We spend so much time and energy on work; all of us want that effort to be meaningful. Sometimes we may question whether our work is truly what we are meant to do, and our work may feel separate from our spiritual lives. The more dissatisfying we find work, the more tempting it is to […]
It was 2006, I was twenty-three years old, and one Saturday afternoon my good friend, Jess, and I ventured out in search of some fun.
