In January 2026 I began to follow a beautiful story unfolding about a simple, quiet walk involving 19 Buddhist monks and their loyal dog Aloka {who was rescued during a previous walk in India in 2022}. I was so intrigued by the walk that I drove from my home on the east coast of South Carolina to Great Falls, South Carolina and up to Charlotte, North Carolina following their journey. As I watched them walk and had the honor of attending one of their nightly peace talks I began to experience a new kind of peace fill my heart. I continued to watch their journey on-line all the way to Washington, DC and am forever moved by what I learned as I watched these strong, steady masters live what they were teaching.

They taught us that when you appreciate something you can say "sadhu" (three times) which means - I acknowledge this meritorious deed.

Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu

On February 11, 2026 19 Buddhist monks and their loyal dog Aloka (the peace dog) completed the Walk for Peace. The walk was a 109 day, 2,300 mile journey fro...

How do you create businesses that support your life instead of creating a life that supports businesses? To find out, tune into this inspiring interview with David Streisand on my YouTube channel. (Link to channel is in my bio)

David is not only a world traveler, a YouTuber, a husband and a dad, but has many other roles and talents. I would describe him as a person who thinks outside the box, follows his passions and has the ability to come up with creative solutions to many of life’s everyday challenges. This interview not only inspired me, but helped me to see new ways to look at many aspects of life. If you’ve ever felt stuck and powerless to live life on your terms, I encourage you to listen to David’s view of life and look for new opportunities to thrive with what’s right in front of you.

Today I welcome another dear friend from my homeschool group who is a lifestyle photographer and amazing mom. Nicole has been engaged in the art of photography most of her life and finally decided to turn it into a business about six years ago. Her photographs tell the story of family, love and authenticity in a beautiful, raw and romantic way. I am in awe every time I see a new post on her page from a recent session. To learn more about Nicole, view her work and/or book a session go to the links in the comments.

Today I am very excited because I am starting a new series called the Heart of Business. This series is meant to highlight the people behind small businesses and the stories of why they do what they do. As we get more into the world of AI, the only real differentiator between people and machines will be our incredible hearts. It is my opinion that our hearts are profound and that is why I choose to highlight and stay connected to the heart.

Today I welcome my dear friend and fellow hypnotherapist Nicole White. Nicole is an artist and hypnotherapists that lives in rural New Mexico and provides an online space for people to rediscover their creativity and also to develop personal memoirs to leave a legacy for family or larger audiences to treasure well into the future.

Please join us for this maiden voyage into The Heart of Business. (link in comments)

Today I welcome a fellow homeschool dad whom I've gotten to know over the past three years in our wonderful group of parents. He is a real estate agent who recent joined Serhant Brokerage here in the Myrtle Beach, SC area. In this interview Brian shares his journey from the restaurant business in New York to real estate in South Carolina as well as his journey as a husband, father and spiritual human being. I learned so much talking with Brian and I hope you will as well.

I really enjoy hearing people tell the stories of why they do what they do, so I thought I’d share my story for anyone who might be interested. I believe we all have many powerful, creative gifts within us and that when we align with those gifts then we are able to live lives full of freedom, creativity, playfulness and joy. I believe that is the kind of life we are all meant to live and my hope is to help others do this.

Many of us have been programmed to believe that emotions are something we need to control and that we need to be strong and not let our emotions surface. This advice is not healthy and we need to realize what it is doing to us and ultimately to our children. When we look around we are seeing more and more unhappy and emotionally distraught young people. I believe that the path to helping our youth is to restore our relationship with emotions by understanding they are energy-in-motion and need to be expressed in a healthy way.
