The Happiness Trap: How the Pursuit of Joy Can Leave You Empty
Introduction: The Paradox of Pursuing Happiness In a culture that glorifies positivity, happiness has become a modern obsession. Scroll through social media and you’ll see endless smiling faces, inspirational quotes, and promises that bliss is just a mindset—or a product—away.

I’m the One Who Never Falls Apart—Until I Did
By Nadeem Shah I’ve always been “the strong one.” You know the type—the person who listens at 2 a.m. when someone needs to vent, who holds space for tears that aren’t their own, who never seems to crack no matter how heavy the storm gets. That was me.

Reiki Training
Two hours are not enough time to teach three levels of Reiki. An overview? Yes. We had 17 participants. I attuned 10 participants for level one and 7 for level two. One Reiki Master had co-workers attending the class, and she gave 7 level one attunements, and was going to give most of them level two and three attunements on the job.

The Soul Doesn’t Need a Map.
“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” - Jimmy Dean Good Morning! A pretty cold and grey one at that. As I half-expected, I lay awake at 4am this morning, contemplating life… my life, and all the little bits in between. Though there are many days when those early morning hours catch up with me later, I actually really enjoy that time. It feels a bit like a weekend, because I get to stay in bed completely guilt-free (I mean, who gets up at that hour? Oh wait… ME! Yesterday, lol). But no, seriously… that’s what it feels like.

The Silence Between Us
By Nadeem Shah It had been 472 days since we last spoke. Not that I was counting—at least, not anymore. In the beginning, I counted everything. The days since the argument. The hours since I thought about calling. The number of messages I typed and never sent. The seconds I stood outside your door that one night… and turned away.

Forgiveness in the Counseling Profession
Forgiveness is the process of, first, acknowledging that you were wronged by someone, whether it was a small, or a more grievous offense, secondly, surrendering the wrong that was committed by the offender, and then thirdly, working toward processing any residual triggers caused from the offense. Depending on the individual and situation, sometimes forgiveness can occur instantaneously or sometimes it can be a lifelong process. Jesus emulates forgiveness perfectly for humanity based on people’s need for forgiveness from their sin committed against a perfect and holy Creator. Forgiveness leads to holistic freedom: spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and also, physically, regardless of a person’s level of proclivity toward Christianity or not.

Ask Why. Show How. Tell Do.
It started with a single conversation—one that left me both humbled and inspired. I was giving instructions to a junior colleague at work, explaining how to handle a client presentation. I spoke quickly, gave her a checklist, and moved on. Hours later, she approached me with a hesitant look and said:
