Saying Yes to Generosity

What is generosity? I believe it is a state of consciousness where one is totally confident in themselves and their gifts. They understand that those gifts, when given freely, are inevitably replenished. When I write, for example, I do not worry that someone else is writing the same thing I am writing. I understand there […]

Edwene Gaines, I Love You

If I had to list the most influential people in my New Thought journey, Edwene Gaines would be at the top of my list. When I heard that she recently left this earth plane, I felt a hole in my heart that was rapidly filled by the spirit of her life. If you do not […]

Pivoting Towards Abundance: Transform Your Mindset

I had an experience today on my morning walk. I must be honest: I have this fear of loose dogs. I know Principle is not bound by precedent, but my fear is based on some past reality. I lost my cat to a loose dog. My friend was bitten by a loose dog. Anyway, I […]

Beyond Maybe

There is a song from the musical Ragtime called “Back to Before.” I got asked at the last minute this Sunday to sing something. I went through my song catalogue trying to find something that would fit our new topic this month, “Say Yes to Life,” and also our talk title today, “Beyond Maybe.” This […]

Free to Change

Free to Change We are entering what we call in Hawaiʻi “hurricane season.” It began with Fausto, now Genevieve is being watched, and so starts the familiar rhythm of storm tracking, flood advisories, high surf warnings, and that quiet hum of readiness that settles over the islands from June through November. In 1992, Hurricane Iniki […]

Freedom to Choose

Every day, I have the opportunity to walk by the ocean, contemplate, and let the beauty of nature set my day. I don’t always take that opportunity, but I do have that choice every day. Sometimes, I wonder if the day will come when I regret that I didn’t take that walk every day. I […]

When a Tsunami is Coming, Move to Higher Ground

This morning while discussing the present state of our country, the upcoming speech tonight from our President, and a recent video from Marianne Williamson regarding it all, my husband spoke these words, “When a flood is coming, move to higher ground.” I added, because we live on the island of Kaua‘i, “When a tsunami is […]

What’s Next

As I sit here celebrating the 13th year of ministry on the beautiful island of Kauaʻi, my heart is filled with gratitude—and my mind is filled with questions. I find myself reflecting on the journey Patrick and I began all those years ago when we boldly declared that we were coming to Kauaʻi to start […]

What’s Mine to Carry?

What is Mine to Carry? After 15 years in ministry, I find myself asking deeper questions about how I minister and how I want to move forward. I am expanding, learning, embracing new ideas, and remaining open at the top to what is possible as I navigate my ministry through a world of rapid change. […]

Freedom’s Unfinished Business

1776 Isn’t Finished Yet. It’s July 4, 2026. I woke up a bit sad. Well, that’s an understatement. I was very sad. There has been a cloud hanging over me all day. I will be honest. I am discouraged about all the goings on in our country. I, like many Americans and people from other […]
