Recently, I saw a movie called, “Spotlight.” It is the story about the Boston Globe Newspaper’s exposure of the massive and systematic coverup by the Catholic Church of 249 priests molesting over 1000 children in Boston, Massachusetts.

Attraction to Perpetrators

As some of my readers may know, I was involved for several years with a Kundalini active man who I met shortly before my Kundalini energy rose, who I believed to be my twin flame . It turned out to be a karmic relationship and a heartbreaking one at that. What I learned from this…

Growing Pains
In every relationship there is a purpose, however, we may not know the exact purpose until the relationship is over. As I reflect upon my past relationships, the ones that lasted were relationships that I met through synchronicity, and they were relationships without great obstacles. They were no great distances to overcome, they were not…
