Illuminating Relationships: Dancing in the Light
Within our individual spiritual development, a feeling of comfort exists within us as our place in the universe and a connection to something larger than us unfolds. We are happier, more peaceful, and realize full spiritual wellness. Once we know who we are today and where we are going, we can connect better to those around us.

Keeping Life's Ledger in the Black
We alone need gratitude for our own sakes and our own personal growth potential. We need to feel grateful and appreciate life so that we can benefit, and progress emotionally.

Through the Looking Glass We See Ourselves
Greetings become a mantra of mindfulness meditation. The more emotion behind the recognition, the more we know that this person truly reflects who we are, at least who we were at one time. The more positive the emotions, the more we like or love this person. The more negative the emotions, the more we reject the person in the mirror, this manifestation of ourselves. Read

The Cost of a Fear-less World
Could it be that our negative world view set the stage for a negative interpretation? We will gradually ascend to see our world differently, which will make our world different. What you send out, you get back. This is the law of attraction, and the law of the Universe. There can be no other. Read

Did you Dread Valentines Day?
Admitting that you hate Valentine’s Day is like saying you hate puppies and warm fuzzy kittens. Valentines Day traditions mechanically add stress, guilt and depression to relationships trying to find balance.

We can practically see the stars light up as we become the focus and center of the earth, of our Universe. Read
