  1. Bless Your Problems, don't curse them.

    13/12/2025

    Bless Your Problems, don't curse them.

    Bless your problems, don't curse them. Every challenge that shows up in your life is a teacher in disguise, guiding you back to presence. The NOW-IST way reminds us that problems don't exist in the present moment—they live in the mind, in the stories we tell ourselves. When you bless a problem, you take away its power and reclaim your peace. You rise above fear, frustration, and resistance, and step into the clarity of NOW. Whatever you're facing today, pause… breathe… bless it. Let it refine you, not define you. Everything changes when you choose presence.

    Shining the Light when times appear dark with Special Guest ~ Sunny Chayes

    Media Personality, Sacred Social Activist, Environmental Accountability Advocate, writer, 'sometimes' singer, funster and 'all the time' Myth Buster. Born in Chicago, and growing up in various parts of the US and South Africa, Sunny was exposed to many cultures and traditions including spending time with the Bushman "Kwe" of the Kalahari Desert.  Years later, through many life experiences and family opportunities she was exposed to, she saw the world from multifaceted perspectives. Her extended family were activists and advocates of cultural, societal and environmental change through art, literature, travel, music and politics. The family dinner table guests were often policy, entertainment and cultural shapers of the day. Chayes got her activism myth busting chops from having a "front row seat".
