The Lighter Side of Spirituality
I’ve been deeply spiritual and—the older I grow, the more I allow myself to say it—faithful for over twenty years. I just know that God exists; I can deeply feel it. I don’t know it” on a mental level, I don’t have “scientific proof”, whatever that should look like. But on a good day, I…

Linking – a nice mnemonic trick
Have you ever been in a situation, where you had to make sure you remembered something? Like “take my passport with me when I leave my home”?
