Day 175 – Liars

The most horrible liars aren’t people, although people can fabricate some pretty savage deceptions.

The worst liars are our hearts.

Unhealed pains, wounds, and trauma create the perfect soil for the lies of our heart to form a worldview founded in deception and it can only grow increasingly with the water provided by the world’s confusing ways. Continue Reading →

But in the horror, there is also great opportunity for positive global change, because such ‘unfair’ forces compel people to stop and meditate about life from a place of vulnerability, fragility, and fallibility. This can potentially reap great results that surrender ego, control, and power, leading to higher thoughts… Continue Reading →
