Lifestyle: Spirituality
 
Belief, faith, hope, conscience, ethical and moral values are areas that need our attention; wisdom comes with time, experience and work. Here is an anonymous contribution that seems never truer than in today’s world. “Wisdom of Living : Watch your thoughts they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”While the Sacred Feminine means different

 Study shows less decline in Religious Faith by College Attendees

They say that the birth of a first child is also the birth of a mother. And so Myles and I share this birth date and the indescribable experience of one being becoming disentangled from another…the birth of a child and the birth of a mother. more...

For a decade now I have owned a CD collection of some of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speeches and sermons. I listen to it on long road trips, around Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and any time I’m in need of some spirited inspiration.

My email inbox has recently congealed with a slew of invitations to march on Washington on January 27th.
