Do you really listen when someone is talking to you? Or do you try to fix or solve the problem they are having instead? Do you hear what they are saying or do you hear what you think they are going to say?
We are ALL guilty of not listening from time to time. The excuses are many, “Oh I’ve heard this before”, or “I think I can fix this for them, so why listen”, or “I’ve really got so much to do I don’t have time for this.” Any of these sound familiar?« Continue »
“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.

Thanks to our newest “teacher”, Henry, we are relearning the meaning of calm energy and how it affects our lives. We are firm believers in things come into your life for a reason and Henry has brought up some very good reasons.
