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 […]

An Affair to Remember

July 1 is an affair to remember in my life. Do you remember the movie An Affair to Remember? Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr planned to meet at the top of the Empire State Building on July 1 to begin a lifetime together. Tragically, she stepped off the curb and was struck by a car, […]

First Class…First Cause

Who has ever flown First Class? I have, and I love the experience of the extra touches that First Class offers. Especially on longer trips like the one from here on Kaua’i to the Mainland. What if First Class was not a ticket on an airline or a destination, but a state of consciousness? What […]

When Things Look the Worst…

There is a quote by the mystic and teacher Ernest Holmes that states: “When things look the worst is the time to do your best work.” He goes on to tell us to “never deviate from the One,” and then challenge us to “throw ourselves with abandon into the limitless sea of receptivity.” This probably […]

To Dream the Impossible Dream

“We have the capacity through our imagination and our inner Knowing and wisdom to think beyond the 3D world, to realize that the 3D world is a world of illusions formed through our perceptions.” I’ve been challenged by others about this quote. The 3D world is very real. There is illness. There is war. There […]

Spiritual Pride?

Spiritual Pride What does it mean? Am I spiritually proud? I remember a quote by Ernest Holmes that hung over the door in our Center in Kapaa that said, “Whoever you are, be proud. You are a Divine idea in the Mind of God.” At first glance, this quote would seem dualistic, but when we […]
