Signature Five Questions — Unlocking Wisdom Through Every Story As someone who has a deep love for humanity and a mission to uplift the world, my days are often filled with passiondriven work, tight deadlines, and constant giving. Like many women, I have a full plate, and at times, taking care of myself can feel like it pulls me away from the very work I cherish. However, over the years, I’ve come to understand something powerful: self-care is not a distraction from your purpose — it’s what keeps you going. Even the simplest acts, such as taking time for a cup of tea, enjoying a quiet moment, or indulging in a beauty service that boosts your confidence, can reignite your spirit. These small moments of self-care Reconnect you with your…

I woke up shocked that I’d slept. Morning light sliced through the blinds, momentarily softening the chaos that had become my life. Then he entered -voice sharp, cold, blaming me for everything: the move to his dream house, the ruined couch he’d hurled to the curb, the drinking, the glass thrown in my direction… even my existence. His solution is that I should kill myself. In that instant, watching the man I’d loved dissolve into rage and whiskey, I saw something I hadn’t allowed myself to see: the life I had spent twelve years building was gone -not because love is weak, but because love starved, shamed, and unsafe will eventually die. What remained was an eerie inner emptiness… and a thin, steady thread of awareness: If love can be…

In boardrooms and classrooms, at conferences and community tables, one message continues to ring clear: diversity, equity, and inclusion are not optional. They are fundamental pillars of strong, sustainable leadership in today’s world. But creating a culture of belonging is not about checking boxes or issuing policy memos. True belonging is deeply emotional—it stems from empathy, acceptance, and a profound understanding of ourselves and others. At the center of this work lies a critical and often underestimated leadership asset: Emotional Intelligence (EI). At its core, Emotional Intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions while also being attuned to the feelings of those around us. Often labeled a "soft skill," EI is anything but soft in its impact. It fuels strategic decision-making, cultivates authentic relationships, and…

The special knack of meditation is to develop the one who pays attention, the watcher. When we practice a simple sitting meditation, we sit comfortably with our eyes closed and begin to observe the energies that move within us all the time: thoughts, sensations, and emotions. We develop the knack of simply watching these distractions go by with a feeling of friendly acceptance. How do we acquire this knack? We begin by being a witness to the mind, by becoming separate from the mind. If you watch a dog, you are clearly not the dog; if you look at a tree, you are separate from the tree. The same applies to the mind. Watching is the key. Watch the mind, without repressing, without preventing, without judging, and slowly you will…

In the rhythm of daily life, it’s easy to get swept away by responsibilities and challenges, forgetting to pause and reflect on what truly matters— the light within us. This divine spark often grows dim when we’re lost in routine, yet it never disappears. Every act of kindness, every moment of compassion, rekindles that light, reminding us of who we truly are: vessels of love, created to serve and uplift one another. Many of us already share that inner light through kindness, prayer, or simple acts of love that brighten someone’s day. Yet as life grows busier and challenges demand our attention, it’s easy to drift away from that sacred connection. We don’t mean to; it simply happens. But when we pause to rekindle it—when we let our light flow…

Life often brings challenges that can feel overwhelming. My own journey—facing breast cancer and dealing with other personal obstacles—taught me that the way we respond to life’s difficulties shapeshow our lives turn out. From these experiences, I learned lessons that guided me, which I share in my book, I Learned to Live One Day at a Time. One of the most important lessons I learned is the power of resilience—and that it starts by putting God first in everything. Life may throw obstacles our way, and it can be easy to feel defeated. “But every challenge is an opportunity to grow stronger, more compassionate, and more self-aware.” Focusing on solutions instead of setbacks and choosing to rise above fear and uncertainty builds the inner strength we need to keep moving…

In the rapidly evolving world of cybercrime, attackers continually seek ways to exploit new technology before defenses can catch up. One of the most concerning threats emerging in 2025 is Ghost Tapping—a sophisticated form of NFC (Near Field Communication) relay fraud that enables criminals to make purchases from your account without ever physically touching your card or phone. Unlike traditional credit card fraud, Ghost Tapping doesn’t require skimming devices or stolen physical cards. Instead, it exploits the convenience of tap-to-pay systems—turning your smartphone or wearable into an unwilling accomplice in the crime. What Is Ghost Tapping? Ghost Tapping, also known as Ghost Tap, is an NFC relay attack. It enables cybercriminals to remotely capture and relay payment data from a compromised device or payment card to a “mule” device that…

In a world where your patience drains faster than your phone battery, and stress is highlighted in your planner, learning how to regulate your emotions isn’t only helpful—it’s survival. We’ve all been there: overwhelmed, exhausted, trying not to cry in a grocery store parking lot. Maybe you’ve tried deep breathing, yoga, or silently screaming into your steering wheel.

Your Hands: The Original Health & Wellness App The Japanese Finger Holding Technique comes…

Have you ever felt distant from your inner peace, not because you stopped believing in something greater, but because life became too noisy, too heavy, or too fast? I’ve been there. Through the years, I’ve discovered a gentle yet powerful way to return to that sacred space: music. Music is more than sound. It softens the noise of the world, quiets the mind, and opens the heart. It becomes a bridge between where we are and where our spirit longs to be. Whether you’re listening, singing, or simply resting in silence with a soft melody, music creates a space where something greater can be felt, even when words fail. This kind of spiritual connection doesn’t require performance or perfection. It invites us to be present—to show up as we are,…
