Attitudes and Latitudes

Attitudes are a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person’s behavior. Latitude is about the scope for freedom of action as well as thought. Put the two of them together and we have a potential for a winning formula in this life. How? Our

So much to do — is there ever enough time?

Age old question, not confined to today’s fast paced life we live in. It is a matter of getting the mind organized with tasks and priorities. And then………..there is something else. The something else is our desires and passions for doing what it is that we believe is ours to do in this lifetime. Each

Love is always present for us

Love is forever present, it is all around us. We merely need to be open to it and believe that it is there, that it is good and we that we can touch it. And yet, somehow, we seem to move all around it. We flirt and play and fall deep and enjoy it, and then
