Sailing Through a Major Crisis
A situation like the one we are living through since 2020 asks two basic questions: – What will I do to bring more joy into my life? – What will I do to bring more joy to other beings?

A Satisfying And Friendly New 2021

It’s Appreciation! The Key!
Appreciation is the innocent and “dear” aspect of love. It shows you what you truly love. And who. And here is something revealing: a person who is out to harm you or who doesn’t care whether you are well or not can not instill appreciation in you. Therefore, appreciation — more than desire, hormonal excitement,Continue reading “It’s Appreciation! The Key!”
