Joyful Life: Writing and Helping Full-time

Summer is fully here. And with it arrives a dream. A year ago, I started the first draft of my book, The Secret Art of Happiness, and since then, I have been working on it whenever I could. Now I am lucky to be able to devote my focus and energy this summer on the revisions and [...]

Finding harmony: Snuggling up to the reverb

There is a sound  the Universe makes. It is a deep hum. Listen now. Listen until you hear the listening. Only then will you hear it. When you hear it, it is unmistakable. It's voice vibrates your atoms. It blurs the edges of the concept of 'you'. Me. I. In the stillness, allow the waves [...]

Just like riding a bike: Trading in perfectionism for joyfulness

I love my bike. Um... Bicycle for you motorcycle enthusiasts... I love my bicycle. I love the simple process of spinning the cranks and the glide of the tires.
