I began practicing a form of karate earlier this year. After taking two months off, I began practice again on Sunday. During the philosophy portion of practice, we began to discuss the difference of spirit, soul and chi. I was relatively clear on the difference between spirit and soul.
To me, your soul is what you [...]

Come to your senses

I’ve always been highly motivated by scents. Ever since I was little with a strawberry shortcake doll. After that it was yummy smelling bath products. Then perfumes (glad that phase is over!). Then candles. I’ve had a long love affair with candles. Musky, earthy, citrusy, delicious candles. I was reminded of my love for scents [...]

I’m experiencing the struggle. And have been for about 4 months. Mentally, I am not 100% focused when it comes time to get on the [...]

I was having dinner with a friend two nights ago and we got to talking about career shifts and the looming “life purpose” that seems to so widely evade everyone. It occurred to me that while not everyone is crystal clear, and some aren’t even close to figuring out what their life purpose is – [...]
