This World Poetry Day, I take a few minutes to pause and reflect. On my life’s journey and being the best me even if it is not what others expect. Living a life of service to others is most gratifying. It is the giving, not the receiving, that I find most satisfying. I spent years […]
A look back on the year 2020! And what a year it turned out to be!

Monday Morning Musings of a Healing Arts Practitioner Where do we go from here? As talk now turns to what we do next. We cannot help but ponder what is best. Ease up the restrictions too early to boost the economy? Or “grit and bear it” for the sake of humanity? Where do we go […]
At the start of 2020, we declared it to be the year of clarity. Little did we know that within a few weeks we would be in the midst of adversity.
