“Peace Is the New Power”
Recently, I was thumbing through a Yoga Journal magazine and came across an ad titled “Peace is the new power.” Since the word ‘peace’ is my word for 2017, I naturally stopped to take in those words. “Peace is the new power.” I truly believe that peace is power; that the power of peace is […]
