Come to the Cabaret!

On July 13 and 14, my husband and I will present a Cabaret at our Center. The room will be transformed to resemble a New York Cabaret with tables and decorations. There will be a delectable pupu buffet with drinks. Patrick and I will entertain everyone for over an hour. The evening is full. What’s […]

Am I Perfect?

Yesterday, I sat with someone who told me that we were all born imperfect. I know that many of us were taught this in our religion classes; however, through further contemplation, prayer, study and reading of the great books, including the Bible, I could not agree with this person. I have come to believe that […]

It is a Responsibility

Last night, my husband and I gave a class on the work of Florence Shinn: The Game of Life and How to Play It. There were about 30 people in attendance, some new to our philosophy and some seasoned ministers. What I knew about last evening, when it ended, was that it was perfect. During the […]

A New Thought Look on the Ten Commandments of Moses…

A while back, I wrote a New Thought Look on the Ten Commandments. I have been asked to re-print them. Here is my writing of July 2012. ———————————————————————— God was said to have given Moses Ten Commandments that the people of Israel were to live by. In the Philosophy of Science of Mind, we do […]

There is a Power for Good

Ernest Holmes, the Founder of Religious Science and a great mystic and teacher, would start all his meetings with this phrase, “There is a Power for Good in the Universe Greater than we are and we can use it.” Later, as I studied Religious Science and the New Thought movement, my teacher would add to […]

Free to Choose

We are approaching July and I am thinking about the spiritual idea of freedom. What is freedom? Freedom to me is the ability to choose and to accept the responsibility of those choices. There can be no other way for me. I know I am free to choose, because I am free to think and […]

Spinning Straw into Gold

Joseph Alexander wrote, “The secret of fairy-tales longevity and continuing interest lays in their spiritual foundation, not their entertainment value.” We’ve been studying fairy tales all month here at our Center on Kaua’i. This week, I’ve been contemplating on the tale of Rumpelstiltskin. At first, I spent a lot of time, surfing the net to […]

Happy Father’s Day

My father made his transition almost two decades ago. I woke up this morning and I thought of him. It’s Father’s Day after all. I whispered, “Happy Father’s Day, Daddy!” He’s still here in the heart of my life and I do feel him. I believe that when people close to us pass they do […]

What is Mine to Do?

In these times, many of us feel helpless. We might feel scared. We might feel overwhelmed by what’s happening in the world. We think there is nothing we can do to help. That is so far from the truth. There is so much we can do. We can begin by envisioning what we want to […]

What’s a Father?

Father Day approaches. It and Mother’s Day are the two most difficult holidays to discuss and celebrate as a pulpit minister. Why? Because of the relationships and ideas that are experienced and believed about fathers. Many have not had the best of relationships with their fathers. Some have had none at all. Some relationships are […]
