The Oasis Within
I follow the writings of a philosopher named Tom Morris. He is the author of several great books and he writes occasionally for the Huffington Post.

How To Double The Number of Books You Read This Year

Increasing Your Ability to Take the High Road
When the most difficult choices in life come to you, you too “will have to choose between that which is easy, and that which is right.” The voice or power deep inside which guides us to take the high road must be developed and strenghtened.

My Wonderful Ami & 2011 Goals
