Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve always been a sucker for a good fairy tale. Just like millions of others, I grew up knowing the stories of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and all the other super-star princesses, and I loved them all. The girl is in trouble and then, Prince Charming rides in to carry her […]
I recently listened to Steve Pavlina’s podcast entitled, “Life, the Universe, and Everything”, and it got me contemplating our soul purpose and the worthiest pursuits in life. Throughout our evolution, humans have questioned why we’re here and (as explained in the Second Insight and again in the Twelfth Insight), we’re now at a point where […]

As child, I was told that the opposite of love is hate. As a young adult exploring various religions and beliefs, I came across the theory that the opposite of love is not hate; rather, it is fear. Both seemed sound at the time. Now, however, I believe that neither is correct. If the root […]
Any change in life can be unsettling. Sometimes we think we’re heading in one direction and then, suddenly, we have to adjust to a new situation. These shifts may or may not be welcome, but uncertainty is one of the certainties we all face. The good news is that if we can fully face reality […]
As we search for a deeper understanding of our existence, trying to grasp the Big Picture of what’s really happening out there, there is a wealth of information at our fingers.
