In the wake of developing our ABC's of Spirituality, we discovered the amazing work of Linda Kavelin Popov, her husband Dr. Dan Popov and her brother, John Kavelin. They researched the world's diverse sacred traditions, and discovered more than 360 virtues at the heart of all beliefs about the meaning and purpose of life. They self-published a book to help parents bring out the best in themselves and their children. The Family Virtues Guide is now published by Penguin/Putnam and is translated into many languages. The Vision of The Virtues ProjectTM is to serve humanity by supporting the moral and spiritual development of people of all cultures, by helping them to remember who they really are and to live by their highest values. The Mission of The Virtues ProjectTM is to provide empowering strategies that inspire the practice of virtues in everyday life through programs of excellence and simplicity which support people of all ages to cultivate their virtues -- the gifts of character. Linda Kavelin Popov's new book, A Pace of Grace: The Virtues of a Sustainable Life has Ten Rules for Health and a 4-part program to Purify Your Life, Pace Yourself, Practice the Presence, and Plan a Sustainable Life. A Pace Of Grace is endorsed by His Holiness, the Dalai Lama.

Stay joyfully tuned for our books - new (thought) Laurie Story Books including Joy Boy!
The Adventures of Joy Boy! The first story introducing Joy Boy and his World Family is written and being illustrated. The characters are beautiful and vibrant; Water Mother, Fire Father, Earth Girl, Wind Pet and of course Joy Boy. From this intial story, we are looking at offering a weekly Sunday comic on the site. Here's an excerpt from The Adventures Of Joy Boy written by Laurie Story & Jeremiah:

"The boy stared at the angel for one, long, doubt filled moment.
Then he felt his heart flood with light and surge with energy.
His mind flew fast in freedom. He held out his hand and whispered
his heart’s greatest desire, “I want to be an angel too. I want to fly.”
Julie Jenkins-Sathe who co-wrote the kids version of 64 Ways in 64 Days for Peace - here on the site - has a new book out!! "TEENS! CHANGE IS YOUR CHOICE Solutions from Within" is written specifically for teen readers.
