“It is as noble to receive as it is to give.” ~ Gandhi When I began to understand the universe and the laws of attraction, I realized that I needed to change my perception of receiving. To manifest, one needs to receive, graciously and without remorse or apology; otherwise, the universe will pass you by, providing for someone open to accepting its bounty. Manifestation works on both physical and…

When we think we have everything figured out, the universe tests us to see if we learned the lesson. If we move through it calmly and with mindful consciousness, we can pat ourselves on the backs, tallying one more lesson understood. Yet, don’t rest on your laurels too long, the lessons never cease, and when we think one has undoubtedly passed, it may come back disguised as another. We must…

Working in advertising for more than 30 years, I have witnessed the evolution of the correct way of discussing ethnicity. Advertisers have been aware of the ethnic diversity that demographics dictate and how to utilize, without offense, the specifics needed to market products.

Societal unrest has always existed. Spoken in whispers behind closed doors, it lives in the shadows, until it reaches the boiling point, and needs to break out.
