What Would You Do?

The Plight of The Great Pumpkin

The Dalai Lama said, “The western woman will save the world.” No, what he actually said was, “Western women can come to the rescue of the world.” He’s right. WHY shouldn’t we? Our first world problems often pale in comparison to women around the world, and yet we get stuck! Don’t get me…

Is it Act or Art?

Oh yes and the day came – and it went… many times! Life is perpetual motion which is incomplete in itself, but combined with coordinated actions it produces and creates an outcome of collective experiences and moments to which we rise and fall. This is our journey in life; it’s how we…
