Our gift to you…the biggest collection of soulmate sentiments on the internet!
I love the idea of setting aside a special day to celebrate sweetness. Folks in Ohio and Pennsylvania celebrate Sweetest Day on the third Saturday in October. Some people complain it’s a purely commercial venture to sell cards, flower, candy, and boost business at pricey restaurants. But what if we just look at the ‘sweet’ part?

Deep listening is a wonderful way to practice mindfulness. It’s a call to slow down and be completely present in this moment. Right here. Right now. Breathe in the joy of life surrounding you. Let something catch your attention that tickles your fancy. And the next time things get tense…do something silly. more »
