If you, like me are visually impaired, then I’d say all of us are “spiritually gifted. Want to know why? Because…….the one window of “sight pollution” is shut. This is an opportunity for us to turn inward- introspect; check and change. What is the one habit pattern you’d like to work on? How about connecting with “The Divine Charger”? – one whose energy is boundless, unlimited and vibrant!

As a little girl, I enjoyed going to book fairs and fetes with my father. Apart from the daddy-daughter time, I looked forward to buying new toys, books and other items of interest. Here’s a picture of a painted rock I picked out on one such outing. The text on the rock reads: “Daggers and spears are not as sharp as tongues.”
