This morning, again, I find myself deeply touched by the creative adventure that life is… from the cradle to the grave. Each day, as I make my pilgrimage to be baptized in the sea, I am privileged to be present for the testimony of another personal story to the beauty of being alive. This morning, there are two.
walk softly and feel the connection
Seven years ago, I participated in my first Sweat Lodge on a secluded piece of fertile land in Provence.
