*Reposting with the hope that we will yearn for and desire a renewed connection with community now that life is returning to normal* I was walking out of a supermarket when a homeless man pushing a shopping cart caught my attention in the far corner of my eye. He was hard to ignore, talking – […]

Your entire life consists of sensory perceptions, thoughts and emotions. That’s it, that’s your life! This is how you experience life and it essentially makes up your “world”. It becomes you, your identity, and how you view the world and navigate through daily life with all its ups and downs (actually, there is another – and […]

The overarching theme of my humble website here is to explore the connection between Mind, Body and Soul.
