Quote of the day: 
Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts. -Paramahansa Yogananda

An image showing Kevin Lewis, 18 (pictured left) and his best friend Afonso Slater,18, who were both orphaned from a young age in Mozambique. They grew up depending on each other, and in 2008, at 10 years old they were coincidentally adopted by two different families in Gilbert, Arizona -who lived just 2 miles apart.

  4. Things we take to be coincidence may sometimes be preordained. We will never know. But it could be so. I like think so. The idea of it gives me hope.

  6. These are indeed inspiring. Thank you. I love the quote. I read "Autobiography of a Yogi" several years ago. Yesterday I watched "The Life of Yogananda" on Netflix. When I can I visit the Center for Self Realization, a beautiful place near San Diego, founded by Yogananda. Now, I read the quote you selected. Coincidence? Or is there something in my life I need to focus on?
