Hilary Duff

.




I read that Hilary Duff is working her fingers to the bone
in preparation for her wedding.
That’s not uncommon.

For centuries women have tried to make their wedding day
just as special as possible.
The Tibetan, Buddhist saint, Milarepa even wrote about it.

Couldn’t it be wiser to take all that effort
and instead of using it to make the ceremony and reception and special as possible,
rather invest it in making the marriage as special as possible.

Who cares how you look, or what other folks think of you?
Let’s make our relationships into a work of art!


The Wednesday series of webinars begins in just 3 weeks.


May you and yours be
happy and healthy!

Om Mani Padme Hum,
