Life takes practice

Image
Have you practiced one of these emotions today? happiness?  happiness is not an object to be acquired; it's a practice love? Love is not something that you just fall into, as the romantic songs suggest. Love is a spiritual practice. fear? We are all afraid of something, each and every one of us. The question is: does your fear prevent you from doing things? gratitude? practicing gratitude makes the heart lighter, the soul feel blessed and the mind free self love? As RuPaul says, if you can't love yourself, how in the heck are you going to love someone else?!?

Keep Calm and Carry On is everywhere! Keep Calm and Carry On is on cups, t-shirts, posters and cuff links, tote bags deck chairs and even cookies It's a phrase that has really caught on. Where does it come from? What does it mean?
