The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

In a philosophy called “The Science of Mind,” we have a Principle, and that is that God is everywhere and that God is Good. Yes, this is true. When I use the term God, I am talking about the Power of the Universe, the Unlimited Potentiality, the Creative Intelligence, the Absolute. It moves and expresses […]

No More Hiding

And so, I went for an Akashic Reading. If you’re unfamiliar with the Akashic Records, they are understood in certain spiritual traditions as the records of our soul’s journey across lifetimes. Now, I don’t ordinarily do this sort of thing, but I had a reason. I am opening to a new life, and quite frankly, […]

Back to You

When I was studying this teaching with my mentor, the class would sometimes get rowdy over a question or a heated discussion. Our teacher would simply speak over the rumble: “Back to me.” He knew who he was, and he knew who was in charge of that class. When life gets noisy and rowdy, when […]

Music is My Medicine

Tonight, after more than eight months of preparation alongside my work as a Spiritual Director, I am ready to stand on the stage and present a full concert of the music of Stephen Sondheim. I’m not sure how many will be in the audience. The books show 50, but it doesn’t matter. I manifested a […]

Say Yes to What’s Next

My week has been quite a journey because of the passing of Dolly Parton. I wrote a blog about how the love she expressed in life was released into the world through all of us — the tributes, the songs, the essays, the photos. It was as if love had been plucked from a turbulent […]

Thank You Dolly!

I don’t claim to know what happens after we die, other than that life continues. I do believe this, and I have seen and felt much evidence of it. So, with that in mind, I didn’t want this week to end without saying something about the passing of Dolly Parton. I did not know her, […]

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 […]
