Share Ideas of Love and Watch it Grow In You
My earliest memory of “connecting” with Spiritual material was perhaps when I first read Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now. I couldn’t really explain it at the time, but his ideas spoke to something within me. The Spiritual text began to make sense on an experiential level. As I shared in his thoughts, it was as if the ideas took on a life inside. I was activated. The power of these shared ideas subsequently became the catalyst for a spiritual quest.

Early in my search I remember getting a glimpse of its promises through self-help and spiritual texts. I associated enlightenment with visions, specialness, power and bliss.

5 Spiritual Truths of Giving
Unless you’re a hermit, you’ve probably already seen signs that signify the beginning of the “gift giving” season. In fact the Friday after Thanksgiving (aka Black Friday) officially signals the start of gift shopping. We’ve come to accept this season as the “giving” time of the year. Strangely however, the deed of giving is far more than a seasonal custom. The practice goes far beyond the display of a neatly packaged and wrapped presents. In the spirit of bringing that truth alive, I’ve compiled 5 spiritual truths about giving:

Create the Perfect Day!
All of us at some point or another have been asked or we’ve asked the questio “How was your day?” Generally speaking people are well intended and ask out of their kind heartedness and concern.

How to Make the Most Out of Praying
I’ll never forget the sit, stand, kneel and pray routine I learned as a child at the St Dominic Church. Memories still fill my mind of being taught “how” to pray.
