What, exactly, is forgiveness, and is honest forgiveness even possible?

What we feel and what we think are two different things. How do we find it in ourselves to let God have the last word? I wasn't aware that I struggled with forgiving because it was never named. It was always expected in my Christian community. But now that I'm in the community of the world... I'm learning that I have to find out how to mean the words I choose to pray. In every language.

Women lie. And so does the beauty industry.

This has become increasingly clearer the older I’ve gotten. Because I find myself doing it too.

Beauty enhancement tools that society thinks we need are not solutions, they're beauty bandaids.

No matter how much sleep you get, supplements you take and meditation you do, if your heart isn’t in the right place, you aren’t going to feel vibrant and alive.

I felt curious to discover what was behind this tug inside me to want to look poreless with bright, awake eyes like the beauty billboards.

Why did I want to look rested?

Why didn’t I want to be rested?
