Collective Prosperity

October 13, 2024 • 25 mins

August 18, 2024 • 24 mins
I have to get this done. I should go visit so and so. I need to work. It’s easy to bemoan or even resent the “have to’s” and the “I should’s”, the things that feel like unwelcome obligations.

Non-Judgment: Because You Never Really Know

July 21, 2024 • 26 mins
It’s so easy, isn’t it? We all do it – judge others for actions we believe are wrong. Sometimes we simply cannot imagine any circumstance under which the action taken could ever be the right thing to do; it’s wrong, period, end of story. But, what if there really is more to the story?
