Dear Beloved Community, Our Soul Matters theme this month is inclusion. I couldn’t think of a better value to explore right now, particularly during “Side with Love” month. Inclusion- as something to strive towards in society, government, and corporate life- has been excoriated lately and it would be well to define what it is to … Continue reading February 2025

Ah, Vacation. Few things are more enticing than the prospect of vacation.  Whether that means taking a work break, visiting family, or being lucky enough to travel to a different location for sightseeing or sitting by the beach, we all dream of having more time to get away. At the heart of this human need … Continue reading June 2024
