I don't know about you but I constantly have the Cardi B & Chance the Rapper song "Living My Best Life" on ALL my playlists! It made me think of one of the best things I've ever learned -- that no matter what is happening it's always happening FOR US, not TO US and it's all in our choice to turn it into LESSONS. No matter what it is -- good or bad -- it's all a lesson meant to help us grow!  Let's chat about it!

Sometimes there's so much turmoil and hate going on, it can make us feel separate from each other. It causes us to look at our differences instead of embracing our diversity. In this episode, we'll talk about the importance of understanding the connection we all share to each other and the importance of embracing oneness in our lives each day.  If we're not separate from God, that means there's no way we can be separate from others. When we embrace the idea of ONENESS in our everyday lives and acknowlege our collective human experience, we begin to look at others differently, treat others differently and in turn, we treat and honor ourselves in a different way.  Join us as we talk about this idea of connection and what it means for us spiritually!
