When you intentionally focus on what’s good, your brain doesn’t just register a pleasant thought—it physically changes. This process is driven by microplastics, the brain’s lifelong ability to reorganize itself by forming and strengthening neural connections based on repeated thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Complaining is a way of life for some people. It was certainly a way of life for my mother. I don’t remember a day going by without her complaining, endlessly. I don’t think I ever heard a word of gratitude out of my mother’s mouth. No matter how good things were, she would manage to find something wrong. No matter how perfect I was – and God knows I tried to be perfect! – she always found something wrong with me, as well as with my father.

Different governments, officials, environmental agencies exhort us to conserve the energy we use in order to save the environment and sustain our continued existence on the planet. On a personal level I think that we also need to know how to conserve, focus and maximise our own personal supply of energy.

This letter is written from a place of truth, love, and deep responsibility to my people. We have carried weight that was never meant to break us, yet we are still standing—strong, united, and resilient. Black people are rooted in power, shaped by endurance, and driven by purpose. Our unity is our strength, our love is our shield, and our excellence is our legacy. We rise not in spite of what we have endured, but because of it. When we stand together, honor one another, and uplift our communities, we affirm that our lives, our voices, and our futures matter. Black strength is generational. Black love is sacred. Black excellence is unstoppable.

I spent 30 days identifying birds using only sound, without relying on sight. At first, bird calls blended together and highlighted how dependent they were on visual cues. Over time, patterns like rhythm, pitch, and repetition became clearer, improving listening skills and confidence (with plenty of mistakes along the way). By the end, birds felt more present in daily life, teaching that careful listening can deepen birding skills, appreciation for common species, and overall connection to nature. 🐦

I wrote this after months of looking for my missing cat. Eventually I had to except that in the cruel cold of Canada in the winter, she wasn't coming back.

When faith fractures, silence can feel like abandonment. After a public failure drives her away from the church and the life she once trusted, Mara Collins returns to the small town she swore she’d never see again. Grace Hollow remembers everything—especially what she tried to forget. Still believing in God but no longer trusting Him, Mara navigates grief, regret, and the quiet ache of unanswered prayers. As she’s pulled back into the lives of others who are hurting, Mara begins to discover that God’s work doesn’t always arrive loudly—or on our terms. Sometimes redemption begins not with certainty, but with staying present long enough to hear hope whisper again.

Evil in its purest form isn't found on death row or in history books. While those places overflow with humanity's darkest acts and most twisted minds, genuine evil, pure evil, operates beyond such obvious stages
