Parts of the last year have been a little hard to take, haven’t they? Our whole country, perhaps the world, is experiencing change: shifts, large and small – with likely more to follow – leave us feeling a little unbalanced. And most of us, feeling a little unsteady, try to brace ourselves, to hold on [...]

You are a gift. You need to shine your light – the light of love and mercy and compassion. You all need to shine your lights. Together you make up the resonance that will change the world. Stand together, shine your lights. Know yourselves. Know yourselves deeply. Banish the doubt…when you notice the negative thoughts, [...]

This lovely video depicts the beauty in the wisdom of some of our elders. Their beauty, vibrance, elegance, as well as wisdom. The love and appreciation of these qualities have steeped the work of the wise young man who took on this project, Andrew Zuckerman. Are we willing to take a big, juicy bite out [...]

During the Women’s Sacred Circle last Saturday, one of the participants shared this lovely little poem. Enjoy! God Says Yes to Me – Kaylin Haught I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic and she said yes I asked her if it was okay to be short and she said it sure is [...]

Oh, my gosh, when I got my “download” about having a women’s Speaking Circle/Sacred Circle, I knew it would be a very special gathering. It was even better than I’d hoped for! It felt like each of us received even more confirmation of the strength and healing power of a group of women. The day [...]

Being vulnerable. Who wants that?! Nobody I know…although, deep down, I think many of us do want to be open and “vulnerable” – at least when we feel safe enough to do so.

I love this! Stepping out of your comfort zone, in support of friends! What kinds of things would you be willing to do for your friends? Especially on their “big day”? Dancing down the aisle would be a no-brainer for me…of course I’d do it, but what if their request really was out of my [...]

When I was younger, I enjoyed reading Erma Bombeck’s work.  She had a delightful way of looking at simple things and, if not roll on the floor laughing funny, her humor was amusing.  I’ve realized in the last couple of months that one of my little fantasies is to write a bit like Ms. Bombeck…with [...]

So Greg left this world last week.  Same day as Michael Jackson & Farrah.  Very weird, for me, losing two icons from my youth and one of my contemporaries passing.  That has stirred a lot for me.  The preciousness of life.  Death and what it might really mean or be like.  Family. Greg had become [...]

This beautiful poem by Hafez, reminds me of how loving God is. That often He will so gently come in and help relieve us of our burdens. Too bad we cling to so many of them, even when we know they’re not good for us. And then there those that we (I) can’t even see [...]
