The app for independent voices

NO ONE can write like you do.

Don’t deprive the world of your voice just because you don’t sound like someone else.

You sound like you, and that’s your greatest asset. 💜💪✍️

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Hoy experimente llorar por sentirme muy amada, mi esposo me escribe poemas desde que nos conocimos, fue un factor importante que creó un lazo bien único entre nosotros, estoy en vísperas de mis 30 y ahora me escribió este poema como regalo, merece tener un espacio acá porque es un poeta incógnito y que honor ser fuente de inspiración.

The post is a heartfelt call to modern Christian parents, mentors, and coaches: stop trying to filter everything, build a foundation instead. With biblical truth and personal vulnerability, this reflection reminds readers that God doesn’t need perfect parents. He just asks for faithful ones. You don’t need to predict the future to raise disciples who can thrive in it.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Burnout doesn’t always mean you’re doing too much.

Sometimes it means you’re carrying things God never assigned to you.

People tend to wear exhaustion like a badge of honor but Jesus never asked us to run ourselves into the ground.

He said, “My yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

If what you’re carrying feels like it’s crushing you, it might be time to reevaluate who assigned it.

Be bored more often.

Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

We’re not raising our kids for the world we grew up in. We’re preparing them for a world of AI, algorithmic influence, and moral confusion. In this deeply personal reflection, I share five anchors of biblical truth I teach my children to help them stand firm in a world we can’t predict. Discipleship, not control, is the answer, and hope is still alive on the sidelines.

I might get slightly bashed for this one—but just my personal intake;

Can we please stop giving the “universe” credit for what GOD is doing?

It’s not the stars aligning — it’s the Savior making a way.

Doors don’t just open on their own. That’s GOD.

Let’s start calling it what it is and giving honor where it’s due.

The UPS driver always leaves packages behind the planter by my door.

Not on the doorstep where they'd be visible.

Behind the planter. Where only someone who lives here would think to look.

Yesterday I saw him arranging it just so, making sure it was completely hidden.

"Porch pirates," he explained with a shrug.

Some people are quietly taking care of everyone.

I’m so furious about this. I work part time in a nursing home as a therapist, and starting this week, we were back in masks. They say someone tested positive. I wonder who in the world is still testing for Covid?? And why?

I am looking into getting a mask exemption, though it won’t be easy. Until then, I guess I will wear it around my chin.

I'm so sorry.

With Saturn’s entry into Aries, conjunction with Neptune, and square to Jupiter looming, I thought I’d share one of my most effective tricks!

I adapted this mantra from the five Reiki principles as Saturn and Jupiter were making their conjunction back in late 2020, and have been using it ever since to help stay in alignment.
