I have been self-employed for years. Because of that, I frequently search for more ways to expand my business — in an intelligent manner. Sometimes, those ideas are right in front of my nose, but I don’t see them. First, some back story. I was in my early 40s when my husband (or husband-to-be, as … More Right in Front of My Nose
I’ve been involved in many discussions about our purpose in life. Everyone’s purpose is different, of course, but I believe our primary purpose is caring for each other. When I think about caring for each other, this quote comes to mind: “We’re all just walking each other home.” ~ Ram Dass There are various thoughts on … More Caring For Each Other

I took the title of this week’s article from an August Science of Mind Magazine daily post: Everything is Connected by Eugene Holden, RScP. Many of the Daily Guides in the Science of Mind Magazine speak to me, but this one caught my attention on a deeper level. I often ponder connection: What does it … More Everything is Connected
