Why We Feel Invisible in a Room Full of People
The Party Where No One Saw Her Vanessa had been at the party for forty-three minutes, and she had become a ghost. Not literally, of course. She was standing right there—by the kitchen island, holding a glass of wine she wasn't drinking, wearing the emerald dress her sister said made her look confident. She was physically present in a room with thirty-seven other people, all of them laughing and talking and *connecting* in ways that seemed to come so naturally to everyone but her.

Destiny: Defined and Described
Many people live their entire lives giving no thought to their destiny. They neglect to see that their destiny is connected to everything they think, feel, and do. Once they embrace their destiny, they will understand how their lives are aligned.

When Hard Days Became My Best Teachers
Some nights feel like the universe has turned against you. For me, it happened at twenty-nine. I was curled on my kitchen floor, holding a pink slip in one hand and an eviction notice in the other, whispering into the emptiness, “Why me?” Life had been relentless: a lost job, a broken engagement, and family tension that left me isolated. In that dark moment, I realized something profound—these weren’t punishments. They were my best teachers, hiding in plain sight, disguised as storms.

8 Income Lessons I Learned Outside of School
School taught me how to follow instructions, memorize facts, and pass exams. What it didn’t teach me was how to earn a living in the real world. I learned that lesson the hard way—standing in line at a bank, holding my first paycheck, realizing how quickly it disappeared. That was the moment I understood something important: my real income education didn’t begin in a classroom. It began in life.

The Wrong Stuff: The Untold Story of the Mercury 13 and the Dreams That Were Grounded by Bias
When we look back at the grainy, triumphant footage of the early 1960s Space Race, the imagery is deeply embedded in the American psyche. We see towering rockets capped with tiny silver capsules, Mission Control centers filled with chain-smoking men in white shirts and skinny ties, and, of course, the astronauts themselves. They were the embodiment of mid-century masculine heroism: fighter jocks with buzzcuts and iron jaws, possessing what author Tom Wolfe famously dubbed "The Right Stuff." They were Alan Shepard, John Glenn, and Gus Grissom—names etched into history books as the pioneers who rode fire into the heavens to beat the Soviet Union.

ENLIGHTENMENT
"The inherent truth is that we need to accept who we are without compromise, bring forth our genuine nature, pay no mind to what others construct about ourselves, and most importantly live our true authentic purpose with ease and grace. You cannot be someone else, you cannot mimic others achievements, you must be true to you. No amount of smoothing out the fondant can conceal the cracks within the interior foundation. Loss of self represents cracks in your foundation. You cannot live life living another’s process, path, dream, or vision, as you have to stay true to your lived reality, meaning your internal construct. Unconditional love and unconditional acceptance cannot occur when we cannot accept ourselves truly. Embrace who you truly are without dramatics, creating veneers, façades, or shielding. Give yourself the permission to be vulnerable and open to all experiences that life has to offer, as that is the essence of life. You are either trapped in a bell jar, reflecting within the looking glass, placing a magnifying glass on your intricate delicate or fragile core wounds, or are embracing your spectrum of kaleidoscopic colours by living your divine truth." - Elisabeth Babarci (Celestial Light)

This Is What Growth Actually Feels Like
I remember the day I hit rock bottom like it was yesterday. It was a rainy Tuesday in my tiny apartment, staring at a stack of rejection emails from jobs I desperately needed. At 32, I felt like a failure—divorced, broke, and drowning in self-doubt. Growth? It sounded like a buzzword for Instagram influencers. But that day, something shifted. This is what growth actually feels like: not a straight line upward, but a gritty, tear-streaked climb through the mud.
