Have you ever read a book and thought, that author and I just get one another; if only we could meet in real life, we'd be besties. Yet, the people who act on such a thought are usually considered stalkers, so you just keep this thought in a special part of your brain that doesn't … Continue reading Book Review: Waking up the Karma Fairy: Life Lessons and Holy Adventures
Until relatively recently, I had no idea what a podcast was. Literally. When people talked about hosting or speaking on a podcast, I probably had quite the quizzical look on my fact.

Watching, reading, keeping up on goings on, etc. I think a lot of us have been doing this since there is so much going on in the world that affects each of us personally. I've been … Continue reading I’m Expendable?

George Floyd was murdered on May 25, 2020 and the world hasn't been the same since. The outpouring of support from the entire world and the widespread acknowledgments, albeit somewhat late, of the ongoing systemic racism affecting the black community in the United States, has been heartening to see. The number of policy changes that … Continue reading Just Mercy
