Victim or Authority?

This morning I woke up with a full heart. I was thinking of my father again and all that he went through during WWII. (See my blog from May 28). I was struck by the thought of forgiveness and how important it is in our lives. What do I define as forgiveness? I believe it […]

How Do I Communicate?

This is the question for the week in James Mellon’s Mental Muscle Spiritual Boot Camp. It is a good one, too. What I am realizing as I move into my week of communication on many levels is this: if I have a clarity of intention and a lot of self-respect and mutual respect for the […]

In Memory of Rocco Andriello

I was walking on the coastal path here on Kaua’i, and I thought that I would memorialize my father today on Memorial Day. He fought in WWII but on the Italian side. He deserted when he realized that what he was fighting for was not in alignment with what he truly believed. He had to […]

From the Light

We talk about, read about, and some who have had NED’s have actually experienced it. They have seen the Light. They say we go to the Light when we die. Steve Job’s is said to have said, “Wow! Wow!” right before he passed on. He was looking at something. I saw my own mother-in-law do […]

We Really Are Perfect

“Always behind the appearance, perfection is.” Ernest Holmes There is a Divine Perfection behind everything. If there weren’t, we could never heal of anything.

A New Birth

It has been amazing week. There has been so many facets of life in front of me. The loss of Merlin, our cat is deep. It gets a little better each day as we surrender and accept the highest good for her and us. We know there is Divine perfection behind every experience. That is […]

Where is the Child in You?

There is a passage in the Bible where Jesus is to have said, “Be as little children.” Ernest Holmes writes in today’s reading of Science of Mind, “The life of the child is lived in natural goodness. God is natural goodness. The prison walls of false experience soon build themselves into barriers, shutting out the […]

I am Worth It!

I sit in my new home, so grateful for my life. The oxymoron of feeling this much gratitude and joy, and also missing and mourning Merlin, our cat, is still quite unsettling. I am still working through this and allowing myself the time to feel all my emotions. I am not rushing anything. However, right […]

Can We Demand It All? Part II

Yesterday, I wrote about the disappearance of our cat Merlin and my thoughts surrounding it. I questioned if I can demand her return. I’ve had another day to think and pray on this idea and I want to share my thoughts again as this relates to all areas of our life. In our teaching of […]

Can We Demand It All?

On Thursday, our cat Merlin disappeared. She was adjusting really well to her new living space and seemed to be really enjoying being an only cat. We were spoiling her totally. We did not anticipate that she would just disappear. It seemed to come out of no where. I am just going to relate my […]
