His note was so beautiful that, with his permission, I am honored to share it with you. To me, it… Continue reading Man Does Not Live on Bread Alone

Animal Totems & Lovely Lions
While on my transformative trip to Sedona, I was told (by multiple – different – therapists) that I have a very interesting (and unique!) connection to lions.

Every Sunday I look so forward to my weekly email from Brain Pickings edited by Maria Popova. It is definitely a Silver Lining of my week.
