The more technology shrinks and connects our world, the more we are confronted with challenges that we have to deal with, almost on a daily basis. As I watch it all unfold, I will be inspired from time to time, to focus attention on and share with you how my Radical Living Strategies can help all of us meet our challenges with greater ease and compassion. My hope is that these offerings give you the insight you need to create the peaceful, fulfilling life you desire.
What is happening in Egypt right now, not to mention the violence going on in Syria, Iraq and Northern Ireland, to name just a few examples of religion-inspired violence is extremely distressing and brings up feelings of helplessness and despair in those of us watching from the sidelines.
