An Offer of Comfort

Apr 01, 2023 06:00AM ● By Rev. Jennifer L. Sacks

Early in my career, I developed a hard shell. It was a protective layer, like Teflon, to shield my sensitive nature. Because of that shell, I sometimes acted without integrity. It was easier than sharing my heart.

Lessons from My Younger Self

Feb 01, 2023 06:00AM ● By Linda Minnick

The house I lived in as a child sat at the end of the street and had a good-sized backyard that extended into a city park. For my 10 siblings and me, the line between our yard and the park blurred, and we claimed that adjacent part of the park as our own.

Feast for the Soul

Dec 01, 2022 06:00AM ● By Rev. Jennifer L. Sacks

Glo Bunny and The Hawk

Sep 01, 2022 06:00AM ● By Tammy Billups

The experience with Glo Bunny and the hawk showed me that overreacting and overprotecting does not serve anyone. I’d projected “bad” onto the hawk and “good” onto the potential victim, Glo Bunny—easy labels that didn’t actually fit the moment.

Enjoying New Little Things

Aug 01, 2022 06:00AM ● By Denise Natasha Brewley (Chef Beee), PhD, MBA, HHC

I recently took a road trip from the Southeast to the Midwest with my family to spend time with an old friend, and what an amazing trip it was. I have to admit, I had never ventured out to the Midwest before.

Who Gets to Define Me?
