The dictionary defines self awareness in philosophy of self, as being the experience of one's own personality or individuality. While consciousness is being aware of one's environment, body, and lifestyle, self-awareness is the recognition of that awareness.” Understanding self awareness, how it helps us and how to increase it are very valuable lessons that we can never cease to benefit from!

It is that perfectly created, and curated image that we so willing display to the masses-IF it “looks good.” if we are honest, those who have been subject or participated in this pop culture phenomenon have had several takes to get that picture perfect shot, before it is stamped for approval and posted....

It is when an individual can bring their authentic self to every experience they are a part of. This episode is a reminder to focus MORE on the things that make us alike, rather than highlighting the...

As we continue to grow, we must be conscious of the difference between being nice and being kind. A compassionate and forgiving heart is kind, and cautious and calculating heart is nice.

The weekend came and flooded me with emotion: those feelings I enjoyed and some that I wish I never had to feel! The Tuck In At 10 found me asleep, resting my weary soul. But I’m here this morning with our message for the week. “Make it Meaningful”
