What is Soul?

What is Soul?

The phenomenon of the soul has always been a hot topic and curiosity for mankind. Since the time of ancient philosophers, we have thought deeply about what it means to be alive and the significance of the soul. As you read my posts, you may notice I often make reference to the soul.

Today, I planned on writing about a whole different topic for another category, but my iPhone froze and to make a long story short, I lost all the photos I wanted to use for the other post I had in mind. However, I was talking to my friend, author, Amy Garcia, and she suggested that I write about something everyday. So, here I am, writing about something that inspired me today.

American Beauty Realized

I took a hiatus for a while. I had some health issues during the winter months, but I'm back to cultivate more epicness. American Beauty is an awesome movie on so many levels. Did you understand the true message of the story? Let me remind you with a story from my own recent experience. About a month ago, my family physician reminded me that I had to have a mammogram exam. So, I made my appointment. The mammogram technician I worked with was genuinely kind, supportive, empath
