Love, Devotion and Purpose
Devotion is not some high-minded, grand, abstract thing. It is often found in an ordinary moment, in an ordinary day; it’s an injured animal on the side of the road, that we take home to care for it. When devotion finds us, it is an absolute, non-negotiable extend of hands, asking us to love wholeheartedly…
What True Love Really Is
A love that pays attention is a love that is alive. Volo ut sis. I will that you are. I want you to be. I want every day for you. I want every moment for you. I love your mere existence in my world, in my life, as you are, as it be…
On The Importance of Delayed Gratification
Pleasure is central to our survival, but as we mature, we need to learn to tolerate the discomfort of delayed gratification, especially if we have a higher purpose or vision; or desire to build a long-lasting relationship based on true intimacy and loyalty…

The Cultural Evolution of Fairytales: Their Importance for Social Issues, Wellbeing and Preserving Generations

Things long unknowingly known have suddenly been remembered…

Weaving Life: Spindle, Shuttle and Needle
There is abundance of tales, lore and myth across many cultures, connecting spinning and weaving to the divine and to the threads of fate that lead us toward various destinations, and to each other. There is also the famous concept of The Web of Wyrd, which reminds us that it is our own actions every day that weave the yarn for the day after; a web marrying fate with destiny…

“The day before yesterday I saw a rabbit, yesterday a deer, and today, you.” Love humbly begins from chance meetings, maturing into something meaningful when carefully nurtured and properly cultivated. Each day Julie sees something beautiful and substantial yet each following day is a deeper layer unfolding, beyond the veil of her eyes…
Love Letter: When The Worlds Kiss
Dear Miracle. Yes, you! The Christmas season is here and regardless of religion or spiritual belief, this is a sacred time when we celebrate the biggest miracle of all; the birth of a child, the birth of love. And we are all miracles. It is through our childlike eyes that we can see the purity and the divine in everything and everyone around us…
