The Places that Scare You
May 25, 2009
Live fearlessly is a challenging concept to practice when we deal with things in society and in the daily pressures that overwhelm and conspire us to harden our hearts. Naturally, we see our ourselves as righteous warriors, gearing up for fights, defending ourselves from enemies wherever we turn. Perhaps in reality, what we truly battle with is a mirror image of ourselves –... [continue reading]

If you are a fan, you will absolutely love... [continue reading]

Before we know it, the early “sense” or “thought”... [continue reading]

Thanks to my friend Leah for recommending this book. It is one of the best books out there that gives a simple idea of what quantum physics is and this potentially complicated concept is unfolded in the form of a love story. I’ve read this book a couple of months back and I still think about it from time to time. The Time Traveler’s Wife is a romantic novel written by Audrey Niffenegger... [continue reading]
