I’m sure you’ll agree when I say it’s not easy to let go of negative emotions like anger or sadness if you find obstacles or opposition, or when things don’t seem to go your way.

When Was the Last Time You Felt Truly Free?
By being truly free I mean being in the moment, without any concerns or worries, because nothing was more important than what you were doing, regardless of what that was.

What Are You Thankful For?
This week we celebrate Thanksgiving in the US, which is based, like many other holidays, on a distorted story. For one, the first so-called thanksgiving meal was with the Spaniards about 50 years earlier. Also, there’s nothing celebratory about the Pilgrims coming to impose a religious theocracy over the native Americans, and there’s no real information about how, or if,…
