today we're celebrating


Almost 3 summers ago when I started this blog, I knew exactly what I wanted it to be— a place where I could share my truth and hopefully inspire others. "When Life Gives You Lemons" was the first title of this blog. The intent was to focus on making the most out of whatever life throws your way, the good and bad.

As time moved on, I decided that I wanted to dig deeper in my own life by asking myself the hard questions and paying close attention to the answers that often come when we're silent enough to hear them. Spiritual Anthropology became the new name and here we are— 5,000 page views later from people all over the world.

Here's a list of the top 10 countries where people are reading.

1) United States
2) Russia
3) Germany
4) France
5) United Kingdom
6) Thailand
7) Brazil
8) India
9) Mexico
10) Norway

I want to take this time to give my sincerest thanks and gratitude for each of you. This blog has become the ways and means by which I strive to add meaning to the world. This platform has meant so much to me and I'm moved each time I hear from you. So please, let's have deeper conversations in the comment sections and feel free to email us at spiritualanthropology@gmail.com.

i am grateful for LOVE: part deux 11.12.13

yesterday, i posted this status on facebook: "i love my single life and i am grateful to have peace in abundance. our relationship status does not define who we are. my worth is not measured by external conditions, terms or symbols. i am the i am of myself. i alone am enough." and oh, how was i surprised by the likes and responses. and then it dawned on me---- maybe, just maybe there are more single people who are content with being single than i realize. i believe this resonated with people because they too have found some kind of solace in being single. now by nature, i love solitude. nothing moves me more than being alone, except maybe jazz or a beautiful arrangement of white hydrangas or dinner at my favorite local restaurant, The Parlor Market. my creativity flourishes when i can have that. however, i also love people. i'm interested in them and their experiences because i realize that we all can be teachers for one another.  so i wanted to delve fu...

your life is sacred: honoring every moment

on this day, exactly eleven years ago today, my mother entered the Baptist for her second mastectomy. the cancer was vicious, relentless, and evidently insatiably hungry for the life of my mother. She had already had the other breast removed and she went into this surgery confident that it would be best.  i remember her strength and her faith most vividly during this week. i also remember her strongly rejecting my request for funds to purchase a new shirt for the pastor's appreciation that was coming up that Friday. i'm not sure if my mother knew this was her last week on earth. there were no "final conversations" or any discussion of what was next for our lives without her.  she would leave behind her four children, her dreams, and ultimately, a life well-lived that same night of the pastor's appreciation, which also happened to be All Saints Day. my mother's life, her struggle with breast cancer, and her early demise at thirty-three helps def...

i am grateful for OPRAH

Yesterday, my "Angel Mother" as i like to call her, Ms. Oprah G. Winfrey received the highest honor in the land-- The Presidential Medal of Freedom. President Obama applauded her for... "reaching the pinnacle of the entertainment universe." For twenty-five years, The Oprah Winfrey Show helped to extend the conversation about topics that were taboo; from sexual abuse to cellulite, she made it okay to tell the truth. She created a safe space for people to come and leave their shame and the secrets that blocked their light. Because of this, millions of others were liberated by the knowledge that they were not alone in their suffering. I started watching the Oprah show when I was around eight or nine years old. Her voice was soothing. Her insights were as wise and profound as those of my own mother. I saw the same light in her eyes that I saw in my mother's eyes. I believe it was because of this that she would go on to mean even more to me after my mother lost ...
