Food For Thought: The Four Agreements

Yesterday, I was faced with comments about my life from someone that I found terribly difficult to ignore. The comments were rude and hurtful and I was vulnerable and open to taking it personally.

Quote of the Day: Sam Keen

We all have our sacred places… This is one of my most sacred…

Mouth of the Parker River
