Just For Today – I Will Be Kind To All Living Things
Thinking About Love I think a lot about love. I believe it is my purpose. Well, it is everyone’s purpose, isn’t it? I think about situations where I easily open my heart, other situations I struggle to open it. I think about love’s give and take. I think about how confusing love can feel when…

Love, according to Stephen Covey, is a verb – an action word with the resulting emotion, feeling of love that blossoms from…
The Beach and First Glimpse of a Few of the Many Streets – Karon Beach, Phuket, Thailand
The rain stopped after a few hours, so early afternoon we went down to the pool, chilled, then went for a walk along Karon Beach. Karon Beach is the third longest beach on Phuket Island, so we rock-paper-scissored to decide to walk the left half or walk the right half. We walked right. There is a…
