In the world of urban lingo there is something called “street smarts”— an inner knowing combined with the sharp edge of real life experience. A price can’t be put on the value of a street smart mentality, it can literally save your life. If you pivot-left instead of dropping-back right a vulnerability may be created in your personal space. Sensory awareness is the name of the game now, and through this we can decipher the coded messages traveling through the air waves.

This is a new great way to eat a salad because every bite has a crunch. It has tons of fresh veggies, avocado, beans, corn, and cheese. Crunchy and light— I think you’ll love this one!

We have a definitive change of season in our new month of August 2025, and it couldn’t come at a better time. Now we can catch our breath, and from there gain a new momentum towards shattering the shackles of a draining Mercury-retrograde. How many ghosts from the past can you release at one time? Well, you’ll have to keep count for yourself, as it is a very personal affair.
What is the essential relationship between a student, a teacher, a Guru, and God?
At its core, the relationship is what each of us believes it to be. We live according to what we truly believe is real. But then the question becomes: "Where did these beliefs come from? Who taught them to us? And, how can I get my belief system right?"
The month of July is a time to rest lightly on the water, and travel gently through this unique time and space. "Don't push things.” If you can remember these three words you will save yourself from a host of headaches.

This isn't just hope; it's a living reality, a realized prayer.
Happiness isn’t always about being giddy, or constantly smiling, or feeling good all the time. While those moments may be part of it, true happiness also embraces sorrow, grief, and empathy for the pain of others. Happiness is the ability to keep life’s events in proper perspective.

The only place inflexibility is not only welcome, but required, is in living the will of God.

They carry the virtues God requires, most notably surrender. Surrender to the Truth.
