May the REAL ME Step Forward

Yesterday in honor of the Fourth of July, my husband, Patrick and I watched the musical film “1776.” I am so glad we decided to watch it. I’d never seen it before and it was inspiring and fun and serious at the same time. Of course, it got me thinking about our Founding Fathers and […]

Look For The Fixed Good

Science has now shown us what the ancients have known: We live, move, and have our being in the Field of Energy that permeates all creation.
