Happiness has been a journey for me. I wrote this on my post today , and boy …was I surprised what I wrote! I didn’t expect to write about the “flavor” of my happiness. I laugh inside because I didn’t expect “Happiness” to have a flavor… (haha) … But it does! Happiness has a taste […]

What is your soul, actually? I was speaking to someone the other day about how the soul engages with the spirit, and why we think we may have been given it. I believe the soul is a part of who we are because we have volition – power to make choices in life that may […]

Who Created Molds ( For Us to Fit Into)…Anyway?
Recently, I’ve been listening to an awesome podcast called “Lead Stories.” Jo and Steph, the presenters, do a great job at transforming leaders and they particularly did a good job on this podcast, inspiring me.
