Comment l’évaluation de mes expériences de vie m’a aidé à définir mon but dans la vie

Engagée dans la tradition chrétienne de spiritualité, je me décris comme un éternel esprit évolutif, solidement chevillé à une expérience terrestre utile. Cela dit, je ne nierai pas que mon expérience terrestre est façonnée par mon sexe, mon appartenance ethnique et mon héritage culturel.

How assessing my life experiences helped me define my purpose in life

Deeply committed to the Christian tradition of spirituality, I define myself as an eternal, evolving spirit, having a purposeful, earthly experience. That said, I won’t deny that my earthly experience is shaped by my gender, ethnicity, and cultural heritage.

Living in the Kingdom of God on earth

The resilience of Black people in their struggle for equal rights and justice is testimony to the faithfulness of God.

I am in a place of gratitude, thankful for the opportunity to have led the amazing team at the Society.

Why we need to hear Derek Chauvin’s side of the story

After watching the 9-minute video clip of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin using his knee to press the last breath out of George Floyd, we need to hear Chauvin’s side of the story. I swore as I angrily smashed my tablet against my chair and screamed in pain watching Chauvin’s brutality and the indifference ofContinue reading “Why we need to hear Derek Chauvin’s side of the story”

We already know what we need to do If we look at nature, we see the unending abundance that surrounds us.  All nature, and in fact, the entire universe, provide us with a perpetual reminder that there is enough, and more, for all of us. We have an abundance of this world’s goods to share,Continue reading “Solving the world’s problems together is possible”
