Inspiration

A Funny Story About Typos. Top Story - May 2025.
If you know me at all, you know I am a huge fan of Terry Pratchett, mayherestinpeace. If you aren't familiar, he wrote the Discworld series. "Series" is a bit of a misnomer, because each of the 41 novels can be enjoyed on its own, as a stand-alone story. (You can read them in any order, but most fans agree not to start with the first one, The Colour of Magic.)

The Envelope That Held More Than R50
Sometimes, the universe has a beautiful way of saying “I see you.” Mine came in the shape of a sealed blue envelope. It all started during our coaching program. We were asked to write a thank-you letter to ourselves — not the kind you’d post or email, but the kind that travels inward, finds your soul, and settles there like a hug from your future self. The task felt both emotional and refreshing, a moment of self-reflection I didn't know I needed until the pen touched paper.

The Day I Faced Him. Content Warning.
There are moments in life when your body knows something before your mind catches up. When your hands shake for reasons deeper than nerves. When you feel a shift, not like a whisper, but like a quake under your skin. For me, that moment came when I looked my ex-husband in the eyes from the witness stand and told the truth about what he did to me.

Leaving Everything Behind: A Story of Survival and Strength
Shortly before this journey, my pet passed away. It was yet another loss added to everything I had already been carrying. Then my romantic relationship ended, and I felt like my life was falling apart like a domino effect. When something falls, it drags everything that was barely holding up. That’s how I felt: fragile, but still standing.

Time Is Your Greatest Currency
In a world driven by wealth, possessions, and status, the most valuable resource you possess isn't in your bank account, garage, or resume — it's time. Unlike money, which can be earned, saved, or invested, time is non-renewable. Every second that passes is a second you’ll never get back. Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. That’s why time is your greatest currency, and how you spend it determines the true wealth and quality of your life.

"The Ant and the Grasshopper". AI-Generated.
In the heart of a lush meadow, where sunflowers turned their golden faces to the sun and crickets chirped in symphony with the breeze, lived two very different creatures: Ansel the Ant and Gideon the Grasshopper.

Inclusion Isn’t a Trend—It’s a Commitment by Shane Windmeyer
When I first began my journey as an advocate for LGBTQ+ equality, I believed inclusion was simply about being seen—being welcomed in the room, allowed to be who I am without shame or fear. Over time, and through decades of listening, leading, and learning, I’ve come to understand that inclusion is not just about being invited. It’s about being valued. It’s about knowing that your voice matters, that your differences are not only respected but also understood as essential to the success of the collective.
