The Beauty of Living in the Present Moment

Most of us live either fretting about the past or worrying about the future. We continually rehash in our mind the event that occurred, especially those events that had a negative impact on us. Or worse yet we talk about it with every person we speak to. Reliving every moment as though it just happened. For many of us it has become such a habit that we don’t even notice that we are doing it and worse yet we miss things that are happening all around us in the moment. The habit of looking at the past is ingrained into …CONTINUE READING HERE: The Beauty of Living in the Present Moment

Are You Willing to Follow Your Inner Guidance?

When we listen to our inner guidance sometimes we are guided to do things that we think would be crazy to do. Why would we want to give up what feels secure? Well, having followed my inner guidance down many paths that most would feel were “Stupid” to do, I’ve ended up being blessed immensely.

Described by readers as compelling, inspirational and a testament to the human spirit, this true story is a must read, especially in these times of global turmoil and violence. The book, “The Long Journey to Cleveland”, begins in 1938 in Europe as two vastly different families, separated by a huge religious and cultural chasm await their fates, one with renewed hope, the other with apprehension as World War II and the Holocaust loom ahead.

Making a Difference

Is it really possible for us to make a difference in the world? I am frequently challenged by people who believe that their small act won’t make a difference in the world. What they fail to see is that big differences happen, not because one person made a big difference, but instead because one person took action and then another and then another. It’s the little things that make a big difference. Although some things seem small, imagine this for a moment… Did you know that more than 60 Million plastic bottles are thrown away into landfills every day? That …CONTINUE READING HERE: Making a Difference

As, I heard this news, I immediately began …CONTINUE READING HERE: Journey to Inner Peace – Part 1
