US Shoppers Hit Pause: Retail Spending Dropped in July and Confidence Is Fading

How Billionaires Think About Money
How Billionaires Think Differently About Money Wealth at the highest level tends to shift that perspective entirely. What counts isn’t just spending or saving - it’s how wealth changes choices. A billionaire might treat money less like currency, more like fuel. Not everyone arrives at that mindset through income alone.

When Comparing Home Loans Becomes a Journey, Not a Choice
The first time Emma searched for a home loan, she thought it would be simple. Numbers, after all, were supposed to be objective. Rates would line up neatly, the lowest one would stand out, and the decision would make itself.

How to Stay Spiritually Consistent in a Busy Digital World During Ramadan 2026 In 2026, Ramadan arrives in a world more connected—and more distracted—than ever before. Before dawn, notifications appear on our screens. After iftar, social media feeds scroll indefinitely. Prayer is not paused in work emails. Spiritual consistency necessitates deliberate effort in a time when attention is constantly divided.

The One Blue-specked Dot on a White Butterfly
Just yesterday I offered the workshop Wild Words Whisper: A Whimsical Garden Writing Ritual. In the moments after torrential thunderstorms and rain had passed, a small group of participants huddled around the Peace Garden’s firepit with journals in hand and wonder in heart. The sun emerged and sprinkled through the canopy of the garden’s botany of delights, illuminating the drips and drops of rain’s tenderness on leaves, flowers, stones, ourselves, and Oneness. Our group connected from our first inhales and exhales as we nestled into the coziness of conversation, ceremony, intuitive writing, wondering, wandering, and the spirit of each other and the Peace Garden.

A Fasting Cry To God
Fasting Cry to God Our marriage had never been ideal. We married out of respect for our faith six years prior. In that time we had nothing but struggles and incompatibility. I was educated and married to a man with a seventh grade education. Our mentality was very different and so was our character.

Living the Truth Others Refuse to See
Coercive control thrives in silence. It thrives in secrets. In the hidden corners where abuse is whispered about but never named, where fear keeps the truth locked inside. I write to shatter that silence. To strip abusers of the false power they cling to — not with vengeance, but with sacred testimony: a voice aligned with justice, truth, and the God who witnesses all. Speaking the truth of what happened is not a crime, not a grievance, not gossip. It is an act of courage, a declaration that fear and manipulation will no longer dictate reality.

The Descent and the Covenant
I was born into shadow, in the house of narcissism and alcohol. The air itself was thick with distortion — love twisted into control, tenderness fused with terror. My map was shattered before I could walk, and so I wandered blind into the red glow of the streets. I mistook danger for destiny. I called hunger devotion. I called harm love.
