My Dear Readers, Thank you for jumping on board with me this past year as I launched my new website and blog. Your support has been both invaluable and encouraging—I cannot thank you enough! As you may have noticed, I recently added a new category in addition to the...
The Holy Journey of Forgiveness
(Short Sacred Experience, Dec. 11, 2024) It has been about a month or so since my last spiritual experience. Yesterday morning, I was sitting in my chair, watching the news. I felt the typical parasympathetic limp sensation, but it came on a little more slowly than...
