Being kind to your enemy is one of the most countercultural and healing choices we can make. I've come to understand that kindness does not mean approval, passivity, or self-betrayal. It means refusing to allow resentment, anger, or bitterness to take root within us. When we choose kindness, paired with healthy boundaries, we reclaim our peace and protect our emotional and physical well-being. I will share how this kind of living invites freedom, clarity, and strength, reminding us that how we respond to others ultimately shapes our own health, mindset, and capacity to live fully.

Some of the most challenging health journeys begin after patients are told their case is "too complex" or "beyond help." Claire Stagg, DDS, has devoted her work to resolving cases no one else would take by examining the mouth as a critical gateway to whole-body health. Through her integrative and biologically informed approach, she addresses hidden infections, dental materials, inflammation, and systemic stressors that are often overlooked. Dr. Stagg's work reminds us that healing requires curiosity, collaboration, and the willingness to ask deeper questions, especially when conventional answers fall short.

Finding purpose and direction is less about searching outside ourselves and more about remembering who we are and what truly matters. I've learned that purpose often reveals itself quietly through moments of curiosity, service, struggle, and reflection, rather than through grand declarations. When we slow down and create space to listen, we begin to recognize the patterns, passions, and values that guide our path forward. Living with purpose doesn't mean having every step mapped out; it means choosing alignment over confusion and intention over obligation. I will share how allowing direction to unfold with clarity, trust, and grace, will guide us to the destiny God ordained for us.
