Expression of gratitude is the ultimate balancing act in everyone’s life. We

simple thank-you creates an imbalance in the relationship and spiritual energy,
while a simple thank you restores it.

I am intrigued by the blatant as well as the subtle claims that, “my religion

Tensions among friends come and go, but around elections, it’s red alert.
This time of the year we are likely to tick off family members and friends
because we differ in our political perspectives. Sometimes we are belligerent
and push others to see our point of view as the right…

Easter is a celebration of Jesus Christ’s resurrection on the third day after
crucifixion. It is Christianity’s most important holiday. A few years ago, I was
in Jerusalem and was blessed to sit by the place where he was supposedly buried
at the Church of Holy Sepulcher.
