Facing The Darkness. Content Warning.
The World can be a Scary Place, and there is Darkness that exists. I have been thinking about this a lot today. I received an email from an organization that I donate to, Save the Children.

What's The Cost Of A Conscience
Does anyone remember when having a conscience was a good thing? It's been weighing on my mind as of late. It all comes from a discussion with a member of the Millenials, and to word it that way makes them sound like an evil click.

When Strengths Become Weaknesses
In Positive Psychology, there is a lot of talk about Leaning into your Strengths. There is a lot of Value in this as well.

Dendritic Growth. Content Warning.
The abyss is often seen as a terror—something to run from or act as though it were a barrier. It is understood as a void—the "great chasm fixed" between two impossible points of existence or the deepest strata of our earth and seas. You've perhaps heard that Nietzsche said if you gaze into it long enough, it gazes back. It is not a space to be navigated lightly; instead, entered with caution, or better yet, avoided entirely.

Invisible Yet Unbroken: The Struggle for Identity and Survival
Growing up in an Indigenous community facing ongoing marginalization, dominated by the mainstream, is to experience a constant battle for recognition and survival. While much of it remains not visible, Indigenous peoples face deep injustices repeatedly, from the erasure of their identity to the theft of their ancestral land. These experiences aren’t just abstract policy issues, they are lived realities that shape entire lives. The most painful part is watching, feeling, and knowing you are invisible in the very land your parents called home.

It's a good thing, ain't it?
You'd think that the brilliance of a sugar maple leaf in autumn would shatter all doubts about the quality of the season, right? Just look at this tree! I took this photo about seven years ago on my way home from work. I knew it was close to the end of the leaf-peeping season, so I purposefully took a route that would lead me past this particular beauty. I pulled into the weeds on the side of the road, climbed out of my 2004 Civic, and proceeded to snap some photographs with my ancient Samsung cell phone.

Hidden Bias Chains In Leadership
Most of us have heard the word "Bias" before. We all have some Biases, even when we understand that a Bias is a tendency to favor or oppose something or someone in a way that is unfair, inaccurate, or closed-minded.

Through the Shadows: Zarnab's Journey from Despair to Hope
The bright lights of Imtiaz Supermarket in Karachi buzzed overhead, casting a harsh glare that only worsened Zarnab’s throbbing headache. She pushed her cart through the crowded aisles, her heart heavy with exhaustion. Her three children—Sarah, 9, Ali, 6, and Noor, just 3—clung to her as they moved through the store, their presence barely registering in Zarnab's numb state. She loved them, she knew she did, but the constant weight of worry and despair had dimmed that love, trapping her in a haze of emptiness.

Bullying In Ghana Is So Horrific They Created A Word For It Why Doesn't Government Fix It?
Monday, 16 September 2024 By: TB Obwoge Accra, Ghana - Via a WhatsApp conversation, I had a long conversation with a Ghanaian man about the bullying in Ghana. After living in the country, I couldn't understand how so many self-proclaimed 'politiest people of Africa' think they're behavior is polite.

Harnessing the Power of Shiny Objects
"Oh wow, you're fast." My colleague is impressed. By the time she started to wrap her head around the issue, I had already solved it.

Doing the Inner Work. Content Warning.
I stared down at my fingernails, trying to resist the urge to pick at the nail polish before staring back at the woman across from me. "I want to die."
