August 2014: Charity
In looking up the definition of “Charity” in the online Oxford Dictionary, I found two of the four options rather interesting. Of course they had the two obvious ones:

November 2012: Practice
We as a culture tend to overlook art of practice. We want what we want and we want it now. We want to do/be/have something and if it fails to happen on the first try we throw in the towel and move onto the next thing.

August 2012: Priorities
We all have too much on our plates; to the point where we spend our time running around from one thing to the next without truly being in the moment. And because we have so much going on, we tend to overlook our health and well-being in the process.
