RECOMMENDATIONs @ECA

Throughout my life, I have learned to be open to inspiration, insight and hope from a variety of resources and artistic mediums. It is my hope that you find inspiration, strength and hope along your journey. 


Each section notes a variety of subjects that include humor, grief (letting go), gratitude, humility, and courage (overcoming fear). But most importantly, they provided an insight or perspective that I had not previously been aware of. 


One of my basic tenets of life (all things being equal), is that if I traveled your journey, walked a mile in your shoes, or experienced your environment, I would be in the exact place you are at this moment. It has taught me compassion, understanding and gratitude. I feel enlightened when I understand that the only thing that separates me from another, is our experiences.  


Each of these items  are recommended because on some level, they changed me, my perspective, my beliefs and values., and ultimately, my spirituality. In short, they moved me, and inspired me to  become my best self. It is my wish that you find things that inspire you. Fill your mind with new experiences that mold and shape you. 


Lastly, since we exist in our minds, make sure it's a great place to be. These recommendations were my fuel, my energy to create a great place to live.
