A Little Bit of Rita…

If you would like to introduce your friends to the New Thought Philosophy in a simple concise way or find out more about it yourself, then my little book This Thing Called Treatment is for you.

Need an Upgrade?

I’ve been thinking a lot about upgrades and expansion while traveling this past month. I just like upgrades. My husband always lets me know that when I travel I should travel like a queen. I go with this attitude. Now, I haven’t totally upgraded myself to a first class consciousness, but I do accept upgrades […]

No Such Thing as Ego?

What if there were no such thing as ego? I woke up with that question this morning. First, I have to define what I mean as ego. To me, it is the self that finds itself apart from everything. It is separation. It struggles for survival by making sure that it is seen, heard, and […]

Have a Scientific Day!

Yesterday, I gave a message at our Center titled “Where You Comin’ From?” When I get up to talk, although I have thought ahead and somewhat outlined what I want to say, I always allow myself to relax into my message and let it flow from within, trusting that what I say is perfect. As […]

What Do They Think of Me?

While I was traveling I watched a documentary about the famous Steven Spielberg. Many of us know that we was clear about being a filmmaker since the age of 16.

The seed of freedom must be planted in the inner most being of man, but like the Prodigal Son, man must make the great discovery for himself.” Yes, we are individuals and our individuality is spontaneous – self-choosing. Our individuality makes up our […]

There is Always MORE…

I had the most amazing day yesterday. My sister and I decided to go into NYC to see a Broadway show. For some of us, it might have seemed stressful. It was snowing and it was about 30 degrees. I was in NYC walking, slipping sliding on the slick sidewalks, pressed up again people in […]

As a Minister of New Thought who promotes positive thinking, I am often asked what you do when you are with people who might not think positively. What do you do when conversations are in the lower realms of complaining and negativity? What do you do? I had an experience like that yesterday. I was […]

Love is All There Is

Love really is all there is. If you are ever in an experience where you do not know what to do, or how to react, or do not know how you are even feeling, stop, take a breath and ask, “What would Love do here?” Your answer will come immediately. Love doesn’t have an ego. […]

Love Changes everything
