Instead of drowning in an ocean of despair, I want to offer tiny islands of hope where readers can stop for a few minutes and think about the goodness that still exists in the world. This pursuit has led to me towards a passionate project and book called Glimpses - a collection of personal essays and spiritual musings that I hope will open hearts, stir thoughts, and trigger conversations about life, love, and all that spiritual stuff.
