Intentions, Expectations and other Magic

I have had the great opportunity of experiencing a beautiful retreat here in the high desert of New Mexico with Gregg Braden. It’s called “Human Breakthrough.” On our first day, my husband and I had a conversation about intentions vs. expectations. It stemmed from the activities of our traveling day. We had a very smooth […]

It’s Your Birthright!

What is a birthright? The dictionary tells us it is “a particular right of possession or privilege one has from birth.” I’m not sure I knew this when I was a child. No one told me I had a birthright? I just grew up with my parents’ beliefs and teachings and then became an adult […]

Musings on Turning 70

As I about to enter a new decade, I take a deep breath and sit in wonder of the life I have lived up to this point. I cannot believe how many lives I’ve lived within this one life of 70 years. If I look back, I hardly recognize myself. Do you ever feel this […]

Stop! In the Name of Love

Okay, I just listened to the song “Stop! In the Name of Love.” Did I really listen to these songs in my younger days and actually like them? I’m not putting Diana Ross down. She’s proved her talent and legacy. I am just questioning a song that would let a woman know it’s okay to […]

Daring Greatly

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and […]

Out Beyond Ideas of Wrongdoing and Rightdoing…

There has been a lot going on in my world. It has been challenging and inspiring at the same time. It has been disappointing; and yet, a time for expansion and growth. What I have come to understand is that there are times when one must let go and just know with a certainty who […]

Ready or Not, HERE, I Choose!

“We cannot live a choiceless life. Every second there is a choice. If it were not so, we would not beindividuals.” Ernest Holmes wrote this in the 1920’s. He went on to inform us that we have the right to choose how we want to live, where we want to live and even the […]

Invisible + Faith = Visible

There is a statement by Ernest Holmes, Founder of the Science of Mind and Spirit that goes like this: “The invisible passes into visibility through our faith in it.” I’d like to talk about this statement and how it relates to my life. I’ve proved this statement in many instances in my life. There is […]

The Master Architect

An architect is “a person who designs and guides a plan or undertaking.” An architect doesn’t build anything. He designs it. Yes, he or she might advise on the construction, and might know what will withstand the elements of time and space where the building lies, but the architect is not picking up the hammer […]

Living as Unarmed Truth

Martin Luther King Jr., spoke these words, “I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never be a reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” I contemplate […]
