Par’s Picks – 22

Hello hello!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend. 

Aside from running the Miami half marathon on Sunday, we are attending a good friend’s wedding the rest of the weekend.  The Sangeet was last night, and the wedding is this afternoon.  I love love!

Anyway, sit back, relax, and enjoy my favorite reads from the week.  I think you’ll agree that I found some good ones!

Light is fast; it only takes a moment to let it out. If you accept you are energy itself, and don’t block it with over thinking, doubts, and fears, you will always communicate pure energy and hope.
