The Art of Remembering: Finding Pieces of Your Soul in the Everyday
Life’s unremarkable moments are often where the deepest treasures are buried. To remember oneself is an art that has less to do with grand revelation and more with the quiet persistence of presence. This remembering begins in the daily ritual of showing up to your life, alert and attuned to what stirs within. It’s the thread of your soul waiting for you to follow, through the mundane and into the sacred.
The Art of Remembering: Finding Pieces of Your Soul in the Everyday
The art of soul work is not confined to rituals performed in hushed rooms or grand ceremonies that summon distant echoes; it is found in the smallest, most ordinary acts. It’s in the way you greet the morning, in how you touch the edge of an old photograph, in the pause before you speak a word that carries weight. To remember the soul is to practice an ancient kind of listening, one that feels more like a remembering than a discovery.
Beyond Healing: The Journey to Empowerment
Healing is an old song that life sings, a lullaby passed down by time itself. It is slow, deliberate, weaving through your being like the wind through tall grass. But empowerment—now that is a drumbeat, a summons. It is not content to linger on the edges; it calls you to rise, to stand in your story as if it were your birthright. Healing and empowerment may share the same soil, but they are not the same fruit.
The Art of Remembering: Gathering Fragments of Your Soul in the Everyday
To meet the pieces of your own soul isn’t a grand arrival but a quiet reckoning. It’s the act of showing up, allowing your presence to fill each small moment. The journey to the soul, strange as it may seem, begins in the unremarkable places of daily life, woven into the plain threads of habit and the ordinary rhythm of breath. When I guide clients in reconnecting with their soul’s essence, I invite them to find themselves not in the rare and the extraordinary but in the close and the familiar. It’s a slow, grounded presence, a kind of noticing, that can reveal this connection—a steady magnetism that draws the soul back into each part of the day.
The Art of Remembering: A Retreat into Your Authentic Self
There is a longing beneath the noise of daily life—a pull toward a truth you have known but not named. This is the sacred work: a retreat from the commonplace into the unmapped terrain of your true self. This space, uniquely created for each soul, is where masks are set aside, and the whispering depths of your essence are finally met with compassion. Imagine stepping
Janet’s Final Breath: Wrestling With Meaning at the Edge of Life
When I first wrote this, it was early—just after 6 a.m. The hospice room held a stillness that was anything but peaceful. Janet’s breath, fast and shallow, ticked away like a second hand on an old clock, marking time in a rhythm that defied comprehension. At 8:33 a.m., she took her last breath. I never posted this draft, then. The immediacy of her passing eclipsed
Beyond Healing: Liberating Yourself from Suffering into Empowerment
The Dance Between Healing and Empowerment In the landscape of healing work, healing and empowerment walk as close but separate companions. Healing is the slow work of unfolding what has been closed in us, of meeting suffering without looking away, of becoming familiar with the places we tend to sidestep. It is a patient and ongoing presence that demands resources—our resilience, our willingness, and our

Awaken the Dragon Within: A Journey into Courage, Community, and Creative Fire
There are books that tell stories, and then there are books that become stories in our lives—stories that awaken something dormant, urging us to rise into the fullness of who we are meant to be. My dear friend and my eye doctor, Dr. Vi Tu Banh’s Twelve Elephants and a Dragon is one such book. It’s not merely a recounting of his extraordinary life; it
The Inertia of Waiting: Rest as a Sacred Act in Unsettled Times
In this time on the planet, there’s a kind of aching tension many feel but rarely name. It’s the discomfort of waiting—not just for something specific, but for a moment when things might feel settled, less uncertain. It’s the weight of collective exhaustion, of trying to live purposefully while feeling pulled under by the seemingly endless stops and starts. It’s not laziness that slows us;
Have You Met the Real You?
In a world heavy with masks and postures, where we’re trained to wield a hundred different selves for a hundred different moments, it’s a rare thing to know your truest self—the one that waits beneath, untouched by roles, outside opinions, or the weight of becoming. This work, what I call Intuitive Integrative Coaching, is an invitation to journey inward, to move beyond what you show
