When Silence Is the Kindest Thing We Can Offer
There’s a delicate balance between empathy and honesty. A tension that rises when someone shares their trauma, heartbreak, or outrage—especially when, deep down, a part of us wants to say what we’re not supposed to say: “You didn’t see that coming?” “You voted for him/her.” “This is what you asked for.” “But they told you…

Better Late Than Never 😆
I can’t help but laugh. Have you ever repeated the same routine task for months—or even longer—and then had the idea to check if there’s a better, more effective, more efficient way? When you finally find a solution, it not only saves you time but also makes the process smoother. You might find yourself asking,…

Thought of the Day: Progress Over Stagnation
Be not afraid of going slowly; be only afraid of standing still. Chinese Proverb I’ve read this proverb many times over the years, but late last night I ran across it again and it stopped me. It made me pay attention and then look within. There’s a difference between stillness of observation and the stillness…

Spirituality Through My Lens
How important is spirituality in your life? Spirituality is different for everyone. It is defined by our interpretation, experiences, expectations, and the lenses we look through. For me, spirituality is the essence of me and the exploration I choose to seek each day. In my life, it is not tied to or defined by one…

What Does Gossip Say About Us?
I’m sitting here with a heavy heart and something popped in my mind that has allowed me to reflect on the act of gossip. Oxford Languages defines gossip as: casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true. “he became the subject of much local…

Are We Choosing Stress?
I saw this Eckhart Tolle quote two days ago and saved it. “Stress is caused by being ‘here’ but wanting to be ‘there’.” It’s okay to be in a blizzard (here) wishing you were in a calmer and warmer climate (there). It’s when we try to CONTROL our minds to think entirely or mostly of…

How Are You Honoring Dr. King and Your Legacy Today?
Seeing this quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. reminded me of a conversation I had years ago with his youngest daughter, Dr. Bernice A. King. We were discussing different topics that her parents were passionate about and interested in pursuing before they passed. We discussed the holiday dedicated to her father’s birthday and legacy,…

If I Could Witness a Time in History… (Part 1)
Ooh this is something that I’ve pondered before, and most of us remember this exercise from elementary school. So, I will take a spin with it again. The first thing that comes to mind happens to be my 5x great grandparents on my mom’s side, and more specifically, her father’s family line (on his maternal…

What We Learn From Those Who Harm Us
Today, as I was reflecting over a 10-year-old message I had written for my Breaking Bread blog, I started to look inward and examine how I’ve grown in some areas and still struggle in other areas. The post is on forgiveness and I can admit that I struggle with forgiving myself and others for various…

Thought of the Day: Mental Enslavement
The mind of a fool… Does not trust what he can’t see…But trusts what he can see, even if it’s a LIE! You claim you want freedom yet you choose your enslavement. Stretch your mind. You are only using a fraction of its capabilities. ~Natasha Copyright 2020. Natasha L. Foreman. All Rights Reserved.
