Grief is not a purely negative emotion. Over time, sadness is joined by love and gratitude.

The purpose of grief is not to cause pain. It's to keep memories of loved ones alive and remind us to make the most of our time.

Moving forward is not about erasing sorrow. It's about gaining perspective.

On major life decisions, the purpose of seeking advice is not to get answers. It’s to gain perspective.

No one knows what's best for you. They can only share what makes sense to them.

The most important question to ask is not what you should do. It's what you might be missing.

Whether it's volunteering at a local school or taking soup to a sick neighbor, improving the welfare of others can also improve our own physical and mental health, a sizable body of research shows.

Your worth is not defined by what you achieve or acquire. It’s a question of who you become and how you contribute to others.

Self-esteem should come from character, not success or status. The highest accomplishment is to be a person of generosity, integrity, curiosity, humility, and wisdom.

My new favorite word: sonder.

It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know.

Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.

Happy National Colours Day Barbados! 🇧🇧

Traditionally held on the Friday before Independence, today celebrates the meaning behind the flag.

Ultramarine represents ocean/sky
Gold represents the island’s beaches
Broken Trident represents its independence from the UK
