PEACE: Flowing like water

BY KIMBERLY BAILEY-TUREAUD In a world that never seems to stand still, we often feel the tremors of change beneath our feet. Seasons, conversations, and relationships shift. Even our inner landscapes evolve in quiet, unseen ways.  With each movement can come discomfort — the unsettling awareness that we are no longer standing where we once […]

LIVING: PLANTING YOUR SEEDS

Bitter melon and fighting diabetes Diabetes is a chronic condition that disproportionately affects the Black community. It occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin — or cannot use it effectively — making it difficult to properly process glucose in the bloodstream.  Las Vegas’ climate is ideal for growing melons, including bitter melon, also […]

LIVING: A HOUSE IS A HOME

Let the light shine in We often draw the blinds at night for privacy and security, but welcoming the morning sun can be one of the simplest ways to brighten both your home and your well-being. There’s something special about enjoying a warm cup of tea or coffee as daylight gently fills the room — […]

PEACE: No seat taken for peace

BY KIMBERLY BAILEY-TUREAUD The wrong revolution is being televised — not one of healing, but of division. Two sides stand firm, each convinced of its own righteousness. Yet history whispers a sobering truth: when we choose separation over understanding, there are no true winners — only cycles of violence, judgment, and broken trust. The voices […]

It’s OK

BY KIMBERLY BAILEY-TUREAUD We’ve just welcomed 2026, and I couldn’t be more elated to have celebrated New Year’s Eve surrounded by my family — especially my mother, Anna Bailey, who was born in 1926. Yes, a hundred years of life, love, and resilience. As I reflect on her remarkable journey, I wonder how many times […]

PEACE: Inhale, exhale. Our spirits need a breather

Yet what we choose to focus on within those days either drains our energy or restores our balance.  Life demands much from us. Our […]

PEACE: Reconciling Self

BY KIMBERLY BAILEY-TUREAUD Our greatest journey is not across oceans or through time. It is within. The daily challenge lies in merging mind, body, spirit, and soul into one harmonious being. The concept of oneness is too often underestimated. Alignment with self is not accidental; it is a sacred practice, a devotion to balance.  The […]

PEACE: I Am

BY KIMBERLY BAILEY-TUREAUD There is a wonderful feeling that comes with having emotional peace in the midst of unsteady judgment. It is almost as if you are the only one standing still in a school of swarming fish, circling without a clear destination—led by the masses through deep, shifting currents, pulling along those who cannot […]

PEACE: Doing the Right Thing

BY KIMBERLY BAILEY-TUREAUD Options sometimes can be a horrible thing — especially if you don’t know or have a reference point from which to choose. Experience is like a compass: study those great people who have gone down a similar path which can reveal right choices in life. Even then, what you select to do […]

PEACE: Everything will be alright!

BY KIMBERLY BAILEY-TUREAUD How many of us really practice faith?  I’m talking about faith in a higher power that will assure a positive outcome.
