The Tipping Point

I am amazed and excited that a country came together yesterday for Nature’s gift in the Solar Eclipse. I felt a definite shift yesterday. We reached what Ernest Holmes would call “the tipping point” yesterday. The greater majority came together in unity to witness the magnificence and power of Nature. There was joy. There were […]

Living In Ease and Grace

I found a new mentor today, while surfing the net for quotes about ease and grace. His name is Panache Desai. He wrote, “When you are in harmony with yourself, everything unfolds with ease and grace.” And then… “If you are living to be liked, you are suffering. It is painful to live a life […]

What Are You Thinking?

There is something we all possess and use in every moment. It is called our mental equivalent. Our mental equivalent is the out-picturing of our lives that is created from what we hold in consciousness as true.

Charlottesville

This week another violent hateful act took place in Charlottesville. I understand and am aware of everything going on in the world, but I have to take a reality check.

What is a Center for Spiritual Living Practitioner?

Chamber of Prayer for Richard Diamond

It was a call from a man who has held this Island together in what he calls “The Heartbeat of Kaua’i.” Richard Diamond is most definitely the heartbeat of Kaua’i. He holds us all together with his generosity of […]

What is Grace?

What can I say about Grace? How can I define it? Rumi writes, “Give up to grace. The ocean takes care of each wave ’til it gets to shore. You need more help than you know.” Emma Curtis Hopkins called it “Free Grace.” A gift that only has to be accepted. “Every way you turn, […]

Growing Up Right Where I Am…

Ernest Holmes wrote in the Science of Mind, “The way to proceed is to begin right where we are. It is not scientific to attempt to begin somewhere else. One who understands the systematic use of the Law will understand that she is where she is because of what she is, but she will not […]

I Didn’t Know What to Do

Yesterday, I had an experience that was both frightening and enlightening. It was 6:30am and we heard something rustling in the overgrowth around our house. Thinking it was a chicken or perhaps the dozens of cats that live in the jungle behind us, we ignored it. Then, while my husband was taking an outdoor shower, […]
