I wrote an article a while back called “The Foundation of Love” – Releasing Judgments and Expectations for Tinybuddha.com when I first learned the destructive impact of judgment in our personal relationships.

I was first intrigued seeing this little book a couple months ago at the checkout display of Chapters – a store I frequent a little too often : ) Something about ‘life changing, and magic’ caught my attention…not to mention the ‘NY Times bestseller’ sticker by a book coming from Japan where I knew firsthand […]
