11 SEP 2021 · Twenty years after September 11, 2001, we remember a day that changed our nation, our world, and so many individual lives forever.In this reflective episode, I revisit my memories of the morning of 9/11 and consider what two decades have taught me about tragedy, grief, healing, faith, and the passage of time.For those who remember September 11, there was life before that day and life after it. Yet even as the years pass, the lessons of loss remain deeply relevant. Time moves forward, even when grief makes us feel as though we are standing still. While time may not erase our pain or restore what has been lost, it can soften grief and teach us how to carry it differently.This episode also explores a lesson that has become especially meaningful to me: love defies death. The physical presence of someone we love may be taken from us, but the love we shared does not simply disappear. It lives in our memories, our stories, our traditions, and in the countless ways those we have loved continue to shape our lives.As we remember the lives lost on September 11 and reflect on the many losses experienced in the years since, this episode is both a tribute and a meditation on the winding road toward wholeness.Healing does not mean forgetting.Time marches on.And love remains.
20 MAR 2021 · Sometimes the things that once held us back no longer have the same hold on us. The problem is, we may not realize it because we stopped trying a long time ago.In this reflective episode, I share the story of a stubborn tree stump that remained in my yard for years. I dug around it, struck its roots, and tried repeatedly to remove it, but nothing worked. Eventually, I accepted that it wasn't going anywhere and learned to live with it.Then one day, I struck one of those roots again.This time, it broke.Something had changed beneath the surface, even though I hadn't seen it happening. The roots that once held the stump firmly in place had been slowly deteriorating. My perception was based on an old reality.That experience made me wonder how often we do the same thing in our own lives. We may continue making room for old fears, past failures, hurt, resentment, destructive habits, or outdated beliefs about ourselves because previous attempts to overcome them were unsuccessful. But circumstances change. We change. And sometimes, what once seemed immovable has been quietly losing its grip.At the same time, not everything that appears lifeless is dead. Some things need attention. Some need healing. Some need time. Some need another season to grow. The challenge is developing the discernment to recognize the difference between something that needs nurturing and something whose season has truly ended.In this episode, I reflect on evaluating the roots, recognizing what may no longer have the power it once possessed, letting go of what no longer produces life, and making room for something new to grow.Maybe it's time to check the roots again.
