of the year is filled with traditions. In this episode we looked at a few of our own, talked about how some traditions start, and discussed ways we can honor our peace by examining how the traditions serve us or those around us.

A very unexpected event this week left Rachel feeling a bit disoriented. After digging into that feeling a bit, it was easy to compare to how many of us must be feeling after living through this current pandemic and tumultuous time. How can we better orient our days and our lives so we aren't just wandering aimless and disoriented?

Do you forgive and forget? Or hold grudges? Our ability to forgive directly effects the control we have over our own lives. Without forgiveness, we succumb to a life of victimhood.
