Having the courage to face your fear and take a soul risk
Last night, I was talking to my sister. I was feeling down, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was about. In talking to her, I realized something: I have been playing it safe. Yes, even though, as many of you know, I am writing (now editing) my second book,...
A Sacred Antidote to Anxiety
Resting in Her In meditation this evening, I laid down on the floor and I cradled my head in my hands – cupping my head ever so gently as though I were holding a newborn. Slowly, I touched the back of head, sides of my head, and forehead. The image of my mother...
Rising with Soul Fuel

A Fresh Perspective on the Pandemic
When I first heard that the coronavirus affects the lungs, I tuned in. I was concerned for my mom because she is almost 70 and she has only one lung. When she was in her early twenties, she lost her mom, her dad, and her grandma within the span of a short time. Within...
Today is a New Day
Today is a New Day Today is a new day. I begin this day with my hand on my heart – breathing in kindness, breathing out kindness. I choose to softly smile. Relaxing my shoulders, I know that God accompanies me wherever I go. I am loved – deeply, tenderly, completely....
With You
With You Maybe the Universe is asking you to trust even more deeply to surrender even more fully to not know and still take a leap into the darkness and find that not only do you have wings but a thousand angels and ancestors are with you. Lisa McCrohan, MA, LCSW-C,...
Self-Love
Self-Love Maybe you don’t have to do so much, try so hard, expend so much energy trying to keep everything together. Maybe you are carrying too much - much more than is humanly possible. Maybe it’s time to go easy on yourself - to be gentle, to soften the...
I am here with you. You are not alone.
Having the courage to pause and care communicates a message that humanity needs to hear. “I am here with you. You are not alone” can be enough to bring calm in a crisis, hope in despair, and light in the darkness.
No Longer Waiting
No Longer Waiting When you are so done with waiting for change just to happen, you finally realize that YOU are the change. Instead of waiting for anyone else to do something differently, instead of playing victim, instead of waiting to be rescued, you decide it’s so...
