Work Is Fun….

RohiniReflections, Stories and Occasions, Uncategorized

As a child I was active; I had “productive” and “work ethic” all over me. My girl classmates in the sixth grade would say, “We like boys, we carry pocketbooks, we cut our hair. You are so different than us”. They were right, I was different.  I was boring in that I danced every day after school with a prominent …

Surrendering to Growth….

I am in the middle of a change. Change is never pleasant, no matter how positive it is.

A leader can be defined as someone who one or more people authorize to guide toward a particular goal.

Magic is Illusion. The Goal is Magic. Therefore the Goal is Illusion. Unfortunately and unknowingly, many people seeking “the Path” are following the above logic.
