About

Welcome to Simple Strand of Love! I am Kami, a Bahá’í wife and mom striving to combine my psychology training and two decades of teaching experience with my deep love for the Bahá’í teachings, to create books and journals focused on supporting daily practices that nurture spiritual and personal development.

My husband and I have been married 27 years, and together we have lived on three continents, in four countries (USA, South Africa, Eswatini, Israel), and an island (Kaua’i, Hawaii). Sounds crazy? But I wouldn’t change a second of it!

So, what have I done in-between packing and unpacking boxes? I have a Master’s degree in psychology, have started and run a couple of small businesses, served at the Bahá’í World Center in Haifa, Israel, had two baby boys, homeschooled both for 15 years and counting, ran a blog for a few years, held a lion cub in my arms, walked with giraffes, swam with dolphins in the wild, and safely avoided the spitting cobras and puff adders that lived in our back yard in Eswatini (yep, it’s not all glamorous, my friends!).

What will you find in my little corner of cyberspace? I believe that the journey of spiritual transformation and intellectual development is symbiotic with our contribution to the betterment of society and service to others. Everything on this site is an expression of my striving to implement this two fold moral purpose in my life and to share what I am learning with others in case they find it useful—either books and journals that can be used in personal and family life, or resources to use in community building and institute activities.

Thank you for visiting Simple Strand of Love!

Book

As parents we wish to give our children the best beginning that we can, and to instill good habits that will set them up for success and happiness in life. The key to happiness and growth is not limited to our emotional and academic success, but is in fact, more impacted by our spiritual development. With this in mind, if we nurture a daily habit of study and the ability to delve deeply into understanding the meaning and lessons to be learned from the sacred teachings compiled in this book, we can create a pattern of self-growth and spiritual development that will become a natural part of the rhythm of our children’s lives. 

It has been shown that it takes 3 months to successfully develop a habit. This book contains 100 days of sacred and inspirational quotations. Each day a new quotation is accompanied by a vocabulary section to help with understanding any difficult words, and followed by a discussion section to stimulate conversation aimed at fully understanding the meaning of each verse, how it applies to and impacts our lives, and how to put it into action that leads to personal growth and contributing to the larger community.

Journal

A tool to focus on growth and gratitude in just a few minutes a day.

Every day of this three month long journal starts with reflection on an inspiring quote from the Bahá’í writings, which provides strategies for personal and spiritual growth that can create a more coherent, meaningful, and fulfilling life. This is followed with a gratitude practice—a practice that psychology research has shown can increase happiness, improve health and well-being, strengthen your ability to deal with adversity, and even enhance your relationships. There is space for reflection; in which you can observe the changes in your life through systematically implementing what you are learning. Weekly and quarterly reflection and planning pages are provided to offer a longer term perspective on the growth achieved.
