By Guy Finley, OneJourney Founder I can think of no greater encouragement than the self-evident Truth that there dwells in each of us the opportunity to explore and know the Extraordinary Life. The meaning of Extraordinary I wish to convey points to the immutable and inexhaustible source that is the secret center of each of us: a timeless resource open […]
The great sages throughout time have recognized that we are born with seeds of the soul, but they must be nurtured if they are to flower.

Q&A with Guy Finley Being renewed by love, and beginning your life all over again, are one and the same interior action.
