What Do You Know?

Last night, my best friends beautiful daughter made her transition. It’s been a very deep and challenging week since her car accident on Sunday night. I’ve been in here in L.A. helping in any way I can. That has meant many things at different times; however, it has not meant picking up my pen and […]

It Might Be Time to Surrender

If you’ve been working at something very hard, if you’ve been wanting something, if you’ve been praying for something night and day, and are feeling so frustrated, it might be that you’ve reached the point of surrender. What is surrender? It is not giving up. It is not saying that you don’t care what happens […]

The Energy of Gratitude

I can hear the Universe calling. “I’m here. I’ll give you everything you are. Giving me your gratitude lets me know what it is you do want. It lets me know who you are. Give me your gratitude!” Of course, there is no Universe outside ourselves calling us. It is our very being, that place […]

Time Out

Last night, we saw the Hawaiian Children’s Theater perform the musical “Newsies.” We watched 50+ actors, ages 10 and up sing and dance and tell the story of the Newsboys’ strike of 1899. It was amazing. I am always amazed when I go to theater on this small Island. It is really good. I was […]

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Well, it’s officially begun. The Holidays are here. We can’t believe it. Weren’t we just celebrating Holidays 2017? Time does go quickly. I love the Holidays, and it has nothing to do with the presents. Really. I just love the Spirit of it all. This year it is taking on especially important meaning, as we […]

Happy Thanksgiving

I have always loved the Thanksgiving Holiday. When I was little, the tradition was to watch the Macy’s Day Thanksgiving Parade and then dinner consisted of not just turkey, but lasagna. My dad had to bring that Italian heritage to the table on even an “American” holiday. When I moved off the East Coast, that […]

Do You Feel It?

You are not imagining it. I am hearing it from so many near and far. They feel something. They want to do something. Some are not sure what it is, but it is welling up within them – a feeling of expansiveness, longing, wanting to express themselves in a new way. People are moving, dying, […]

Use It or Lose It

I’ve heard the expression with the study of language: “Use it or lose it.” It’s true. It’s why I’ve never been able to consistently study and learn a language although I used to say, I want to learn to speak this or that. I needed to make the commitment to use it. And, I didn’t. […]

I Let the Old Fall Off

Ancestry and lineage is being talked about among many. Things like Ancestry.com and other genealogy research forums are being pursued by many in my circle of awareness. I just purchased a DNA package myself. I think the information we gather by finding out where we come from, biologically speaking, is just that information. I plan, […]

There is a Field…REALLY!

Ernest Holmes once wrote, “There is one Infinite Mind from which all things come. This Mind is through in and around man. It is the only Mind there is and every time man thinks he uses it.” This was not a new idea for Ernest Holmes for he said that he found it in all […]
