    About

    Please feel free to leave comments or ask questions as long as they're not offensive or vulgar. Disagreement, debate, and intellectual provocation are fine as long as they're productive and not disparaging. As Gandhi said, "Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress."

    Although this blog was created to provide inspiration and insight gleaned from the writer's perspective, topic suggestions are welcome. In general, it's a blog about shared human experiences. Although the wisdom of religious leaders may be visited at times, this blog wasn't designed to address specific dogmatic differences. It's also not a political blog. Otherwise, please share your thoughts.
