“Once I became willing to learn, a new world opened, and it was a world I hadn’t seen before. Past my angry, passionate feelings about life’s injustices, something else was waiting to be known. This new perspective was limitless. It encompassed the force of love and the greater nature hidden within each person …a nature that feeds on freedom, not fear.” ~Paula D’Arcy
It takes courage to live life fully. This is something we all understand. Still, there is an old wisdom which teaches that as the heart deepens in love, hundreds of doors swing open. Join Paula D’Arcy for this opportunity to explore LIVING FULLY beyond the love you’ve learned.
