I have been reading all the works of Florence Scovel Shinn, as I get ready to teach a fun, inspiring one-evening workshop at CSL Kaua’i in June. She never minces words and talks straight to us in her writing. The basic premise is: “By your words you prosper or are condemned.” It might seem harsh, […]
Read more "By Your Words…"I have always been the girl who knew in her heart she could have what she put her mind to. Sometimes, I might have to wait for it, but as my grandma used to tell me, “Good things come to those who wait.” I believed her. When I was growing up, I loved to climb […]
Read more "Girls Climb Trees"Could you entertain the idea for a moment that the word, Lord means Law. It makes perfect sense. We cannot see God or the Force of all Creation. In fact, no one has ever seen him/her. I believe this is because God is a Presence and can only be felt within. God is a personal […]
Read more "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory…"I have been immersed lately in the work of Florence Scovel Shinn. I highly recommend her as a great read that can be put into practical application. Every great metaphysician teaches about the Law of Cause and Effect in the world of demonstration and how we must stay out-of-the-way of the channels through which things […]
Read more "Trusting Our Intuition"When I called my mother on Mother’s Day, she said something very beautiful to me and very unlike our normal conversations. In childlike giggles she said, “You are my love child. When your father put his hands on me, you just came out.” She was awkward with her words and although it almost sounded funny […]
Read more "Born of Love"I’ve been reading the works of Florence Scovel Shinn, an amazing women of the Nineteeen Hundreds. She is very much about the Bible and its metaphorical meaning. In no way does she teach from it literally. Everything is a metaphor and each and every story is about you and me. All the characters represent something […]
Read more "The Bible is You"There was a woman named Anna Jarvis who is apparently responsible for fighting to put Mother’s Day on the calendar in the United States. It started as an idea she conceived after the death of her own mother. She wanted mothers honored for the sacrifices they had made for their children. As the story, goes […]
Read more "Happy Mother’s Day 2017!"Last night, I experienced a guided meditation that began with these words, “I’m going to die and I don’t know when…” The meditation proceeded to repeat and expound on this idea in various ways. As I sat there with my eyes closed, breathing deeply and trying to remain as open as possible to the ideas […]
Read more "Do I Die?"What did you expect!!! Does anyone remember having someone saying that to you? It would happen right after someone did something either good or bad. We’d say as more of a statement, “What did you expect!” In other words, the person acted in just the exact manner as expected by us. Our outcomes in life […]
Read more "What Did You Expect!"I am so grateful for a philosophy that teaches me about the power of suggestion. Of course, we all have control of what we allow into our minds, but it isn’t always easy to re-channel the things others say to us. A few days ago, my husband gave a talk about how it was suggested […]
