Sparkles. Sunlight on water or ice. Gems in the right light. Little kids. Christmas tree lights twinkling. I love sparkles! It’s so little girl to say, but I still love ‘em! They make me happy. Have you ever had the deep desire to live out your purpose, but when your path takes an unexpected turn, [...]

Those in our lives who make the most meaningful and enduring contributions to who we are have dared to take their place among equals. The world stares in amazement at the glittering adornments of the ego, but only those who walk beside us in love and equality reach our hearts and transform us. – Hugh [...]

“However confused the scene of our life appears, however torn we may be who now do face that scene, it can be faced, and we can go on to be whole.” ~ Muriel Rukeyser “We can expect to feel fear, even dread at some points in our lives. We will always have situations that, for [...]

Over the last several years, I’ve thought of changing my name to my spiritual name, Kamala. I love the way it sounds and the way it feels inside when it’s said. When over the course of several days last week, I had what felt like incredible openings and shifts. Breakdowns and breakthroughs. And now, it [...]

I wonder if it is possible to love being vulnerable in the United States, or most of the world, at this time in history. It’s one of those very weird things where people often love the quality in others, but wouldn’t want that same quality themselves. I understand we can relate more with someone who’s [...]

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 [...]

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. From a great little devotional (Each Day a New Beginning): Often when we’re being tough and strong, we’re scared. It takes a [...]
