Innovative Self- Care Practices: Do Adventure

Yesterday, I decided to get in my VW bug and take a mini adventure. I drove to Sedona, Arizona and hiked Cathedral Rock. Cathedral Rock is considered one of Sedona’s spiritual vortexes. Spiritual vortexes are powerful and transformational energy centers. Sedona is known for them. The land surrounding the vortexes are often very beautiful and inspirational. Trees and rocks take different formations. The scenery is absolutely amazing. I felt so drawn to this hike for a long time. I just believe in my journey of self discovery, this was the perfect time to do it; despite the gross heat. Part of engaging in self-care during healing is to honor your needs. My inner self has been begging me to get out and do this and I would always talk myself out of it. It’s too hot, crowded, blah blah blah. In fact, all my excuses had no relevance because the trail was not crowded and the breeze kept me cool. If you feel adventure or the desire to do something, do it! Practicing self-care means honoring your heart’s desire. Also, if hiking or outdoor activities inspire you, engage because being in nature keeps you grounded and connected to the present moment. If you ever get an opportunity to hike Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Arizona, I highly recommend it. It is listed as a moderate hike but I felt the higher levels of climbing were challenging. So be aware. I met two lovely couples hiking and a really nice guy who helped me get back on trail; I got lost coming back. Oops. Mini adventures are the best self-care because they are short, don’t require a lot of planning, and have big rewards if you follow through and stop with the excuses. Go visit somewhere near you. Do Adventure!

The fall of the Deepfakes (people not AI)

Here we are in a time of humanity where EVERYONE, place and thing is being questioned. The term deepfake generally refers to false images, videos, or audio that have been manipulated by AI; however, for the purpose of this post, I am using the term to refer to "fake people." If you built an empire on false foundations, wear a seedy social mask to work, hide the truth behind a false visade, then you are a deep fake. Your "fakeness" has been your armor and defense in a world that allowed you to exist because at least, in America, synthetic is accepted. Since the Me Too movement surfaced in 2006, we began to see transparency in American culture particularly in celebrity and political culture around sexual harassment. Movements expose truths and raise awareness of deepfakes. Jumping to the present time, the Epstein files exposed the worst criminal enterprise involving elites, political figures, and celebrities. The fall of deepfakes is likely going to continue to happe...

How to build your self-confidence in 2026

Happy New Year! While we move into the new year, how are we feeling about ourselves and what do do we want to accomplish in 2026? If you sets goals to make improvements to your life this year, increasing self-confidence can help with that. According to Oxford dictionary, self-confidence is a feeling of trust in one's abilities, qualities and judgement. More importantly, self-confidence is acceptance of self. I pride myself on highlighting the importance of self-love in your life and there is a direct correlation between the two: self-love involves knowing and appreciating your worth which is the foundation for confidence to grow. There is a science behind uncovering ways to enhance self-confidence. There are the most conventional ways which include improving your habits, environment, and enhancing your positive self-talk. However, there are also more innovative (beyond the box) ways to boost your self-confidence this year. Note, that in order to grow, you must...

George Zimmerman is dangerous! New Domestic Violence charge.

George Zimmerman back in a Florida court today for felony Agg Assault and two other misdemeanors involving an incident where he allegedly pointed a gun at his girlfriend and strangled her ( NOT choked her like the lawyer said in court). The judge gave him a $9000.00 bond which he posted and was released on typical release conditions for a Domestic Violence offense.....no firearms, cannot return to home, no contact....blah blah blah. Again no accountability, why on earth would a judge grant so little bail for such serious charges especially when he has a history of Domestic Violence? I hope he doesn't hurt himself or others before the next court date! You know because of Florida's crazy laws, he got away with murder! Maybe Mr. Zimmerman needs to move to Arizona where it has been made socially acceptable to racially profile someone and you can walk around with your firearm...I just hope my nephews aren't in your neighborhood. This judge didn't consider the severity of th...
