The Vibrant Aliveness that is YOU!

Oh Yes, Let There Be Light!
Dear Friends,As the days finally begin to get longer, light is the theme all around. I feel lighter and more energized when I rise with the sun for my contemplative practices - and actually see it! It is great to write, practice qigong, yoga, chanting and/or...
