Living in the Gift: Awakening to Creativity and Transforming Money

I want to clarify right off that I do not mean to say anyone should or should not do what I choose to do. There is no wrong way or better way. I am not an expert at anything.Please, don’t believe what I write. It’s all just a story. Enjoy! Time as Money I like to ponder the cultural practice of attaching a numerical value to time, as a dollar amount, […]

Why I Choose To Be A Gratitarian

  In response to the many reflections that I am observing lately around diet and food choices, I thought it would be an appropriate topic to pull out of my “to write” list.
