  Open your suitcase or unzip your backpack – what do you see? What’s in your baggage that you truly need and want and what is excess? Do you see lack of forgiveness? Even toward yourself? What about unthinking ‘disorganization’? Is there yesterday’s pain? Maybe you have un-success (which is different from ‘failure’)? What are those […]

  Everyone knows that when you toss a pebble into a pond of water that there are ripples that emanate outward from the spot the pebble entered the water. Regardless of the size of the pebble or the pond, there is always a ripple caused by the action. To expect the ripples to not occur
