Dear Friend,

Personal Update. My Personal Update for December is now available.

What’s New. The big news for this month is that today is the 60-Year Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) — the document that is the basis for the Resources For Life Mission and the Adonaikido way of life.
