In essence, I just got busy with other things and when it was time for the rest of the book to come through, it did. No worrying or agonizing about it at all; sometimes it's just part of the process.

If you’ve read Spirituality Simplified, you know that certain song lyrics have played a key role in my life by both inspiring me and providing important guidance as well. The music of various artists also has served as an important tool for helping me to process negative emotions out of my body. There have, in fact, been many times in my life when just listening to a particular song has brought a Read more of this blog post »
