How are you serving the world and contributing your gifts?

I think we best serve the world by simply trying to be more loving, more positive, more forgiving in any moment. Love makes us conduits for miracles and receptive to miracles. From that, all else follows.

What does living wholly mean to you?

Living Wholly means “holy.” When I remember I’m a spiritual being, a creation of God, here on the earth to do God’s Will, i.e. channel Love, then I’m in my whole mind. Outside that space, we’re neurotic, psychically dismembered, scattered.

What are your top 3 tips for living a healthy, fulfilling life?
