“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” - Jimmy Dean Good Morning! A pretty cold and grey one at that. As I half-expected, I lay awake at 4am this morning, contemplating life… my life, and all the little bits in between. Though there are many days when those early morning hours catch up with me later, I actually really enjoy that time. It feels a bit like a weekend, because I get to stay in bed completely guilt-free (I mean, who gets up at that hour? Oh wait… ME! Yesterday, lol). But no, seriously… that’s what it feels like.

The Silence Between Us
By Nadeem Shah It had been 472 days since we last spoke. Not that I was counting—at least, not anymore. In the beginning, I counted everything. The days since the argument. The hours since I thought about calling. The number of messages I typed and never sent. The seconds I stood outside your door that one night… and turned away.

Forgiveness in the Counseling Profession
Forgiveness is the process of, first, acknowledging that you were wronged by someone, whether it was a small, or a more grievous offense, secondly, surrendering the wrong that was committed by the offender, and then thirdly, working toward processing any residual triggers caused from the offense. Depending on the individual and situation, sometimes forgiveness can occur instantaneously or sometimes it can be a lifelong process. Jesus emulates forgiveness perfectly for humanity based on people’s need for forgiveness from their sin committed against a perfect and holy Creator. Forgiveness leads to holistic freedom: spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and also, physically, regardless of a person’s level of proclivity toward Christianity or not.

Ask Why. Show How. Tell Do.
It started with a single conversation—one that left me both humbled and inspired. I was giving instructions to a junior colleague at work, explaining how to handle a client presentation. I spoke quickly, gave her a checklist, and moved on. Hours later, she approached me with a hesitant look and said:

Once A Child . Content Warning.
From the moment we open our eyes—crying in a cold, sterile hospital— the conditions of love begin to blossom. Living and growing in our mother’s bellies only holds a safe place for nearly a year before we were quite literally ejected into chaos we didn’t ask for. From that point on there are conditions to the amount of love and respect we receive. From birth when we are “good babies” in the nursery, the nurses praise us for our cooperation, whereas fussy babies, while still looked at as precious cute creations, are deemed more difficult. Though this example is rather vague and lacks depth into the true meaning of conditional love, it is a pivotal reminder of how we enter and leave this world. Alone.

A secret beyond the ego
They said the mind could heal in silence but Cathy didn’t believe it—until she came back to the farm. Her father’s death had pulled her out of the city, out of her sterile office and failed career in psychology. She called it a break. The truth was, she was broken, tired of talking people out of pain she hadn’t resolved in herself.
