Morning Leaders. I have observed when a man has violated or hurt someone deeply, it is often another man who is used to restore and bring healing to the injured individual. I have also observed when a woman has violated or hurt someone deeply, it is often a woman who is used for restoration and healing. Why? I have no clue. Perhaps in the restoration it renews the humanity of the violator’s gender as well as the humanity of the injured. #Observations

Morning Leaders – H.O.T.
Morning Leaders. Honesty. Openness. Transparency. I feel like I am learning these on a whole new level in my recent journeys of unHiding. I find myself living more outside the safety of the shell. #MindBeingRenewed #EmbracingDeeperVulnerability
Morning Leaders – Self-Neglect
Morning Leaders. Some of us have learned that sacrificing yourself for the sake of others is an honorable and loving thing. Then there are some of us who have learned it is okay to neglect ourselves under the guise of sacrificing for others. Why do we glorify self-neglect when it is a false narrative? #FoodForThought #KillingMyselfIsNotLove #RealSoulCare
Morning Leaders – Share Your Story
Morning Leaders. I am learning more and more how sharing my narrative is not only vital for me, but it has value and importance for others. #PayItForward #TellYourStory
Morning Leaders – Live
Morning Leaders. “It is easy to live for others, everybody does. I call on you to live for yourself.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson // #Word #Focus
Morning Leaders – Be Alive
Morning Leaders. “What you have to decide…is how you want your life to be. If your forever was ending tomorrow, would this be how you’d want to have spent it? Listen, the truth is, nothing is guaranteed. You know that more than anybody. So don’t be afraid. Be alive.” – Sarah Dessen // #KeepinIt300 #DontBeAfraidBeAlive
Morning Leaders – Life of Service
Morning Leaders. “Life is a place of service, and in that service one has to suffer a great deal that is hard to bear, but more often to experience a great deal of joy. But that joy can be real only if people look upon their lives as a service and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness.” – Count Leo Tolstoy

Morning Leaders – Too Hard
Morning Leaders. When you are an agent of change/transformation, there are forces meant to distract/stop/frustrate/detour you from your purpose. Be mindful of this reality lest you get discouraged and quit because it is “too hard”. This is your life. Your assignments are too important. That’s why you are a transformative agent. #PressThrough #PressOn #PurposedByDesign
Morning Artist – Window to Infinite
Morning Artist. “Writing was what saved me. It presented me with a window into the infinite. It allowed me to create order out of chaos.” – Dani Shapiro // #MyStory
