Our lives are like the talents in the parable of the three stewards. It is something that has been given to us for the time being and we have the opportunity and privilege of doing our best with this precious gift.

Anxiety and depression are the price you pay for a well-lived life.

Joy is connection... The more areas in your life you can make connection, the better.

It's very hard, for most of us to tolerate being loved.
