From childhood, my mother poured into me the power of storytelling—the importance of hearing, telling, and passing down our stories.

"In the midst of it all, I reflected on the lessons we can learn from the fire—especially how we can show up and be present for those still recovering from their own fires, whether physical, spiritual, or emotional."

Rev Sheila P Spencer

Each day is its own journey ….

“ … may we, too, speak affirmations that align us with our purpose and ignite the fire within us to make meaningful contributions to the world.”

My relationship with hope is still in tact. Despite the occasional “it’s complicated,” we remain connected. It’s the audacity of hope that keeps us going.
