By Karen | April 26, 2019 |

Be Nice To You

By Karen | April 11, 2019 |

How many times have you looked in the mirror and been critical of your body, your hair, your skin? How many times have you said negative things to other people about yourself? How many times have you said something like “I hate my (fill in the blank)?” We are often our own worst enemy, and…

Do You Meditate?

By Karen | April 11, 2019 |

Do you think the only people who can successfully meditate are Buddhist monks who sit on mountaintops? Do you think that because you have trouble shutting off your thoughts that you are a failure when it comes to the practice of meditation?
