“You cannot receive what you don’t give. Outflow determines inflow.” ~ Laozi When we listen to the news, read the paper, scroll social media, and view the people around us, we hear many people speaking of judgment, blame, divisiveness, hate, racism, and evil, but only a sound bite here and there about love. Love is… Read More »
