Todays Blog is a little off topic vis-a-vis the ethics of charging money for spiritual work (I don't by the way) but the concept of Right Livelihood gives a framework for ethical decision making.
I'm a recent follower of this blog, but I am really loving the prompts so far. Please keep them coming! I started my blog to help myself explore my spirituality on a deeper level and I am not always sure what to write about, so I am sure your prompts will be very helpful in the future. Here is my related post to this particular one. Blessed be!
