Is Ireland a living Goddess? Many of our visiting women believe this, and have good reason to. Added to this is their belief that this age is an awakening time for women. 1000s of years of the suppression, esteem breaking and persecution of women is breaking away so that they once again become in total flowing balance with men.I feel convinced that this age old suppression and persecution of women has also suppressed the flow, effect, purpose and good stewardship of masculinit...

I find this is the same for everyone.  T... Read Full Story

I may be wrong, but somehow I don’t think the cat was thinking those things. I would think the cat was fully aware of its condition and made the most of it, through each moment, calling upon all it could for strength and continuity. A few days later, the cat was up and a...
