Be the peace you seek
Be the peace you want to see in the world. There is so much news, so many opinions, so much suffering, so much anger, so much DIVISION. I find myself wondering if the underlying disease here, is how divided we are. Everywhere I turn there is a new compelling story about which side I should […]

Lessons learned in quarantine. Laughter really is good medicine.
