I send emails all the time. And I always sign them with some form of final statement before my name. Like for more formal business emails, I will sign “Sincerely” or “Regards” or even sometimes “Yours Truly”. For most people that I know, I use a less formal “Best wishes”. And for people that I [...]

Ever had a week where your plans and your reality didn’t align very well? I have spent the past few days planning to put together my bed (after my recent move) so that I can stop sleeping on the couch. But each day, a higher priority item has moved that plan off the schedule. It [...]

I have been working on a personal challenge recently – stepping out of judgment and into discernment. When I judge, I stand apart from the situation and myself.

First, it started in Canada in the 1870s as parades demonstrating support for union activities. In 1882, a U.S. labor leader saw one of these events and [...]

I updated my food sensitivity test results recently. The laboratory I used before has changed their procedures and now only provides services to medical doctors. So I tried another provider. There were a number of “start-up” problems, but the people I worked with were definitely service-oriented! I even got a call from the President of [...]
