Facing Me: Why I Talked to My Reflection in the Mirror
I didn’t plan it. It wasn’t part of a morning routine or some viral self-love challenge. It happened one quiet Tuesday evening when the house was still, and the only sound was the hum of the refrigerator. I caught a glimpse of myself in the bathroom mirror.

Wake-Up Moments
I didn’t plan to wake up. And I don’t mean with coffee or an alarm clock. I mean really wake up—like, snap out of the fog, take a long, unflinching look at your life, and whisper to yourself: “This isn’t it.

Reiki Training
Author's Note: People who attend the Reiki III training I facilitate come for all three sessions. They have different materials. A couple different symbols than the three given to Reiki II people, and I ask that they pass an attunement during the class.
