God Is…ALL THE TIME
Yesterday, I claimed my Red Carpet Ride, and so it was. I had a good trip – flowing on-time all the way. I even arrived a half hour early back here on Kaua’i. It is good to be home. However, my luggage did not arrive. Hmmm…that has never happened before. So, does this mean that […]

I sit in West Palm Beach Airport, waiting for my flight. I have a three-leg journey back to Kaua’i. Lots of people get stressed traveling, but I have a peace-filled formula.

As I meditated today, I felt that it would be good to have a mantra to which I could turn today. It is the day of my mother’s funeral mass. I’ve been keeping you up with this journey, but have I mentioned the ups and downs of emotions that everyone experiences? Have I mentioned that […]

What am I feeling today? Centered and so grateful that I am prayed up. My mother’s wake was today and I was able to move through it with ease and grace. I gave her eulogy and then I got the strong urge to sing the Ave Maria for everyone. I did a capella, bringing everyone […]
