Our newest book
Pearls of Wisdom
for Living a Richer Life
is out and we’re really excited about it.

Read a sample story from the book.

“Wisdom:

Knowledge with experience which has been distilled through the heart over time.”

~Rick Nichols

Learning is a process which first requires gaining raw knowledge of something and then having experiences of that knowledge. For instance, reading a book about driving a car will not fully prepare you to drive a car. You will have to experience and practice driving a car before you will be able to do it skillfully. To become a wise driver of a car you will need to practice driving a car over time in a heartful way.

How does one drive a car in a heartful way?

By driving with heartfulness, which means cultivating compassion for other drivers and taking the necessary precautions to assure that you, as well as other drivers, pedestrians, and animals are not harmed.

When knowledge with experience is distilled through the heart the impurities of judgment, anger, resentment, etc are removed, leaving pure Spirit which is love.

Dear Hearts,

It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.
~Joseph Campbell

The authors in our anthology, Pearls of Wisdom
For Living a Richer Life, acquired a bit of grit in the process of living which became lodged deep within. At first this grit was painful and difficult to live with. Over time they worked to polish, round, and cover it with layer upon layer of love, compassion, and forgiveness. Much as an oyster works a grain of sand into a pearl, these every day sages have transformed their grit into pearls of wisdom that can help guide your way on the path.

Our authors clearly have gained knowledge with experience which has been distilled through the heart over time.

They now bravely open themselves to share that beauty with you.

Make it a week of wisdom.

Love and blessings,

Rick and Patricia
