It’s exciting to see a television show on NBC that embraces spiritual callings and the journey. Manifest has 3 seasons, but I didn’t notice it until recently on Netflix.

I love to take a walk on a previously unknown trail in the woods. The feeling of discovery! Secret, narrow, winding paths are the best. Would you agree? And on such a walk today with my husband and Sadie (yes the cute one!) I was again reminded of the mirror and metaphor between our encounters […]
