“I’d love for you to ask yourself: how am I applying old logic to an entirely new set of circumstances?” – Lola Wright There is a Jewish ritual called Yahrzeit, which is the day one year following the death of a loved one. It is a time to mourn and honor a loss through ceremony. As a people we are approaching a kind of collective Yahrzeit, a time to both recognize grief and honor everything that has come over the past year. While the future is still as uncertain as it ever has been, we cannot de...

“ Slay the stories that no longer serve your highest and holiest expression. Connect with the radical truth of who and what you are. ” – Lola Wright I have spent a lifetime seeking affirmation from other people, places, and things.

“The world says there are good people and bad people. But we have to surrender the limitations of duality and begin to entertain that there is just one power, it's neutral and it goes where we direct it to flow.” - Mark Anthony Lord We grow up with the world screaming that there are two powers. Dualistic thinking of right and wrong, good and bad leads us to humanity’s suffering loop.

“This is the great paradox - as you cultivate intimate relationship with your struggle, as you bring it forward into the light, into your awareness, it becomes a neutralizing experience. And you will find stillness on the other side of that.” - Lola Wright It's such an important time of the calendar year to get honest about what is nudging you, weighing you down, and holding you back. It really is true that what we resist persists. When you fight against that which burdens you, what you’re reall...

“Be graceful with yourself. There's nothing wrong with you. You are here for a right and holy purpose. You have had all of the experiences in this lifetime that have prepared you to move beyond your neurotic navel gazing tendencies - which is not the truth of who you are - into a contribution. You're here to be a gift. You're here to take an inventory of the blessings that you have and then imagine how you can offer them up to those you're in relationship with.” – Lola Wright When you do the wor...

“If we realized that we have the power as the people, to decide to take back our own decisions and abilities and our own power; to make good and right decisions for the good of the whole, we will leave room and space. There are many different flowers in the Garden of God. And there are many different ways in which those flowers cross pollinate. There's room and space for all of us to grow and be healthy and we can make room.” - Bishop Yvette Flunder When society does not accept you for who you a...
