  • Weightloss

    Namaste Apparently turning a new leaf on the calendar is the only change some of us made. I was ready for bed when the phone rang. I looked at the phone and sighed. A call came from that number at 1:05pm, 1:06pm (because I hung up within seconds of the first call, which I did…

  • Abundant Livelihood

    Namaste No one can pray for another.  I overheard that statement as I worked with my client.  A gentleman was debating prayer with two ladies.  One silently listened, the other constantly interjected.  I understood what he was saying.  Prayer is personal.  It requires your heart, lips, and voice.  It is like breathing.  No one can…
