  I learned about a one-word check in during my years at @drexeluniv in the Culture of Respect. As an introvert, who's heart palpitates at the mere thought of public speaking, this simple practice of using my voice, being heard, and sharing was incredibly...

When I opened my window this morning, this is the gorgeousness I saw. The moon is peeking up at the top. The sun is peeking down at the bottom. We are both. The light and the dark. We can be both. Without one, there is not the other. Embrace your wholeness. ? ☀️?...

  Okay. Help.   This seems so silly. But I'm outside at a Rec center tonight and a group of teens is here. I'm just doing my thing and they are endlessly teasing this one young woman. They keep taking her keys, playing keep away with them, throwing them into...
