The Man in the Mirror…

In her book, The Secret Door to Success, Florence Shinn expounds on the tale of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.” I love movies and stories and legends and myths because they tell me about myself and how my mind works. I want to know about my mind because I know that it is my […]

In Whom Do You Trust?

Who do you trust? It is a good question to ask oneself no matter how old we are, how many friends we think we have or what we are doing. In whom do you put your trust? What does it mean to trust another? To me, it means that I always know that no matter […]

God & Company

I am reading the works of Genevieve Behrend. She is the only pupil of Judge Thomas Troward, the New Thought writer of the 1900’s. Miss Behrend wrote, “The Law of Life is God and Company. You are the Company, and you cannot in any sense be an idle partner, if you wish to profit by […]

Spiritual Mind Healing – What is it…Really?

In 2007 after more than four years of study, I passed my exams and panels and became a Practitioner of Religious Science. The title RScP followed my name and I began the journey of dedicating myself to knowing the Truth for others and practicing Spiritual Mind Healing. I remember the day I received the news […]

Is It Kind? Is It Necessary? Is it True?

Florence Shinn wrote, “Man’s word is his wand filled with magic and power!” Our words are mighty swords. If we swing them one way, they nurture life and make it grow. It we swing them the other way, they can destroy. There was an old saying that I grew up with, “Sticks and stones will […]

Looking for True Love’s Kiss…

In every fairytale, there is a hero or heroine. This figure lives in the mundane world. It is a world without magic or where dreams seldom come true. Through the course of each story, the character is awakened to his or her true self and after this journey they live happily ever after. There was […]

Poise…Balance

I do not know a lot about dancing, but I can only assume that it takes poise and balance for a dancer to dance on point or with toe shoes. One of my nieces studies ballet and I heard that she goes through a pair of toe shoes every month or less. It takes a […]

By Your Words…

I have been reading all the works of Florence Scovel Shinn, as I get ready to teach a fun, inspiring one-evening workshop at CSL Kaua’i in June. She never minces words and talks straight to us in her writing. The basic premise is: “By your words you prosper or are condemned.” It might seem harsh, […]

Girls Climb Trees

I have always been the girl who knew in her heart she could have what she put her mind to. Sometimes, I might have to wait for it, but as my grandma used to tell me, “Good things come to those who wait.” I believed her. When I was growing up, I loved to climb […]

Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory…

Could you entertain the idea for a moment that the word, Lord means Law. It makes perfect sense. We cannot see God or the Force of all Creation. In fact, no one has ever seen him/her. I believe this is because God is a Presence and can only be felt within. God is a personal […]
