“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.”  ~Lao Tzu

Sun block and Sun glasses weren’t optional there, they were a necessity. But now, after some traveling and being around the cold wintry places of the world, including where I stay now, I kind of have come to appreciate the warm temperatures and the sun. Just goes to show this past winter was really chilly in this part of the world, more than I was ever used to before. Continue reading “How to Open Your Heart to Warmth ~ Raoka” →
