World Kindness Day took place on Wednesday 13th November 2019. Lots of people on my IG network shared posts about kindness and what that means. I started thinking about this myself and what it means to me. I go through phases in my practice where I find myself seeing themes coming up in my client …
My first blog post since January 2019 could not have come on a more blessed day. Today is the 550th birthday of the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev Ji. When I have ever needed peace, I have always sought solace from his words, which are scribed in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Guru Nanak …
