PEACE: Hold on to Faith

  I have often asked myself, “How do I find peace when there is no peace?” Many of us find the peace we seek by going to church or simply connecting with the higher power through prayer and the study of scripture. But when surrounded by obstacles in day-to-day life, it is sometimes very hard to reclaim our “in motion” peace. The peace […]

PEACE: Your Best Self

  Many of us are our own worst critics. We examine ourselves from the reflection of expectations that surround us. Judging personal excellence against an imaginary status quo is a false measurement that cannot fulfill your eternal soul — the soul that breaks through the barriers of restraint for our own truth to be revealed. The courageous soul is one that possesses the self-confidence […]

PEACE: Stay the Course

  The experiences and encounters in our personal lives are a sign that the road we travel is ever-changing. The evolution of the universe exposes the truth we must face: the real and sometimes unpleasant reality that our lives will always change, and the only safe route is to stay the course. Routines give us peace. The routine of knowing that unconditional love […]

PEACE: Be the individual you want your culture to be!

  We have all experienced it: those times when you had hoped for a better reaction from yourself or others who represent your culture. And there are times when your culture is positively represented, making you proud of people who exhibit extraordinary character — a character embodied in compassion, intelligence, empathy, strength, and selflessness. The embrace of others is the love you give yourself. The […]

PEACE: Feeling Good!

  We encounter so many things in life that make us uneasy, sad, or mad. That’s why it is important to allow sunshine to enter our souls — to shine joy and happiness on our lives and sustain our “feel-good.” Outside of the substances being marketed to us, we must know our own natural triggers for euphoric happiness. The distinction between “happy” and “feeling […]

PEACE: Color Your Peace Yellow

  There are so many daily challenges to our peace of mind. We have to work consciously to keep the peace we long for, and keep it secure in a safe and protected part of our soul. As spring echoes over our days, life is so much better and brighter with the vibrant color of yellow — which blares out loud, warms […]

PEACE: Do politics bring peace?

  Many are running for office in Nevada. The seat that only fits “one person” — the person YOU vote for. Many are faced with socioeconomic challenges tied to housing, health care, mental illness, senior care, employment, undercapitalized business development, procurement opportunities, daycare, transportation, and homelessness. One of the ongoing dialogues that does not bring me peace, and is somewhat insulting, is the comment, “We can’t fix […]

PEACE: History binds U.S.

  In a day where divisions are celebrated, we should look to our past for corrective inspiration. History can be a great equalizer — showing us how ideas that have stood the test of time can bring two halves of a heart together. The heart of our nation is the diversity that all people bring […]

PEACE: New Year, New You

  Many will ring in the New Year with bells on, some will step into it with combat boots, and others will glide in with the wave of unanimous joy at midnight. As we anticipate the events of the coming year, no one really knows what 2018 will bring. Some things will be challenging — and others will be pleasant surprises that we […]

PEACE: Solace Within

  Peace is such a desired emotion. It’s a moment to take a deep breath and relax within the sense of self. Ultimately, the self-reckoning brings tremendous peace, allowing you to come to terms with whatever life brings — and letting you know that something greater than yourself will bring you through challenging times. Many people search outside, looking for words of affirmation to […]
