In the spirit of the season, this is my holiday gift to my loyal and loving fans. I hope you enjoy it! I've studied many different spiritual traditions over the years. The more I learn, the more I realize how much they have in common. I think the lack of peace in the world comes from an "us and them" mentality. We are all seeking the same wisdom from the same loving Source. As we find the common ground that connects us all, we create a world of peace."
