The Magic of Sunrise

Most mornings, I have the opportunity to take my coffee and sit outside before the sun rises. I love this time of day. It is those few moments, as the night is leaving and the new day has not yet begun. This morning, I sat there watching the sky, not wanting it to end. It […]

What is Easter? What is Passover?

I am a New Thought minister and tomorrow, Sunday, I will be at our spiritual center. I will find the words and articulate what Easter and Passover mean to me. I was brought up in the Catholic Faith. I was indoctrinated through parochial schooling and a Catholic home life to believe in the crucifixion and […]

She’s Gone From Sight

Almost six weeks ago, I was forced to rush to the Island of Oahu from my home on Kaua`i to have retina repair surgery. It was sudden, unexpected and quite a whirlwind trip. You can read more about it in my blogs called “My Hero’s Journey,” beginning on March 12, 2022. One of the most […]

The Solution is Wholeness

I read a powerful passage in the Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes. It was centered around this question: What can bring us peace, harmony, prosperity and all our good?

Many of us were brought up under the influence of peers, teachers and parents that taught us that it’s as Madonna sang in the 80’s: “It’s a […]

Thank Heaven for Little Girls

There is an old song from the musical Gigi called “Thank Heaven for Little Girls.” I don’t remember the words to the song, but I am saying that to myself, “Thank Heaven for my little girl.” I am grateful for her because she gets my attention in difficult situations and helps me to take care […]

The Dream of the Black Panther

A black panther came to me in my dream a few nights ago. It was the most frightening dream I’ve had in a long time, and so real that I woke up with my heart pounding. It went like this. I was at with a group of people I knew in a hotel room, where […]

Moving Forward Into Creation

“There is no stagnation in Spirit, nor should there be any in our idea of spirituality. To be spiritual is to create. The Spirit is alive, conscious, aware and active.” Ernest Holmes Yesterday, I wrote a blog about the bubble in my eye left there from my retina repair surgery. I compared it to being […]

Seeing Beyond My Bubble

Have you ever felt like you are trapped in a bubble called your life? I am trapped in a bubble that was placed in my eye almost four weeks ago during a retina surgery. It’s a physical thing, but there is something metaphorical about it. The question I am asking: Is can I see beyond […]
