Take the Step

Even if it Doesn’t Make Sense This morning, I’m writing to you from my childhood home on Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada. One week ago, I was on a plane from Taipei, and it was barely a week before that when the idea to be here was planted in my mind. But this isn’t just…

Patience

How is this any different than what I have been asking for, every single day, for months on end?
I feel frustrated and impatient. It dawned on me that impatience is a lack of willingness to wait on the Universe/ God/ whatever to provide. If I am not willing to wait, then I’m not living in faith. I’m not leaning deeply into that trust which has so consistently provided for me over the years.

Something About Crystals

“Hey, random question. Do you use crystals, or know anything about crystals?” One of my very best friends asked me this question this afternoon, just as I happened to be returning home from a crystal-shopping mission across town.

From Karaoke to Conferences

From Karaoke to Conferences
When I was 11 years old, I sang a Backstreet Boys song in front of 1000 people. This in itself is remarkable; unfortunately, the DJ played it for the previous group by mistake! I had two choices: shrink, or sing. And I chose…

Thursday Night Wishes

A short blessing for you this evening, since it’s late in the day and I didn’t set aside time to write earlier! May you be happy May you be at peace May you be healthy May you live with ease I took this picture of a dog wandering along the road in Yilan a few…
