Learn how creativity can breathe life into your soul!
"Life is like a series of awakenings from birth until death."          Contemplation is essential for the human soul and yet modern living does not easily lend to this practice.

"If we step out into the light with all of our insecurities still hidden… who can penetrate such darkness?"      These words floated through my mind as I drifted off to sleep.

He whispers through dreams filling mind with lofty thoughts of longings coming true. Awakening to write them down is also His …
 I awoke early this morning and could not go back to sleep due to worry over my daughter Elya. She flew from Seoul, Korea to Hong Kong in order to celebrate the New Year with friends—all teaching English overseas in different countries. The last contact was a Christmas Eve video Skype, which was eight …
