This past week was hard overall. Too much upheaval in my life that left me feeling frustrated and at the end of my wits. Someone I was working with for over a year suddenly turned hostile and decided not to work with me. I had to scramble to find someone else to take over the … Continue reading Love is All Around
Those who are devoted to Bhagavan have personally experienced some miracle or the other in their lives. I have had my fair share of miracles too. Finding Bhagavan in itself was a miracle. I had never heard of him and no one in my family knew him either. I was doing my Masters in Journalism … Continue reading Swimming in an Ocean of Grace

Even in the midst of all the chaos and insanity that's unfolding in the world and maybe in our personal lives, we can find the blessings if we really look. Day 1 My heart is so full today.

If you have ever lived in North Carolina, you know how unpredictable the weather can be. You can experience spring, summer, and winter, all on the same day. But the past week leading up to Christmas and New Year was anything but normal, weather-wise. We experienced record high temperatures that haven't occurred in a 100 … Continue reading The Power of Believing
