A Holy Act

We have been clearing out my mom’s apartment the past two days. We continue today. For those who are catching this blog for the first time, my mother passed away on April 2. I am in Florida. Clearing out her apartment is probably the hardest part of this journey. Yet, it is a holy act. […]

A Reality Check

I woke up this morning and I thought, “I really need a Reality check!” I’ve forgotten who I am. I almost called Patrick to remind me of who I am and then, thank God, it was too early. I was forced to do the right thing – go within! There is no time or space […]

All is Well

As I meditated today, I felt that it would be good to have a mantra to which I could turn today. It is the day of my mother’s funeral mass. I’ve been keeping you up with this journey, but have I mentioned the ups and downs of emotions that everyone experiences? Have I mentioned that […]

Choices, Gratitude and My Mother

What am I feeling today? Centered and so grateful that I am prayed up. My mother’s wake was today and I was able to move through it with ease and grace. I gave her eulogy and then I got the strong urge to sing the Ave Maria for everyone. I did a capella, bringing everyone […]

When in Rome…

There is an old saying, “when in Rome, do as the Romans do.” I always took it to mean to adapt to where you are and don’t try to fight it. Assimilate! Fit in! I’m doing that right now. I am in the midst of many people who do not act or believe the way […]

This is Hard

Does Spirit get tired? I don’t think it is possible for Spirit to get tired because it is the one Power, inexhaustible energy that has no beginning or end and is continually creating from itself again and again. I am that Spirit, so why am I asking this question? Well, I’ve just traveled for over […]

It Is Done Unto Us As We Believe

My mother Clare Andriello-Trosclair made her transition early this morning Eastern time and Easter Sunday my time. She was ready to go and peaceful. A couple of weeks ago, she told me the story of the two swans and how when one dies, the other dies, too, sometimes. She missed her husband Bob Trosclair very, […]

All Things New

Happy Easter! Happy Passover! Happy April Fools’ Day! And, happy birthday to my friend Kevin! This weekend is a special weekend. It is the weekend of two of the greatest miracles that ever happened. Firstly, the great story of the Angel of death passing over the Israelites’ door without touching them during the time of […]

We All Matter

I saw an amazing movie last night – “I Am,” and it sent me thinking even more deeply about our connection in consciousness. What if you could do one little thing today that would shift the world? What if what you thought about today could shift the world? What if what you felt today could […]

There is Only Life!

Over the years as I have contemplated the idea of death, I have learned much from the teachings of Science of Mind and Spirit. I’ve acquainted myself with other beliefs and ideas, but this one rings most real to me. As I am contemplating death even more lately because of my Mom’s condition, I am […]
