From Womb to Tomb

Our journey from the womb to the tomb does not define us.  We are defined by the choices we make, in the void, between those two junctions.  Our actions, more than our words, speaks on our behalf.  Ours is the choice to make as to whether we aspire to be a saint or a villian. […]

Grief does not have to initiate sadness, it can bring our focus back to self care and doing without having expectations.  If the tears flow, let it, release, let go, know that the past is over.  Connect with the […]
