"Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence." - Dr. Peter A. Levine

I wonder what this means for you and the trauma you've experienced or are experiencing.

Pulling from the late pastor and theologian, Eugene Peterson, in his Solo devotional book, this week I'd like to invite you to reflect on 1 Kings 17:7-16. More specifically, what is your jar of flour- something that's in need of being filled up? What's being asked of you that seems like too much?

In terms of self-care and mental and emotional health, what place does pen and paper have in your life?

How are you speaking up and advocating for your mental and emotional health?

"My real questions and concerns are these things: Where do we go from here? How will we go about the process of love and reconciliation with one another?"

This week I'd like to offer the following affirmation: It's OK to cry.

Have you ever considered how much power is in the following three words: "I love you"?

How do you go about managing your emotions? Not only do your emotions affect you and your well-being, but they also affect the well-being of those around you.

This week I'm offering some reflections on a reality that I- and so many others- are living into- being single during the COVID-19 pandemic.

What does your self-love and affirmation look like?
