Reconnecting to a spiritual realm and having a spiritual practice was one of the most important steps in pulling myself out of disconnect and into happiness. My spiritual beliefs now guide my every-day behaviors. When I allowed myself to believe in something more, something bigger than my physical existence, I opened my eyes to a world of providence and meaning instead of chance and coincidence.

A spiritual lifestyle is characterized by recognition of meaning in the everyday mundane.

My favorite spiritual practice is forgiveness. Forgiving myself, forgiving my my family, forgiving the people around me. When I’m in a practice of forgiveness, my ability to be in acceptance of myself and others skyrockets.
