The Wisdom of Change

Born to Change At times in my life, I have been known as being “all over the map.” If you haven’t heard the expression, it means that you just can’t seem to settle down with one thing in life. For me, I was always searching. Was I a singer? Was I an actress? Was I […]

When an Elder Dies…

“When an elder dies, a library burns to the ground.” African Proverb I was preparing for my online morning meditation. I rejected this quote at first. It seemed final and dreary and lacked inspiration. However, I couldn’t let it go. Something within me needed to speak to it for my ancestors. I understand that when […]

Without or Within

“When you without for your worthiness, you truly go with-out the truth of your inner light.”Rita Andriello-Feren Where are you putting your faith and trust these days? I am constantly bombarded by the news and the happenings around the world. I do not spiritually bypass and say, “I don’t want to look at that!” I […]

The Pearl Within

Carl Jung wrote this: “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” I woke from a dream in which I kept receiving pearls to wear around my neck. They were gifts. At one point, Kamala Harris walked in quickly and bestowed a pearl necklace upon me. I […]

Perfect Timing?

Is there always perfect timing? Is life always unfolding perfectly?

Got Attitude?

“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life.” — Kahlil Gibran So, I must always remember that what life brings to me is influenced greatly by the attitude I bring to it. What I see often becomes what I experience. My beliefs […]

All Shall Be Well

I love researching people and ideas and posing questions to myself about what I find. Today, I happened upon a quote by Julian of Norwich (c. 1343 – after 1416), a Christian mystic, spiritual writer, and anchoress living in Norwich during the Middle Ages. She is best known as the author of Revelations of Divine […]

Wisdom of the Ages

THE WISDOM OF THE AGES What is wisdom? That is the first question we must agree upon in order to read this blog in the way it is intended. Metaphysically speaking, wisdom is the direct knowing of Truth. It is an inner recognition of unity. It is the voice of the deeper Self expressing through […]

Happy Birthday, Patrick!

Today, May 2, is one of my favorite holidays—it is my beautiful husband Patrick Feren’s birthday. I am celebrating him today and deeply acknowledging all the good he brings to the world through his inner child work and his unwavering belief in the power of self-love. He doesn’t teach anything he hasn’t experienced himself—he truly […]
