One of the greatest perks of being a lifelong learner? Cultivating resilience to change. 🧠Indulge me from a neuroscientific perspective for a moment: Our brains are creatures of habit. They love predictable patterns and build deep, comfortable neural pathways around repeated behaviors. (Translation: trying to drag ourselves out of a well-worn path of thinking…

XM or Experience Management has been my official area of employment for the last 3.5 years. But really all activity is somewhere in these layers of experience. Quick example: I am a prospective college applicant on a school’s website (interface) and interact with the tools there to fulfill my application. These tools are designed by…

Nearly 7 days ago I had a 2nd pituitary surgery, which only had an outcome of getting 70% of the remaining tumor BUT GOD! The whole tumor was removed and there have been no unexpected surgical complications. I’m still in recovery and there are ways to go before I’m medically cured BUT GLORY!! Typing this…

There is wisdom in working the process. If you were free from all your struggles, all your adversity, all the blockages to your Promised Land all at once, you won’t have the strength to maintain it all. It would be overwhelming! Wisdom works the process and takes ground little by little. Points to Ponder: How…

Such a loaded title. What a hefty set of words: Calling, Purpose, Identity. The very essence of meaning in our lives can be summed up with these three words. And yet can be the source of so much aghast, confusion, and searching. We could spend a lifetime trying to find ourselves and still be no…

Being able to do, achieve, excel or thrive in any aspect of my life is wholly do the Christ working in and through me. For some of you reading this, that may sound like an extreme statement.
