7-Day Smartphone Detox
I admit having a smart phone is convenient to have and to hold. It captures, receives, sends, entertains, and informs within seconds. It fits in the palm of our hands and nestles in the pockets of our clothes. But I also know how addictive it can be. I challenge us to take this 7-day smartphone detox in order to be more present to life. Overtime, our handheld gadgets will no longer grip our hearts or consume our undivided attention. May this detox help us to be present to those around us and open to the beauty that surrounds us everyday!

Happiness vs. Unhappiness
Happiness is a choice. We can’t blame a person for our unhappiness but neither can we attribute our happiness based on someone. What’s going to determine our happiness is in the choices we make in our actions, decisions, and thinking – every single day. It doesn’t come from things, people, or experiences, sure, they can enhance and enrich our lives but to think they’ll bring us true lasting happiness is a golden fleece we’ll never attain. Happiness, peace, and joy are readily available to us at any given moment because it comes from deep within us. We have the ability to be happy despite our circumstances, the people around us, and yes, even in our dead end jobs. Happiness is a choice, everyday. Happiness is an attitude, for life.

I love this piece because of the clever sentence structure and the usage of words – encompassing both pain and hope, beauty, truth, and grace.
This piece makes me look within myself to find the truths to the profound questions he asks. His choice of words are intentional and powerful.
There’s so much love, simplicity, and innocence in this one – to see and say it as it is to the one we deeply love. And perhaps, for our own need for someone to say it back to us.
May we find beauty and truth in the most unexpected places this weekend, and may it set us free.
