Slowing Down the Speed of Life on Maria Shriver
Being a writer since I was a child, it is always amazing when my words can be shared with others. I believe we are all students and teachers throughout life, and in many ways I write not only to share or "teach", but also as a way to reflect on my life and learn...

Kindness Heals – Let’s ‘Live Like That’
I am convinced that anger is just hardened hurt and that kindness heals. And everything we do is really, at the core, a call for love, to be heard, to be seen...we must see and treat all people as an extension of oneself - we are all the same. Releasing fear and...
