Gratitude Brings More Good – Blog 78
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.” – Cicero  This Thanksgiving week provides us with an opportunity to step away from our concerns, worries and uncertainty about the future and focus on the good we have in the NOW.   This Thursday, those of us living in the United States will gather with our loved ones to celebrate with a feast of GRATITUDE that focuses on all the GOOD already in our lives, instead of on whatever we think we lack.  Of course, this is exactly what we should be doing every day, if w

Build Soul Equity – Blog 77
“Each experience through which we pass operates ultimately for our good.
