Let us be the change..
Every single day as we go through life, we all face negative situations. When we have poor reactions to these situations we let a lot of negative emotions into our mind, body, and soul.

Bhutan- travelling the land of happiness
Nested amidst the Himalayan range, this tiny little country of Bhutan is the first to measure its Gross Domestic Product in happiness. Yes, that is right. It is known as the land of happiness.

Hiking The Tiger’s Nest, Bhutan -Conquering the Biggest Physical Challenge of My Life
As I stood at an elevation of 7,000 feet and looked up at the The Tiger’s Nest (Paro Taktsang) so beautifully perched on a Himalayan mountain another 3,000 feet high, I had such mixed emotions about hiking. Our trip to Bhutan, with both our younger kids (now young adults) will always be one of the most magnificent trips we have ever taken. It would not be complete without hiking and…
