"There is no ‘one perfect life’ out there waiting to be lived.

Have you ever felt that you were wasting your life? No, now don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticizing the life you’re living, your job, how much or little you’ve saved, your choice of life partners, your choice in household furnishings, hobbies, or your role as a parent or parent-care provider. But admit it –... Continue Reading →
All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything. ~ Swami Vivekanada Go on, say the word out loud.

God I love a thunderstorm.

We live in a magical world. If you don’t think so, just look around you; look at the intricacies of a spider’s web (Her mother dies giving birth to her – so how does she know how to create that? Where do the designs come from?) Look at the glory of a sunrise; at the... Continue Reading →
