Karma and Forgiveness

By Debra Basham, on June 12, 2023

We crave that deep place within that cannot be touched by the ups and downs of life, but rather just IS – connected and whole.

~ Katie Rubinstein

For well over twenty years I have been working with a Karmic stream from a lucid past life. I will tell it like a fictional story so […]

The Theme of Home
