That's what my friend Cheree Hill shared during our FB Live a while ago. You can listen to a short clip of our talk here. She's on a life-long journey of healing. Cheree is...
No Storm Lasts Forever
I recently found an old photograph I had completely forgotten about. It was taken during my first trip to Nigeria in 2003. It's a photo of my son, Malcolm, standing next to a healer. This photo brings back memories of a chaotic time of my life when Malcolm was involved with gangs in Oakland, California. I took Malcolm with me to Nigeria get...
Embrace Your Spiritual Gifts
My friend, Simone, had to hit rock bottom before she fully embraced her spiritual gifts. "I was scared, and fear took over," she told me during a FB talk last year. "I was focused on what other people would think." Simone is a spiritual medium; she connects with ancestors to help guide people through life. But coming from a middle-class,...

Trusting The Signs Around You
I had a great conversation with my friend, Maya recently. About two years ago, she trusted signs she had been receiving and moved to Ghana. It wasn't an easy decision or journey, but so far it has been working out. She now has a thriving business in real estate in Ghana. Maya first visit to Ghana happened during a challenging time in her life. "I...

Do You Know Your Purpose?
I did a recent FB live talk about following your life's purpose. Here's the replay if you missed it: Purpose Driven Conversation. Purpose is important because without clarity about your purpose, you will drift forever. Or you might not dare to be all you can be. Too many of us end up settling for so little in life. It doesn't have to be that way....
