I just posted some playable music on the sidebar of my blog. This music is a sample of the tunes that were moving through my head as I was writing my new book, “TWO HEARTS”. This music really helps tell the story. The imagery in my mind blossomed with these songs. There were at least a dozen different songs which …

It’s Not Gambling…
It’s not gambling if you know what you’re doing. It’s gambling if you are guessing, kidding yourself, lying, fooling or convincing yourself or others, or if you’re in denial.

According to Wikipedia, “theory” is: “a contemplative and rational type of abstract or generalizing thinking”. The same source refers to mantra as: “a sacred utterance, sound, …
