Me Ra Koh’s story is a powerful reminder that our “shadows” – our difficult experiences, traumas and challenges – don't need to be erased. They shape the unique story God is telling through us.

Irum Jones believes the world is rigged in your favor if you have the mental stability to believe you’ll make it. She brings hope into every room, leading with kindness, dignity, and respect.

We tend to equate love with a relationship. We cannot allow one person to validate what love looks like. God will allow love to flow from different sources and people. Be open to love.

Every situation or change brings a silver lining—it’s our responsibility to recognize and embrace “the bright side” as an opportunity for growth and positivity to see the good you bring.

The power each of us holds is immense. If we can each make someone feel better, positive, hopeful, encouraged, or inspired to move toward their goals, I believe there is more hope for humanity.

Many times, we unknowingly put ourselves in boxes when we find what we are comfortable doing. But sometimes the scariest and riskiest thing might be just what you need to do.

If you can’t find a gym buddy to help you do something, consider a long-distance friend and report to each other all the fun you’re having. Whatever can help us to get more exercise is worth a try!

We learn a lot about a person by the way they respond when we are at our worst. The way my husband responds has brought me to a deeper and more beautiful understanding of vulnerability.

My mom did not allow negative ideas into my head about not attending college. She encouraged me to take the next step in receiving an education. So, I applied, was accepted, and succeeded.

Whether your grief is your own battle with health, a significant life change for you or a loved one, or a dream that hasn’t been realized, it’s not always easy to wake up and embrace the unknown.

Reflecting on what the past 10 or 20 years of my life have been, I think about what I would tell my younger self. I would tell her that I believe her, and she is right to listen to that inner voice.
