Basic to personal and spiritual growth is feeling confident, and thus knowing what to say and when to act, as we pursue our lives. The key to building such confidence, in my opinion, lies in pursuing spirituality until we connect with the Divine Intelligence that lives within us. This feels like a “download of our […]
I’m sitting here waiting for freezing rain to bring a sheet of ice into our area. Last I heard, 40 million people in the US are going to get covered by this massive snow and ice. The good news? It may be one of the last storms of the winter. Spring will be next. In […]
