Holey Jeans, No Internet, and Loads of Kindness – A Thanksgiving Story
A most eloquent and touching Thanksgiving story from my friend, Jonathan Byrd. It’s no surprise that his (true) story is also chock full of proof for the Epidemic of Kindness. “Happy Thanksgiving. I’m avoiding the internet lately, but I’d like to take a moment to tell you where I’ve been. What I’ve seen this past […]
It’s An Epidemic!
There’s an epidemic spreading across the globe and it is seriously infectious, contagious, and addictive. No one is exempt from its effects.

Will You Build Trust or Will You Betray?
I took some time out early this morning and watched Brene Brown’s The Anatomy of Trust, one of Oprah’s Supersoul Sessions. It was very moving: Dr. Brown’s research, wisdom and perspectives on trust explain how we build trust and how we destroy it. “Trust is built in the smallest of moments.”, says renowned researcher Brown, author of […]

Parisien Antoine Leiris’s Facebook post to those responsible for his wife’s death during the Paris attacks on November 13, 2015, went viral. Why? Our true nature is divine love.

Reiki for Cows? Absolutely.
Sophie is my dear rancher friend in Montana. She’s been struggling: her 170 calves were having a really rough go during their post-weaning time this year. The calves are super stressed during this adjustment period due to the separation from their mothers, the change to different food (no more udders around) and the variable winter weather. […]
