Free of Minutia/e

As I enter the 2nd day of our stay-cation here on the west end of the Island of Kaua`i, I am just landing. It has been a full time for us since June of 2022 and before. In fact, our life is always full and busy as Spiritual Directors of a growing Center. What am […]

Say Grace!

When I was growing up in a Catholic home, it was mandatory and traditional to say what is called Grace before our meals. It went like this: Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts, which we are about to receive from Thy bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen. That prayer became rote and memorized […]

The Voice

There is a Voice within us that is not just any voice. It is the Voice of our True Self. It is the Voice of what I call Intuition. It doesn’t just give us a hunch that we should do something. When we hear this Voice, we Know beyond any shadow of a doubt that […]

After the Ball is Over

I just recently returned from a nonstop trip to Los Angeles and Palm Springs. I went from one event to the next, enjoying myself all the way. I spent two of the days in retreat with more than fifty like-minded people. I was most definitely upgraded in consciousness. I claimed a first-class journey and most […]

Living as All That I Am

I have found that frequently I find myself wanting to be more than I am. In other words, I look to having bigger projects, writing more books, growing our Center, making more money, etc. More…more…more… can become an addiction because the more we want the more we feel lack.

S.C.A.M.

This blog is based on a message I gave at CSL Kaua`i on 10/30/22. As soon as we found out we were forced to move from our home after 4.5 years, we began to look for a new home to rent. There is a consciousness on Kaua`i that it is difficult to find a home […]

Embracing the More

My father stood with a cup of coffee in his hand. He liked the kind with the cup and the saucer. I think it made him feel more affluent drinking from a cup like that. I know, for myself, when I want to feel a little closer to my dad and also feel a feeling […]

Turtle Peace

“The sea turtle symbolized longevity, peace, grounding, ancient wisdom and emotional strength wherever it goes.” Tanya Casteel Last night we had the gift of witnessing the sea turtles come ashore to sleep for the night on Brenekes Beach, Poipu.. By 8pm, there were at least 80 turtles sleeping peacefully on the beach. We stood and […]
