Children will naturally shut out their parents when they are lecturing to them. A child will respond positively to [...]
In keeping with the many requests I have received to share my transformational work more broadly, I am starting a bi-mothly gathering, Happy Ours.

May this coming year be a blessed one for each and every person on this planet. May it be free of pain and suffering for every living being. May kindness, compassion and love enter each one of us and spread like wild fire in our hearts. May every person find her/his true voice and share [...]
