Happy Anniversary, Patrick!

Happy Anniversary to my beautiful and amazing husband Patrick Feren. We have known each other for 23 years and are celebrating 19 years of marriage today, July 1, 2020. We chose July 1 as our wedding day because of the film “An Affair to Remember.” We identified with that film because of the love that […]

What is Your Default Setting?

What is Causation? It is that from which all things come. Behind every effect there is a mental cause. We are the mental cause. It is our thoughts, our beliefs, our actions. We can also reset that mental cause in any moment. Ernest Holmes wrote, “We can change the trend of causation in any moment […]

Consciousness Creates

There truly is a Law of Attraction. It is real and it is feeling our every vibration right now. What is this Law of Attraction? It isn’t fanciful dreaming. It isn’t just about thinking about what you want. It is the essence of our vibratory level of consciousness. It is what we are in every […]

Father is Us

Yesterday was Father’s Day and no matter our childhood, our relationship with our father or what kind of father we think we are, it is a sacred day, especially right now.

Surrender the Cause

As I awoke this morning, I felt what I now understand is Island Fever. I came to this Island in 2013 and I have never felt it, because I have always been driven by my passion for the Science of Mind and Center for Spiritual Living Kauai. It was my 24/7 life. I knew I […]

CONNECTING THE DOTS

I have in deep grief for the past few month, as it seems that every Sunday I have had to stand in front of our congregation and find some way to explain what is going on in the world, to offer comfort, to reveal truth aback the rubble of despair. I do not despair although […]

Minister is a Verb

For the past five days, I have taken part in a Ministerial Intensive. Eighteen ministerial students came together with their teachers and other leaders from the New Thought Community to be paneled, to attend workshops, and to give talks.
