Soulful Style: Expressing Identity

November 08, 2023

Soulful Style: Expressing Identity Self-Reflection Questions: What's your style? How do you express yourself? What makes your soul sing? How do you show up? How do you want to show up? Let's not confuse style with something else. Fashion is not style. " Miranda: You have no sense of fashion. Andy: I think that depends on… Miranda: No, no, that wasn't a question." 'The Devil Wears Prada'. - Clothing itself is not style. Garments provide a covering for our bodies, so perhaps you don’t think what you wear is important beyond comfort and protective use ( check out knight armory ). Style is the how and the why , it represents the attention and expertise behind how and why something is done, which gives it both purpose and meaning .

I told my friends it was a terrible idea until I thought of a better, albeit immoral idea. I would cheat, and bring sweets. Chocolate candies, sour candies, sweet candies, salty snacks. I had it all! I felt guilty. I felt clever. We snuck into my bag of hidden delights with the confidence of teenag...

Spooky Season won't Disappear!

September 05, 2023

Spooky Season won't Disappear! Have you noticed? I love Autumn, and Holiday fun as much as the next pumpkin-spice latte-girl . There is an eery chill in the air. Halloween is around the corner, according to vast retailers. Some darkness lovers have already decorated their houses and lawns with gruesome scenes. Horror movies have drastically increased, but is that the cause or effect of human fascination with evil ? Is it a growing lack of human empathy coupled with our need for more stimulation? There are real zombies everywhere. They are usually on their phones . We all are battling the "need" to have our phone in our hands (or another screen in front of us) and do not want to admit to ourselves the severity of our addiction . The battle for your time, health , autonomy, life, and soul is real. The good news is that you are not alone ! Will you find your own way out of the darkness? Before you assume you can ...
