The world feels fractured,
Our sweet voices have turned to daggers,
lines drawn deeper than rivers,
walls rising where bridges once stood.

It is easy to believe the dark has won,

Even in the rubble, seeds take root.
Even in silence, a heartbeat insists on being heard.

It is the lamp we place within them,
the stubborn flame that flickers
not because th…

"Balance is not something you find; it is something you create." – Jana Kingsford

We live in a time when “work/life balance” has become a tired cliché, a phrase so overused it almost mocks us in a world where the lines between work and life have dissolved. Leaders are left asking: Is balance even possible anymore? Perhaps the problem isn’t that balance is out of reach, but that we’ve been searching for the wrong kind of balance. What if the key isn’t work/life balance at all, but something I call…
