How to Solve ALL Your Problems
This is the third time I start writing this article. I discarded the two previous starts, first was getting too analytical and in the second one I started to write at a friend's house and he interrupted me to express himself and I allowed him. Every moment I am a new...
Power, Responsibility, Impeccability and Surrender
Some minutes ago, I shook my head and put a hand to my mouth. I was surprised how seemingly small words can trigger great energies from people. But I am now fairly certain that Divine Love never betrays you. It only helps you. As I said in the previous post, I have...
