For most of us, the time comes when we desire to find that special someone to share our lives. I have always believed that we are more able to draw our soulmates into our lives when we recognize that we cannot accomplish all of our spiritual work alone. When humility is cultivated, a desire for...
When the majestic bald eagle takes flight from its mountain perch, its speed and focus seem to be something from another world. The eagle’s grace and beauty are only matched by its precision and power. Having eyes about six times more accurate than a human, they are able to dive to their target reaching speeds...
Many of us may remember from our childhoods the first time we picked up a stone, and tossed it into a lake. We may recall with our mind’s eye the ripples that formed in the water. Once pristine, the image in the lake wavered and broke. We might have learned then, the power we have...
